• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WI505 - Evaluation group "Object" is not filled ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WI505 Evaluation group "Object" is not filled
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when the system expects an Evaluation Group (also called an Object) to be specified in a workflow step or container element, but it is missing or not maintained.
  
  Evaluation Group (Object) refers to the object type or classification that the workflow step or container element is supposed to evaluate or work with.
  The workflow step or container element is configured to use an object (e.g., BUS object, BOR object), but the object reference is empty or not assigned.
  This typically happens during workflow definition or runtime when the workflow container element that should hold the object reference is empty or incorrectly mapped.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During workflow execution, when the system tries to evaluate or access the object in the workflow container but finds it empty.
  During workflow definition or testing, if the container element that should hold the object is not filled or linked properly.
  When a workflow step expects an object reference to determine the agent or perform a method, but the reference is missing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Workflow Container Elements:
  
  Go to the workflow builder (transaction SWDD).
  Check the container elements of the workflow and the specific step where the error occurs.
  Ensure that the container element representing the object (e.g., Object, ObjectID, or similar) is correctly defined and filled.
  
  
  
  Verify Object Assignment in Workflow Step:
  
  In the workflow step properties, check the Agent Assignment or Method that requires the object.
  Make sure the object reference is correctly assigned from the container.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Start Event:
  
  Ensure that the workflow start event or the triggering event passes the required object reference into the workflow container.
  If the workflow is started manually or via a program, verify that the object parameter is passed correctly.
  
  
  
  Debug Workflow Container:
  
  Use transaction SWUS or SWI1 to analyze the workflow instance.
  Debug the workflow container to see if the object element is filled at runtime.
  If empty, trace back to the workflow start or previous steps to find where the object reference is lost.
  
  
  
  Correct BOR Object or Business Object Reference:
  
  If the workflow uses BOR objects, verify that the object type and key are correctly maintained.
  Check the object repository (transaction SWO1) for the object definition.
  
  
  
  Reassign or Map Container Elements:
  
  If the container element is not mapped correctly, reassign it in the workflow step or container mapping.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction SWDD: Workflow Builder to check and edit workflows.
  Transaction SWO1: Business Object Builder to check BOR objects.

  SAP Note: Check for any SAP Notes related to WI505 for specific system versions or patches.
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WI505 Evaluation group "Object" is not filled means that the workflow step expects an object reference in the container, but it is missing. The solution is to ensure that the workflow container element representing the object is properly filled and mapped, and that the workflow start event or previous steps correctly pass the object reference.
