  SAP Error Message:
  WZ290 - ** 290 - 299 reserved for report RSWU_WF_START  **
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears when there is an attempt to use or call a workflow message number in the range 290 to 299, which are reserved internally by SAP for the workflow start report RSWU_WF_START.
  
  The message class WZ is related to SAP Workflow.
  Message numbers 290 to 299 are reserved and should not be used for custom or other purposes.
  If you see this message, it usually means that a workflow or a program is trying to use one of these reserved message numbers incorrectly.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP reserves message numbers 290 to 299 in the message class WZ exclusively for the workflow start report RSWU_WF_START.
  These messages are system-internal and should not be triggered or called manually or by custom code.
  If a custom program or workflow step tries to use these message numbers, SAP throws this error to prevent conflicts.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Workflow Definitions:
  
  Review any custom workflows or ABAP programs that might be calling messages in the WZ message class with numbers between 290 and 299.
  Change the message number to a valid one outside this reserved range.
  
  
  
  Avoid Using Reserved Message Numbers:
  
  Do not use message numbers 290 to 299 in message class WZ for custom messages.
  Use other message numbers that are free and not reserved by SAP.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Start Report Usage:
  
  If you are debugging or analyzing workflows, ensure that the workflow start report RSWU_WF_START is not being called incorrectly or with wrong parameters.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes / Support:
  
  If this error occurs unexpectedly in standard SAP workflows or reports, check for relevant SAP Notes or patches.
