• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSD_MESSAGE245 - Enter a screen number for Secondary Criteria ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSD_MESSAGE245 Enter a screen number for Secondary Criteria
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when you are defining or maintaining a Secondary Criteria for a workflow step or container element, and the system expects you to specify a screen number but it is missing or not entered correctly.
  In SAP Workflow, Secondary Criteria are used to further refine the selection of agents or workflow steps based on additional conditions. When defining these criteria, you often need to specify a screen number that corresponds to a particular selection screen or dialog where the criteria are entered or maintained.
  If the screen number is not provided, the system cannot proceed and throws this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the required screen number in the field for Secondary Criteria.  
  
  This is typically done in the workflow builder or when maintaining the workflow step.
  The screen number corresponds to the selection screen or dialog that is linked to the secondary criteria.
  
  
  
  Check the workflow step or container element configuration where the secondary criteria is defined:
  
  Go to the workflow builder (transaction SWDD).
  Open the relevant workflow step.
  Navigate to the Agent Assignment or Secondary Criteria tab.
  Ensure that the screen number field is filled correctly.
  
  
  
  If you are unsure about the correct screen number:
  
  Consult the workflow documentation or the developer who created the workflow.
  Check standard SAP workflows or similar workflows for reference.
  Use transaction SE41 or SE51 to look up screen numbers related to the workflow or application component.
  
  
  
  If the screen number is dynamically determined or comes from a custom development, verify the coding or configuration that sets this value.
