WI506 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  WI506: Evaluation group "Group" is not filled
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when the system tries to determine the agents (users or roles) responsible for a workflow step, but the Evaluation Group (also called Agent Determination Group) is not maintained or is empty in the workflow configuration.
  In other words, the workflow step expects an evaluation group to be assigned to find the responsible agents, but this group is missing or not properly defined.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Evaluation Group is used in SAP Workflow to group agents for a particular step.
  When a workflow step is configured to determine agents dynamically, it uses the evaluation group to find the correct users or roles.
  If the evaluation group is not maintained or is empty, the system cannot find any agents, resulting in the WI506 error.
  
  
  
  Solution:
