• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP727 - Inconsistency because of IMPORT of scenario/step &1/&2 ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP727 – Inconsistency because of IMPORT of scenario/step &1/&2
  
  Cause:
  The error message WXP727 occurs in SAP Workflow when there is an inconsistency detected during the import of a workflow scenario or step. Specifically, this happens if the system detects that the workflow scenario or step being imported conflicts with existing definitions or data in the system. This inconsistency can arise due to:
  
  Importing a workflow scenario or step that already exists but with different attributes or versions.
  Partial or incomplete import of workflow objects leading to mismatches.
  Changes in the workflow objects outside the import process causing version conflicts.
  Transport or client copy inconsistencies where workflow objects are not properly synchronized.
  
  
  Explanation:
  SAP Workflow scenarios and steps are tightly linked objects. When you import a workflow scenario or step (for example, via transport requests or client copy), the system checks for consistency between the imported objects and the existing ones. If the system finds that the imported scenario or step does not match the existing definitions (e.g., different versions, missing dependencies), it raises this warning/error to prevent inconsistent workflow behavior.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WXP727 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  Verify that all related workflow objects (scenarios, steps, tasks, container elements) are included in the transport.
  Ensure that the transport sequence is correct and complete.
  
  
  
  Re-import Workflow Objects:
  
  Try re-importing the workflow scenario and steps together to maintain consistency.
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to check workflow logs and identify problematic objects.
  
  
  
  Synchronize Workflow Objects:
  
  Use transaction SWU_OBUF to regenerate the workflow buffer.
  Use transaction SWU3 to check and fix workflow customizing inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Delete and Recreate:
  
  If the inconsistency persists, consider deleting the problematic workflow step or scenario and re-importing or recreating it.
  
  
  
  Check for OSS Notes:
  
  Search SAP OSS Notes for any known issues related to WXP727 for your SAP version.
  Apply relevant SAP Notes if available.
  
  
  
  Client Copy Considerations:
  
  If the error occurs after a client copy, ensure that workflow objects are properly transported or re-imported in the target client.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Support Portal for notes related to WXP727.
  Example note: "WXP727 Inconsistency because of IMPORT of scenario/step" (Note number varies by SAP version).
  
  
  
  Workflow Object Dependencies:
  
  Workflow scenarios depend on steps, which depend on tasks and container elements.
  Always transport or import these objects together to avoid inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  WXP727 indicates a mismatch or inconsistency during the import of workflow scenarios or steps. The solution involves ensuring complete and consistent transport/import of all related workflow objects, regenerating workflow buffers, and possibly deleting and re-importing problematic objects. Always verify workflow dependencies and check for SAP Notes for your specific SAP system version.
