  SAP Error Message: WK504 - Quota not found
  
  Cause:
  The error WK504 - Quota not found typically occurs in the SAP Workflow system when the workflow tries to determine or assign a quota for a particular task or step, but the relevant quota entry is missing or not maintained in the system.
  In SAP Workflow, quotas are used to control the distribution of work items among agents (users or roles). If the system cannot find a quota for the specified object or agent, it raises this error.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  The quota for a particular organizational unit, user, or role has not been created or maintained.
  The quota object or quota key is incorrect or missing.
  The workflow container or task is referencing a quota that does not exist.
  Custom workflow or agent determination logic is pointing to a non-existent quota.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WK504 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Quota Maintenance:
  
  Use transaction SWWL (Workflow Log) or SWI1 to identify the workflow and step causing the error.
  Identify the quota object and quota key that the workflow is trying to access.
  Go to transaction SWWQ (Maintain Quotas) or SWWQADM (Quota Administration) to check if the quota exists.
  If the quota does not exist, create and maintain the appropriate quota entries for the relevant organizational units, users, or roles.
  
  
  
  Verify Agent Assignment:
  
  Check the agent assignment method in the workflow step.
  Ensure that the agent determination logic is correct and points to valid quotas.
  If custom agent determination is used, debug or review the code to ensure it returns valid quota keys.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Container:
  
  Verify that the workflow container elements related to quota are correctly filled.
  Sometimes, missing or incorrect container values can cause the system to look for a quota that does not exist.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing:
  
  If the workflow uses custom quota objects, ensure that these are properly configured in the system.
  Check the configuration in SPRO under Workflow ? Basic Settings ? Quotas.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the workflow was transported from another system, ensure that quota entries were also transported or created in the target system.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues with quotas in workflows.
