• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS690 - Please select at least one processing state ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_PROCESS690 – Please select at least one processing state
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow or Document Management System (DMS) when you attempt to process or filter workflow tasks, documents, or change documents without selecting any processing state. The system expects you to specify at least one processing state (e.g., "In Process," "Completed," "Error," etc.) to filter or process the relevant items. If no processing state is selected, the system cannot determine which items to include, hence it throws this error.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When using transaction codes related to workflow processing or document processing (e.g., in workflow inbox, task processing, or document change processing).
  When applying filters or selection criteria in reports or processing screens that require a processing state.
  When running batch jobs or background processing that require a processing state filter.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select at least one processing state:
  
  On the selection screen or filter criteria screen, ensure you select one or more processing states before proceeding. For example, check boxes like "In Process," "Completed," "Error," or any other relevant states available.
  
  
  Check default values:
  
  Sometimes, the selection screen might not have default values set. Make sure the default processing states are set or manually select them.
  
  
  Review user input:
  
  If the error occurs in a custom program or user exit, verify that the code correctly passes the processing state parameters and that the selection screen enforces the selection.
  
  
  Consult SAP documentation or notes:
  
  If the issue persists, check SAP Notes or the SAP Help Portal for any known issues or patches related to this message.
