Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_IV279 - Function is not permitted according to parameter ?

  The SAP error message WZRE_IV279: Function is not permitted according to parameter typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Business Workplace (SBWP) when a user tries to perform a function or action that is restricted by system parameters or configuration settings.
  
  Cause
  
  The error indicates that the function or action the user is trying to execute is not allowed based on the current system or user-specific parameters.
  This restriction is often controlled by authorization objects, user parameters, or workflow/customizing settings.
  For example, in SAP Business Workplace or workflow inbox, certain functions like forwarding, deleting, or processing workflow tasks might be disabled for the user or client due to parameter settings.
  It can also occur if the system parameter controlling the function is set to disallow the action, or if the user lacks the necessary authorization.
  
  
  Common Scenarios
  
  Trying to forward or reassign a workflow task when forwarding is disabled.
  Attempting to delete or change a workflow item when deletion is not permitted.
  Performing a function in the SAP Business Workplace that is restricted by system parameters.
  Workflow customizing settings that restrict certain functions for specific user roles or organizational units.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the function.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error to check for missing authorizations.
  Ensure the user has the correct roles and authorizations assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow or Business Workplace Parameters:
  
  Check the customizing settings for workflow functions in transaction SWF5 or SWU3.
  Review the parameters controlling allowed functions in the workflow or Business Workplace.
  For example, check if forwarding or deletion of workflow tasks is enabled.
  
  
  
  Check User Parameters:
  
  Some functions may be controlled by user parameters (e.g., in SU01 or SU3).
  Verify if any user-specific parameters restrict the function.
  
  
  
  System Parameter Settings:
  
  Some system-wide parameters might restrict certain functions.
  Check with your Basis or system administrator if any system parameters are set to restrict the function.
  
  
  
  Adjust Workflow Customizing:
  
  If the function is disabled in workflow customizing, adjust the settings to permit the function.
  For example, in workflow definition or task configuration, enable the function if business requirements allow.
