    The SAP message WS803 with the text "Workflow created successfully" is an informational message, not an error. Here's a detailed explanation:


    Message: WS803 - Workflow created successfully

    Cause:

    • This message appears when a workflow has been successfully created in the SAP system.
    • It is generated by the SAP Workflow engine to confirm that the workflow instance was started or created without any issues.

    • Not an error or warning, but a confirmation message.
    • Indicates that the workflow process you initiated or triggered has been successfully instantiated.

    When does it appear?

    • When you start a workflow manually or via a program.
    • When a workflow is triggered automatically by an event or a business process.
    • During testing or development of workflows in transaction codes like SWUS (Start Workflow), SWI1 (Work Item Selection), or when using function modules to start workflows.

    Solution:

      • Check the workflow log (SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ) to see the status of the workflow steps.
      • Verify the workflow definition in SWDD.
      • Check for any errors in subsequent workflow steps or tasks.
