  SAP Error Message: WI713
  Message Text:
  
  &1 &2 does not have authorization to execute tasks
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a user tries to execute a workflow task but does not have the necessary authorization to perform that task. In SAP Workflow, each task execution requires specific authorizations, and if the user lacks these, the system raises this error.
  Common reasons include:
  
  The user is not assigned the required authorization objects for the workflow task.
  The workflow task is restricted by organizational levels or other authorization fields.
  Missing or incorrect role assignments in the user master record.
  The workflow container or task is configured to require specific authorizations that the user does not possess.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WI713 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Task and User:
  
  From the error message, note the task name (&1) and the user (&2) who encountered the error.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization Objects:
  
  Determine which authorization objects are required for the workflow task.
  Common authorization objects related to workflow tasks include:
  
  S_WF_WI (Workflow: Work Item)
  S_WF_TSK (Workflow: Task)
  S_WF_OBJ (Workflow: Object)
  
  
  Use transaction PFTC to display the task and check its authorization requirements.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to check the roles assigned to the user.
  Use SUIM to analyze the user's authorizations and check if the required authorization objects and values are included.
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations for the workflow task.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles or Authorizations:
  
  If missing, add the required authorization objects and values to the user's roles.
  If organizational levels or other restrictions apply, ensure the user has the correct values assigned.
  
  
  
  Test the Workflow Task Execution:
  
  After updating authorizations, have the user retry the task execution.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Logs:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWIA to analyze workflow logs and confirm the authorization issue.
