  SAP Error Message: WFRE_CON221
  Text: Restrict your selection for reference module assignments
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of Workflow Reference Module Assignments in SAP. Specifically, it happens when you try to assign or select reference modules in a workflow without sufficiently restricting your selection criteria.
  
  The system requires that when you assign reference modules (which are reusable workflow components or tasks), you must limit your selection to avoid ambiguous or overly broad assignments.
  If the selection criteria are too broad or not properly restricted, the system cannot determine the correct reference module assignment, leading to this error.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During workflow configuration or maintenance, especially when working with reference modules in the Workflow Builder or customizing.
  When assigning reference modules to workflow steps or tasks without specifying enough filters or conditions.
  When trying to activate or validate workflows that include reference modules with ambiguous assignments.
