• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG313 - The selected line has already been deleted by another user ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WG313: "The selected line has already been deleted by another user":
  
  Error Message
  WG313: The selected line has already been deleted by another user.
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP Workflow or related applications (such as SAP Business Workplace or SAP Inbox) when a user tries to perform an action (e.g., delete, change, or process) on a workflow item or a line in a list that has already been deleted or processed by another user or process.
  In other words:
  
  The workflow item or line you are trying to access or modify no longer exists because it was deleted or processed by someone else.
  The system detects that the data you are trying to work on is outdated or no longer valid.
  
  This situation often arises in multi-user environments where multiple users have access to the same workflow tasks or lists.
  
  Typical Scenarios
  
  Two users open the same workflow inbox or task list.
  One user deletes or processes a workflow item.
  The other user tries to act on the same item, but it has already been removed.
  The system throws WG313 to indicate the item is no longer available.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve
  
  
  Refresh the List or Inbox:
  
  Refresh your workflow inbox or the list of items to get the current state.
  This will update the display and remove any items that have been deleted or processed by others.
  
  
  
  Avoid Working on Stale Data:
  
  Always ensure you are working on the latest data.
  If you keep a session open for a long time, refresh before performing actions.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks or Updates:
  
  Sometimes, the item might be locked or in the process of being updated by another user.
  Wait a moment and try again.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Logs:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to check the status of workflow items.
  Confirm if the item has been completed or deleted.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Inform users about the multi-user environment and the need to refresh their inboxes regularly.
  
  
  
  Technical Investigation (if recurring):
  
  Check for any custom code or enhancements that might be causing inconsistent states.
  Review workflow container and task handling logic.
