  The system requires at least one work item type to be selected to know which work items to retrieve or process.
  This is a mandatory selection criterion for the transaction or report being executed.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  In transaction SWI1 (Work Item Selection) or similar workflow-related transactions.
  When filtering or searching for work items, if the "Work Item Type" field is left blank or no checkbox is selected.
  It can also occur in custom reports or programs that require work item type selection.

  Additional Information:
  
  Work Item Types define the kind of workflow objects you want to work with.
  If you are unsure which work item type to select, consult your workflow administrator or check the workflow documentation.
  This error is a simple validation message to ensure meaningful data retrieval.
  If you frequently need to select the same work item types, consider saving a variant with the selection criteria to avoid this error in the future.
  In custom programs, ensure that the selection screen enforces the selection of at least one work item type or provides a default.
