• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_EA012 - Requirement &1 is not met ?

  The SAP error message:
  WS_EA012 Requirement &1 is not met
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when a specific requirement defined in the workflow is not fulfilled. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the name of the requirement that was checked and found to be false or not met.
  In SAP Workflow, requirements are conditions or rules that must be true for a workflow step to be executed or for a particular action to be allowed. If the requirement evaluates to false, the system raises this error.
  Common causes include:
  
  The workflow step has a requirement that checks certain conditions (e.g., user authorization, data status, or business rules), and these conditions are not satisfied.
  The requirement logic might be incorrect or incomplete.
  The data or context used in the requirement check is missing or invalid.
  The user or agent does not have the necessary permissions or roles.
  
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  During workflow execution, when the system evaluates the requirement for a workflow step.
  In transaction SWI1 (Work Item Selection) or SWDD (Workflow Builder) when testing or running workflows.
  When triggering workflow tasks or events that have requirements.
  
  
  How to analyze and solve:
  
  
  Identify the requirement name:
  
  The error message will show the requirement name in place of &1.
  Open the workflow in transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder).
  Navigate to the step where the error occurs.
  Check the Requirements tab of the step to find the requirement with the given name.
  
  
  
  Check the requirement code:
  
  Requirements are implemented as function modules or methods.
  In SWDD, double-click the requirement to see the code or logic.
  Analyze the logic to understand why it might return false.
  Check the input parameters and the data context used in the requirement.
  
  
  
  Test the requirement independently:
  
  You can test the requirement function module in SE37 with the same input parameters.
  Verify if it returns the expected result.
  
  
  
  Check the data and context:
  
  Ensure that the workflow container has the correct data.
  Verify that the agents or users involved have the necessary authorizations.
  Check if any prerequisite data or status is missing.
  
  
  
  Adjust or fix the requirement:
  
  If the requirement logic is incorrect, correct the code.
  If the data is missing, ensure the workflow container is properly filled.
  If authorization is the issue, assign the correct roles or change the requirement logic.
  
  
  
  Re-test the workflow:
  
  After fixing, test the workflow again to confirm the error is resolved.
