• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP210 - No unique entry found in table WPLST for work item & ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WP210 No unique entry found in table WPLST for work item &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to find a unique entry for a specific work item in the table WPLST but finds either:
  
  No entry at all, or  
  More than one entry (non-unique entries) for the given work item.
  
  The table WPLST stores information about workflow work items. Each work item should have a unique entry in this table. If the system cannot find exactly one entry, it cannot proceed with the workflow processing, leading to this error.
  Common reasons include:
  
  Inconsistent or corrupted workflow data in the database.  
  Work item was deleted or partially deleted but references still exist.  
  Database inconsistencies due to incomplete workflow processing or system crashes.  
  Custom code or manual database changes affecting workflow tables.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Work Item Existence:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWI5 to search for the work item number mentioned in the error.
  Verify if the work item exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Check Table WPLST:
  
  Use SE16/SE16N to look up the work item in table WPLST.
  Confirm if there is exactly one entry for the work item.
  If multiple entries exist, this indicates data inconsistency.
  
  
  
  Rebuild or Delete the Work Item:
  
  If the work item is corrupted or inconsistent, you may need to delete it and recreate it.
  Use transaction SWU_OBUF or workflow tools to delete the problematic work item.
  Alternatively, use SWPR (Workflow Repair) or SWU3 (Workflow Customizing) to check and repair workflow inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Standard Reports:
  
  Run report RSWWORKI to analyze and fix workflow inconsistencies.
  Run report RSWWORKF to find and fix stuck or inconsistent work items.
  
  
  
  Check for OSS Notes:
  
  Search SAP OSS Notes for the error message WP210.
  There might be specific notes or patches addressing this issue for your SAP version.
  
  
  
  Database Consistency Check:
  
  Run database consistency checks for workflow tables.
  If necessary, involve your Basis team to check for database corruption.
  
  
  
  Workflow Restart:
  
  Sometimes restarting the workflow runtime (via transaction SWU3) can help.
