  Error Message
  WXP276: Select a &1 that is different from &2
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when you are trying to select or assign the same object for two different roles or parameters where the system expects them to be different.
  For example, in a workflow step or container, you might have two different organizational objects (such as agents, users, or organizational units) that must be distinct, but the same object has been assigned to both. The system enforces this to avoid logical conflicts or circular references in the workflow processing.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During workflow task assignment or agent determination.
  When defining or changing workflow container elements or binding.
  When selecting organizational objects (users, positions, organizational units) in workflow steps or rules.
  When the workflow logic requires two different agents or organizational objects, but the same one is selected for both.
  
  
  Solution
  
  Select different objects: Ensure that the two objects (e.g., agents, organizational units, positions) referenced by the placeholders &1 and &2 are different.
  Check workflow container bindings: Review the container elements and their bindings in the workflow step or task to ensure that the same object is not assigned to both parameters.
  Review agent assignment rules: If the error occurs during agent determination, check the rules or methods that assign agents to ensure they do not return the same object for different roles.
  Adjust workflow logic: If the workflow design requires two different objects, modify the logic or input to comply with this requirement.
  
  
  Example
  If the message says:
  Select a Position that is different from Position
  It means you have assigned the same position to two different parameters where two distinct positions are required.
