How To Fix WL853 - Work item &: Rejection not allowed

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WL - Workflow: run-time messages

• Message number: 853

• Message text: Work item &: Rejection not allowed

What causes this issue?

Processing cannot be rejected for the work item in question.

System Response

The action was terminated and the work item remains unchanged.

How to fix this error?

If rejection of processing is to be possible for a work item, the step
must be flagged accordingly in the workflow definition. This is not the
case for the step to which the specified work item refers.
If this flag is changed, this no longer applies to work items which
have already been created, as the flag is only evaluated when a work
item is created.
