  Cause:
  The error message WXPB213 typically occurs in SAP Workflow or Business Workplace (SBWP) when the system detects that certain input values or parameters previously entered by the user are no longer valid or have been lost during processing. This can happen due to:

  If working in a web-based UI (e.g., SAP Fiori or Web Dynpro), ensure stable network connectivity.
