• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFRE_CON105 - Item skipped. Header = &1 Item = &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WFRE_CON105 Item skipped. Header = &1 Item = &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error message occurs in the context of SAP Workflow. It indicates that a particular workflow item (task or step) has been skipped during processing. The placeholders &1 and &2 represent the workflow header ID and the item ID respectively.
  Why does this happen?  
  
  The workflow item was not processed because it was either already completed, deleted, or in a status that prevents further processing.
  The workflow engine detected that the item should be skipped, possibly due to a condition or because the item is no longer valid.
  It can also occur if the workflow item is locked or if there is a mismatch in the workflow container or binding.
  Sometimes, this happens if the workflow has been restarted or reprocessed and the item is no longer relevant.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Workflow item already processed or deleted.
  Workflow item locked by another user or process.
  Workflow container or binding issues causing the item to be invalid.
  Workflow restart or reprocessing causing items to be skipped.
  Custom workflow logic or exit routines causing the skip.
  System inconsistencies or database locks.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check Workflow Logs:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 (Work Item Selection) or SWI2_FREQ (Frequently Used Work Items) to find the item and check its status.
  Use SWI2_DIAG to diagnose workflow errors.
  Check the workflow log in SWI1 or SWI5 to see why the item was skipped.
  
  
  
  Check Item Status:
  
  Verify if the item is already completed or deleted.
  If the item is locked, wait or unlock it if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Analyze Workflow Container and Binding:
  
  Check if the workflow container values are correct.
  Verify if any custom code or exit routines are causing the skip.
  
  
  
  Restart or Reset Workflow:
  
  If the workflow is stuck, consider restarting the workflow or reprocessing the workflow items.
  Use transaction SWU3 to check workflow customizing and consistency.
  
  
  
  Check for System Locks or Inconsistencies:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for locks.
  Check for database inconsistencies or perform a consistency check.
  
  
  
  Debug Workflow:
  
  If necessary, debug the workflow processing to identify why the item is skipped.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is informational and indicates that the workflow engine intentionally skipped the item.
  It is not always an error; sometimes skipping is expected behavior depending on workflow design.
  If skipping causes business process issues, investigate the workflow design and conditions.
  SAP Notes and OSS messages related to workflow item skipping can provide more specific guidance.
