  SAP Error Message: WI604
  Text: No exceeded deadlines within specified selections
  
  
  Cause:
  This message appears when you try to display or process work items (tasks, workflow steps) with exceeded deadlines, but the system does not find any work items that meet the selection criteria you specified.
  In other words, the system searched for workflow tasks whose deadlines have been exceeded (i.e., tasks that are overdue), but none were found based on the filters or selection parameters you entered.
  
  When does this occur?
  
  When you use transaction codes or reports that list workflow tasks with exceeded deadlines, such as:
  SWI6 (Display Work Items with Exceeded Deadlines)
  SWI5 (Work Items)
  Or any custom report/query that filters for overdue workflow tasks.
  
  
  If your selection criteria (date range, user, task type, workflow ID, etc.) are too restrictive or incorrect, no matching work items will be found.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check your selection
