  Error Message
  WI602: No completed work items within specified selections
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you attempt to display or process completed workflow work items using certain selection criteria, but there are no completed work items that match those criteria in the system.
  Common reasons include:
  
  The selection parameters (such as date range, user, workflow type, or status) do not correspond to any completed work items.
  The workflow items you are trying to view or analyze have not yet been completed.
  The workflow logs or history might have been archived or deleted.
  Incorrect or overly restrictive filters applied in the selection screen.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Broaden the date range or remove some filters to ensure you are not excluding relevant work items.
  Verify that you are selecting the correct user, workflow template, or task type.
  
  
  
  Verify Workflow Completion:
  
  Confirm that the workflow instances you expect to see are actually completed.
  Use transaction codes like SWI1 (Work Item Selection) or SWI5 (Display Completed Work Items) with appropriate filters.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Logs:
  
  Ensure that workflow logs have not been archived or deleted.
  If logs are archived, you may need to access archived data or adjust your selection accordingly.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction:
  
  Use the appropriate transaction for viewing completed work items, such as SWI5.
  If you are using a custom report or program, verify that it correctly queries completed work items.
  
  
  
  System Checks:
  
  Check if there are any system issues or inconsistencies in the workflow tables (e.g., SWWWIHEAD, SWWLOGHIST).
  Run workflow consistency checks if necessary.
