• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WI715 - No object selected ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WI715 No object selected
  
  Cause:
  The error message WI715 No object selected typically occurs in SAP Workflow when an action or step is executed but no valid object (such as a business object instance) has been selected or passed to the workflow container. In other words, the workflow expects an object reference to work on, but it is missing or not properly assigned.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  The workflow step is triggered without specifying the required object.
  The container element that should hold the object reference is empty or not correctly bound.
  The object key or ID is not passed from the triggering program or event.
  Incorrect or missing binding between workflow container elements and the business object.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WI715 No object selected error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Workflow Container Bindings:
  
  Go to the workflow builder (transaction SWDD).
  Open the workflow and check the container elements.
  Verify that the object container element is correctly bound to the business object instance.
  Ensure that the object reference is passed correctly from the triggering event or step.
  
  
  
  Verify Event or Triggering Program:
  
  If the workflow is started by an event, check the event binding and ensure the object key is passed.
  If started by a program, verify that the object instance is correctly passed to the workflow start method.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Step Settings:
  
  For the step causing the error, check the binding of the step container.
  Make sure the step has the required object reference assigned.
  
  
  
  Debug the Workflow:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to find the workflow instance.
  Use SWUS or SWI2_DIAG to analyze the workflow.
  Debug the workflow to see where the object reference is lost or not assigned.
  
  
  
  Correct Object Assignment:
  
  Assign the correct object instance to the workflow container element.
  If necessary, adjust the workflow logic to ensure the object is always selected before the step executes.
