  WS_MASS045 – For technical reasons detail information are shown as external objects
  
  
  Cause:
  This error message typically occurs in SAP Workflow or Mass Processing scenarios when the system cannot display detailed error information directly within the SAP GUI or standard logs. Instead, the detailed error information is stored or referenced as external objects (such as attachments, external files, or links to external systems). This usually happens due to:
  
  Technical limitations in displaying complex or large error details inline.
  The error details are generated by external systems or interfaces and are linked rather than embedded.
  The workflow or mass processing step encountered an issue that is logged externally for performance or security reasons.
  The system is configured to offload detailed logs to external storage or document management systems.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check External Objects or Attachments:
  
  Look for attachments or external links in the workflow log or error message details.
  Use transaction codes like SBWP (SAP Business Workplace) or workflow logs
