  SAP Error Message: WK300 - Function not possible for the selected entries
  
  Cause:
  The error message WK300 typically occurs in the SAP Workflow environment when you try to perform a function or action on workflow tasks or workflow objects that are not valid for the selected entries. This means:
  
  The function you are trying to execute is not allowed for the current status or type of the workflow task or object.
  The selected workflow tasks might be in a status that does not permit the requested operation (e.g., completed, canceled, or already processed tasks).
  The workflow container or object does not support the function you are trying to perform.
  You might be trying to perform a mass operation on multiple entries where some entries do not support the function.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Trying to delete or change workflow tasks that are already completed or deleted.
  Attempting to restart or reprocess workflow steps that are not in a restartable state.
  Performing workflow functions on tasks that belong to different workflow types or statuses.
  Using transaction codes or workflow tools to perform actions on invalid or inconsistent workflow entries.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WK300 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of Workflow Tasks:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 (Selection of Workflow Logs) or SWI5 (Work Item Selection) to check the status of the workflow tasks.
  Ensure that the tasks you want to process are in a status that allows the intended function (e.g., ready, in process).
  
  
  
  Verify the Function Applicability:
  
  Confirm that the function you want to perform is valid for the selected workflow tasks or objects.
  Refer to SAP documentation or workflow configuration to understand which functions are allowed for which statuses.
  
  
  
  Select Appropriate Entries:
  
  If performing mass operations, ensure that all selected entries support the function.
  Filter or select only those workflow tasks that are eligible.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction or Tool:
  
  Use the appropriate SAP transaction codes for workflow administration, such as:
  
  SWI1 - Workflow Log
  SWI5 - Work Item Selection
  SWI6 - Workflow Inbox
  SWI2_FREQ - Frequent Tasks
  
  
  Avoid using functions on workflow tasks that are not designed for those operations.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Configuration:
  
  If the problem persists, check the workflow definition and configuration in SWDD (Workflow Builder).
  Ensure that the workflow steps and container elements are correctly defined and that the function is supported.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WK300 for any known issues or patches.
  Sometimes, specific SAP kernel or workflow component patches may be required.
