  Error Message
  WS174: Document &1 can only be processed in the original system
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to process or change a workflow-related document (such as a workflow task, workflow container object, or workflow log) in a system different from the one where the document was originally created.
  In SAP Workflow, certain objects and documents are system-specific and carry a system identifier. When you attempt to process or manipulate these objects in a different system (for example, in a client copy, a test system, or after a system copy/refresh), the system detects the mismatch and throws this error.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  Trying to restart or reprocess a workflow task in a system other than the original.
  Accessing workflow logs or workflow container objects that were created in a different system.
  System copies or client copies
