  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_DISPRO001 &1 cannot be used here; choose a different function
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the SAP system when you try to use a specific function or function module (represented by &1 in the message) in a context or transaction where it is not allowed or supported. The system restricts certain functions to specific processes or screens, and using them outside their intended scope triggers this error.
  In many cases, this message appears in the context of SAP Workflow (WRF) or Dispute Management (DISPRO) scenarios, where certain workflow functions or dispute processing functions are restricted to particular steps or statuses.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Attempting to use a workflow function in a transaction or step where it is not valid.
  Using a dispute management function in a process step that does not support it.
  Calling a function module or action that is not assigned or allowed in the current workflow or process context.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Function Usage Context:
  
  Verify where the function &1 (the actual function name will be shown in the real message) is allowed to be used.
  Consult the SAP documentation or configuration for the workflow or dispute process to understand valid functions per step.
  
  
  
  Choose a Different Function:
  
  Use a function that is valid for the current process step or transaction.
  If you are customizing or developing, ensure that the function module or action is assigned correctly in the workflow or dispute management configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow or Dispute Management Configuration:
  
  Check the workflow template or dispute process configuration to ensure that the function is assigned to the correct step.
  Adjust the workflow or dispute process if necessary to include the required function in the appropriate step.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have development access, debug the process to see why the function is being called in an invalid context.
  Check the program or workflow logic that triggers the function call.
