  SAP Error Message: WS_EA010
  Message Text:
  
  Create with reference to &  
  
  1. Cause
  The error message WS_EA010 typically occurs in SAP Workflow when you try to create a workflow instance with reference to another object, but the reference object is either missing, incorrect, or not properly specified.
  
  The placeholder & in the message is replaced by the object type or reference that is expected.
  This message is often triggered when the system expects a valid reference object to create a workflow instance but cannot find or validate it.
  It can also occur if the referenced object is locked, deleted, or the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access it.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the WS_EA010 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Reference Object:
  
  Verify that the reference object you are using to create the workflow instance exists and is valid. For example, if you are creating a workflow with reference to a Purchase Order, ensure the PO number is correct and the PO exists in the system.
  
  
  Verify Object Type:
  
  Confirm that the object type you are referencing is supported for workflow creation. Some object types may not be allowed as references.
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user creating the workflow has the necessary authorizations to access the reference object.
  
  
  Check Lock Status:
  
  Make sure the reference object is not locked or in a status that prevents workflow creation.
  
  
  Review Workflow Configuration:
  
  If the workflow is custom, check the workflow definition and the start conditions to ensure the reference object is correctly defined and passed.
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debugging the workflow start event or the function module that creates the workflow instance can help identify where the reference object is failing.
