    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WI411: Select at least one status:


    Error Message

    WI411: Select at least one status


    Cause

    This error occurs in SAP Workflow when you are trying to perform an action that requires you to select one or more workflow statuses, but no status has been selected.

    Typically, this happens in the following scenarios:

    • When you are trying to filter or display workflow tasks or instances based on their status, but you have not selected any status in the selection screen.
    • When you are defining or processing workflow steps that require status selection, and the system expects at least one status to be chosen.

    Explanation

    In SAP Workflow, statuses are used to indicate the current state of a workflow instance or task (e.g., READY, COMPLETED, IN PROCESS, ERROR). Many workflow transactions or reports require you to specify which statuses you want to include or exclude.

    If you leave the status selection empty, the system cannot determine which workflows to process or display, hence it throws the error WI411.


    Solution

    • When prompted to select statuses, make sure to select at least one status from the list.
    • If you are using a selection screen or filter, check the status selection field and choose one or more statuses.
    • If you want to select all statuses, use the "Select All" option if available.
    • If you are customizing or programming workflow reports or transactions, ensure that the status selection parameter is not left empty.
