• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ200 - *** 200 - 299 reserved for FGroup SWU5 *** ?

  The SAP error message:
  WZ200 *** 200 - 299 reserved for FGroup SWU5 ***
  Explanation / Cause:
  
  This message is an internal SAP system message related to the SAP Workflow component.
  The message code range 200 - 299 is reserved for a specific function group called SWU5.
  The message WZ200 is a placeholder or informational message indicating that message numbers in the range 200 to 299 are reserved and should not be used or modified by users or custom developments.
  It typically appears when there is an attempt to access or call a message number in this reserved range outside the intended SAP standard context.
  This message is not an error caused by user data or configuration but rather a system safeguard to prevent misuse of reserved message numbers.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When a custom program or user tries to call or display a message with a number between 200 and 299 in the message class WZ (or related to workflow messages).
  When debugging or analyzing workflow-related issues, you might see this message if the system tries to access these reserved messages.
  
  Solution:
  
  Do not use message numbers in the range 200-299 in the message class WZ or related workflow message classes.
  If you are developing custom workflow or related programs, use message numbers outside this reserved range.
  If this message appears unexpectedly during standard SAP workflow processing, it might indicate a system inconsistency or a bug. In such cases:
  
  Check for OSS notes related to workflow message handling.
  Ensure your SAP system is up to date with the latest support packages.
  Contact SAP Support if the issue persists and cannot be resolved by standard troubleshooting.
