  Error Message
  WZ105 User '&' does not exist
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to reference or validate a user ID that does not exist in the SAP user master records (table USR02). The placeholder '&' in the message is replaced by the actual user ID that the system could not find.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  A user ID was entered incorrectly or misspelled.
  The user ID has not been created or has been deleted in the system.
  The user ID is being referenced in a workflow, authorization check, or user assignment, but it does not exist.
  Integration or interface programs are trying to assign or validate a user that is not present in the system.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Verify the User ID:
  
  Check the user ID mentioned in the error message.
  Go to transaction SU01 and try to display the user.
  If the user does not exist, confirm if it should exist or if there is a typo.
  
  
  
  Create or Correct the User:
  
  If the user should exist, create the user in SU01.
  If the user ID is incorrect in the program or configuration, correct it to the valid user ID.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow or Program Logic:
  
  If the error occurs during workflow processing, check the workflow container or user assignment steps.
  Ensure that the user IDs assigned in the workflow are valid and exist in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations and User Assignments:
  
  Sometimes, the error can occur if a user is referenced in roles, authorizations, or organizational assignments but does not exist.
  Review the relevant configuration or master data.
  
  
  
  Check Interfaces or External Systems:
  
  If the user ID is coming from an external system or interface, verify the data mapping and synchronization.
