• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WK008 - Entries cannot be displayed for current column selection ?

  The SAP error message WK008: "Entries cannot be displayed for current column selection" typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow (transaction codes like SWI1, SWI5, or when displaying workflow logs and tasks).
  
  Cause:
  
  The error WK008 arises when you try to display workflow log entries or workflow tasks with a column selection or filter that does not correspond to any existing data.
  This usually happens if the column selection or filter criteria are too restrictive or incompatible with the data available in the workflow log.
  For example, if you select columns or filters that do not match the workflow steps or tasks currently present, the system cannot display any entries and throws this message.
  It can also occur if the workflow log is empty or the workflow instances do not have data for the selected columns.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust Column Selection:
  
  Go to the column selection or layout settings in the workflow log display screen.
  Remove or modify the columns that are causing the issue.
  Try selecting a more general or default set of columns to ensure data is available.
  
  
  
  Check Filter Criteria:
  
  Review any filters applied to the workflow log or task list.
  Remove overly restrictive filters or broaden the selection criteria (e.g., date ranges, workflow types, statuses).
  
  
  
  Verify Workflow Data:
  
  Confirm that there are workflow instances or tasks available for the selected workflow or period.
  If no data exists, the system cannot display entries regardless of column selection.
  
  
  
  Reset Layout:
  
  In some cases, resetting the layout to default settings can resolve the issue.
  Use the layout management options (e.g., "Settings" -> "Layout" -> "Reset") to restore default columns.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view the workflow data.
  Lack of authorization might result in no data being displayed.
