  Error Message
  WI119 No possible processor for task &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when the system cannot find any valid processor (user or organizational unit) to execute a particular workflow task. In other words, the workflow engine tries to assign a task to a user or role, but no suitable agent is determined based on the task's agent assignment rules.
  Common reasons include:
  
  Agent determination rules are not maintained or incorrect: The workflow task has no valid agent assignment.
  Organizational management data missing or incomplete: The workflow depends on organizational structure (e.g., positions, jobs, organizational units), but the relevant data is missing or not maintained.
  User master data issues: The user(s) expected to process the task do not exist, are locked, or have no valid workflow roles.
  Authorization issues: The potential agents do not have the required authorizations to process the task.
  Workflow container data missing or incorrect: The data used in the agent determination is not available or incorrect.
  Task is assigned to a role or organizational object that has no members.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Agent Assignment for the Task:
  
  Go to transaction PFTC (Workflow Task Maintenance).
  Select the task mentioned in the error.
  Check the Agent Assignment tab.
  Verify that the agent assignment method is correctly defined (e.g., user, role, organizational object).
  If it uses organizational objects, ensure the organizational structure is maintained.
  
  
  
  Verify Organizational Management Data:
  
  Use transactions PPOME or PO10 to check the organizational structure.
  Ensure that the positions, jobs, organizational units, and persons are correctly maintained.
  Confirm that the organizational object assigned as agent has valid members.
  
  
  
  Check User Master Data:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to verify the user(s) expected to process the task.
  Ensure users are not locked or deleted.
  Confirm users have the necessary workflow roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Container Data:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWIA to analyze the workflow instance.
  Check the container values used for agent determination.
  Make sure the container elements are correctly filled and passed to the task.
  
  
  
  Test Agent Determination:
  
  Use transaction SWI2_FREQ or SWI5 to check workflow tasks and their agents.
  Use the Agent Determination function in PFTC to simulate and verify the agents.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the potential agents have the required authorizations to process the workflow task.
  
  
  
  Reassign or Maintain Agents:
  
  If no agents are found, assign a default user or role temporarily to avoid workflow blockage.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This error is common in workflows that rely heavily on organizational management for agent determination.
  It can also occur after organizational changes, user deletions, or role changes.
  Regular maintenance of organizational data and workflow roles helps prevent this error.
  SAP Note references (if applicable) can be checked for specific versions or known bugs.
