• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_EXT_POST002 - Container structure &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  WZRE_EXT_POST002: Container structure &1 does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or reference a container structure (a data structure used in workflow or other SAP components) that has not been defined or does not exist in the current context. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the name of the container structure that the system cannot find.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  A workflow container structure is missing or incorrectly named.
  A custom workflow or enhancement is trying to access a container structure that was not created or was deleted.
  Transport or system inconsistencies where the container structure was not transported properly.
  Incorrect or incomplete configuration in workflow or related objects.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Container Structure Name:
  
  Verify the exact name of the container structure referenced in the error message.
  Ensure that the container structure exists in the system (transaction SWO1 for workflow objects).
  
  
  
  Verify Workflow Object and Container:
  
  Go to transaction SWO1 (Workflow Object Builder).
  Enter the workflow object name and check if the container structure exists.
  If missing, recreate or import the container structure.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Definitions:
  
  In transaction PFTC (Task Maintenance) or SWDD (Workflow Builder), check the workflow or task that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the container elements and structures are correctly defined and consistent.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If this error occurs after a transport, verify that the transport included the container structure.
  Re-import or re-transport the missing container structure if necessary.
  
  
  
  Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If custom code or enhancements are involved, check the code for references to the container structure.
  Make sure the container structure is created or passed correctly before usage.
