  SAP Error Message:
  
  WY090 - Error inserting table &
  
  Cause:
  The error message WY090 typically occurs during SAP Workflow processing when the system tries to insert data into a database table but fails. The placeholder "&" in the message is replaced by the actual table name at runtime.
  Common causes include:
  
  Database constraints violation: For example, primary key or unique key violation, foreign key constraint failure.
  Data inconsistency or invalid data: The data being inserted does not comply with the table's data types or length restrictions.
  Authorization issues: The user or process does not have the necessary authorization to insert data into the table.
  Locking or database issues: The table or record is locked, or there is a database-level problem.
  Workflow container or data mapping errors: Incorrect or missing data in the workflow container that is used to populate the table.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WY090 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the exact table name:
  
  The error message will specify which table insertion failed. Identify this table.
  
  
  Analyze the data being inserted:  
  
  Use debugging or workflow logs to check the data values.
  Verify that the data complies with the table's structure (data types, length, mandatory fields).
  
  
  
  Check database constraints:  
  
  Look for primary key or unique key conflicts.
  Check foreign key relationships to ensure referenced data exists.
  
  
  
  Check authorizations:  
  
  Ensure the user or background job running the workflow has the necessary authorizations to insert into the table.
  
  
  
  Check for locks or database issues:  
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for locks.
  Check database logs or basis team for any database errors.
  
  
  
  Review workflow container and mapping:  
  
  Verify that the workflow container elements used to populate the table are correctly filled.
  Correct any mapping or data conversion errors.
  
  
  
  Debug the workflow:  
  
  Use transaction SWUS or SWI1 to trace the workflow.
  Debug the workflow step where the insertion happens to identify the exact cause.
