  General Meaning:
  
  The message WK100 is a generic workflow error message that usually means there is an issue with the workflow container or the workflow task processing. The placeholders (& & & &) are replaced at runtime with specific details such as the container element name, the expected data type, the actual data type, or other relevant information.

  Container element mismatch: The workflow container element expected by a task or step does not match the actual data type or is missing.
  Incorrect binding: The binding between workflow container elements and task container elements is incorrect or incomplete.
  Missing or incorrect data: Required data for the workflow step is not available or is inconsistent.

  Check the detailed error message:
  
  Look at the full error message in the SAP system (transaction SWI1 for workflow logs or SWI2_FREQ for workflow tasks) to see what the placeholders (&) have been replaced with. This will give you clues about which container element or data type is causing the problem.
  
  
  Analyze the workflow container:
  
  Use transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) to open the workflow.
  Check the container elements and their data types.
  Verify the binding between the workflow container and the task container.
  Ensure that the data passed to the workflow step matches the expected data type.
  
  
  
  Check the workflow task:
  
  Verify the task definition in PFTC.
  Check the container elements and their expected types.

  Check authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user or agent executing the workflow has the necessary authorizations.
  Use transaction SU53 after the error occurs to check for authorization failures.
  
  
  
  Check workflow logs:
  
  Use SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to analyze the workflow log and identify the exact step where the error occurred.
  Look for additional error messages or dumps related to the workflow.
  
  
  
  Debug the workflow:
  
  If necessary, debug the workflow container processing or the task execution to identify the root cause.
