• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP673 - Creation of allocation table cancelled ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP673 - Creation of allocation table cancelled
  
  Cause:
  The error message WXP673 typically occurs during the execution of a workflow or a process that involves the creation of an allocation table (often related to workflow container or task allocation). The message indicates that the system has cancelled the creation of the allocation table due to some inconsistency or missing data.
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or incorrect organizational data: The allocation table depends on organizational assignments (e.g., positions, users, roles). If these are missing or incorrectly maintained, the allocation table cannot be created.
  Incorrect or incomplete workflow configuration: The workflow step or task that requires the allocation table might be incorrectly configured.
  Authorization issues: The user or system might lack the necessary authorizations to create or access the allocation table.
  Technical issues: Problems in the underlying tables or database inconsistencies.
  Custom code or enhancements: If custom code is involved in the allocation process, errors or exceptions in the code can cause cancellation.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WXP673 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Organizational Data:
  
  Verify that the organizational assignments (positions, jobs, users) related to the workflow step are correctly maintained.
  Use transaction codes like PPOME or PO13 to check organizational management data.
  Ensure that the users or agents assigned to the workflow step exist and are active.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow Configuration:
  
  Use transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) to check the workflow definition.
  Verify the step/task that triggers the allocation table creation.
  Check the container elements and ensure that all required data is passed correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the workflow or allocation has the necessary authorizations.
  Use transaction SU53 after the error occurs to check for missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check System Logs and Traces:
  
  Use transaction ST22 to check for any short dumps related to the error.
  Use SM21 for system logs.
  Use SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to analyze workflow logs and errors.
  
  
  
  Debug or Analyze Custom Code:
  
  If custom code or user exits are involved in the allocation process, debug or review the code for errors.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Reset Allocation Table:
  
  Sometimes, deleting and recreating the allocation table or restarting the workflow can help.
  Use transaction SWI5 or SWI6 to manage workflow tasks.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes on the SAP Support Portal using the error message or workflow component.
  Apply any recommended patches or corrections.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
