  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_AT127 - Error checking action &4 (allocation table &2, item &3) ?

    The SAP error message:

    WRF_AT127 Error checking action &4 (allocation table &2, item &3)


    Meaning / Cause

    This error occurs during the processing of a workflow rule or allocation table when SAP tries to check or validate an action defined in the allocation table but encounters an issue. The placeholders:

    • &4 = action name or identifier
    • &2 = allocation table name
    • &3 = item number in the allocation table

    The error typically indicates that the system cannot properly validate or execute the specified action in the allocation table item. This can be caused by:

    • The action referenced in the allocation table does not exist or is incorrectly defined.
    • The allocation table entry is corrupted or incomplete.
    • Missing or incorrect configuration in the workflow or allocation table.
    • Authorization or system inconsistencies preventing the action check.
    • Transport or system copy issues where the allocation table or action definitions are missing or inconsistent.

    Solution / How to Fix

    1. Check the Allocation Table &2:

      • Go to transaction PFAC (Allocation Table Maintenance).
      • Open the allocation table &2.
      • Locate the item number &3.
      • Verify the action &4 assigned to this item.
    2. Verify the Action &4:

      • Check if the action exists in the system.
      • Use transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) or SWO1 (Business Object Builder) to verify the action.
      • Ensure the action is active and correctly configured.
    3. Correct or Recreate the Allocation Table Entry:

      • If the action is incorrect or missing, correct it.
      • If the allocation table entry is corrupted, delete and recreate the item.
    4. Check Authorizations:

      • Ensure the user or system has the necessary authorizations to execute or check the action.
    5. Transport and System Consistency:

      • If this error appeared after a system copy or transport, verify that all related objects (allocation tables, actions, workflows) have been transported correctly.
      • Re-import missing objects if necessary.
    6. Debugging / Logs:

      • Use transaction ST22 to check for dumps related to this error.
      • Use transaction SM21 or SLG1 to check system logs.
      • Debug the workflow or allocation table processing if needed.
