• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG020 - Invalid mandatory indicator &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG020: Invalid mandatory indicator &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow or Process Integration scenarios when a parameter or field that is marked as mandatory (required) has an invalid or incorrect mandatory indicator setting. Essentially, the system expects a parameter to be flagged as mandatory (or not), but the indicator value provided is not recognized or is inconsistent with the expected configuration.
  Common causes include:
  
  Incorrect configuration of the mandatory indicator in the workflow or integration scenario.
  A mismatch between the expected mandatory flag and the actual parameter settings.
  Custom code or interface definitions that incorrectly set or interpret the mandatory indicator.
  Data inconsistencies in the workflow container or interface parameters.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Parameter Configuration:
  
  Review the workflow or interface definition where the parameter is defined.
  Verify the mandatory indicator setting for the parameter in question.
  Ensure that the mandatory flag is set correctly (usually a boolean or specific indicator value).
  
  
  
  Correct the Mandatory Indicator:
  
  If the indicator is set incorrectly, update it to the correct value.
  For example, in workflow container elements or interface parameters, ensure that the "Mandatory" checkbox or flag is set properly.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If there is custom code manipulating the parameters or their metadata, check that it correctly handles the mandatory indicator.
  Fix any logic that sets invalid values.
  
  
  
  Check Integration Scenarios:
  
  In Process Integration (PI) or Process Orchestration (PO), verify the message mapping and interface definitions.
  Ensure that the mandatory indicators in the message types and operation mappings are consistent.
  
  
  
  Test the Workflow or Integration:
  
  After corrections, test the workflow or integration scenario to confirm that the error no longer occurs.
