  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFRE_CON101 - Plausibility! Variant Number of Items after Function &1 at OP- Header &2 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WFRE_CON101 Plausibility! Variant Number of Items after Function &1 at OP- Header &2


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs in the context of SAP Workflow (WFRE = Workflow Runtime Error) and specifically relates to the plausibility check of the number of items in a variant after a certain function has been executed.

    • "Variant Number of Items" refers to the number of items expected or defined in a variant (a set of parameters or conditions) used in the workflow or a related process.
    • The error indicates that after executing a particular function (indicated by &1), the number of items in the variant does not match the expected or allowed number.
    • The OP-Header &2 refers to the operation header or a specific object header in the workflow or process where this inconsistency was detected.

    In simpler terms:
    The workflow or process expected a certain number of items in a variant after a function was executed, but the actual number of items is not plausible or consistent with the expected number.


    Common Causes:

    1. Incorrect Variant Configuration:
      The variant used in the workflow or process is incorrectly configured, leading to an unexpected number of items.

    2. Data Inconsistency:
      The data processed by the function (&1) may have changed the number of items unexpectedly, possibly due to missing or extra entries.

    3. Custom Code or Enhancements:
      If there are custom enhancements or user exits influencing the workflow or variant processing, they might cause the number of items to be inconsistent.

    4. Incorrect Workflow Logic:
      The workflow step or function module might be incorrectly designed or called, leading to a mismatch in expected data.


    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check Variant Configuration:

      • Review the variant used in the workflow or process.
      • Ensure that the number of items defined in the variant matches the expected number after the function execution.
    2. Analyze the Function &1:

      • Identify the function module or workflow step referenced by &1.
      • Debug or trace the function to see how it manipulates the variant items.
      • Check if the function is removing or adding items incorrectly.
    3. Check the Operation Header &2:

      • Investigate the object or header referenced by &2.
      • Verify if the data associated with this header is consistent and complete.
    4. Debug the Workflow:

      • Use transaction SWI1 (Workflow Log) or SWI2_FREQ to analyze the workflow steps and errors.
      • Debug the workflow runtime to see where the item count changes unexpectedly.
    5. Review Custom Code:

      • If custom code or user exits are involved, review them for logic errors affecting the variant items.
    6. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to WFRE_CON101 for any known issues or patches.
      • If the problem persists, consider raising a message with SAP Support including detailed logs and traces.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SWI1 - Workflow Log
      • SWI2_FREQ - Workflow Error Analysis
      • SWOT - Workflow Builder (to check workflow design)
      • SE37 - Function Module Test (to test the function &1)
    • SAP Modules:

      • This error is typically related to SAP Workflow (WF) but can appear in modules where workflow or variant processing is involved (e.g., MM, SD, PM).
    • Debugging Tips:

      • Set breakpoints in the function module &1.
      • Check the internal tables or structures holding the variant items before and after the function execution.

    If you provide the actual values of &1 and &2 or the context (module, transaction, workflow), I can help you with more specific guidance.
