This article explains how to reprocess or restart Workflow after error in SAP. For example, a payment batch that is not assigned to any user, agent or approver.
How to restart Workflow after error in SAP
Below is a payment batch in In Approval status that does not have responsible users or approvers assigned to it.
- The Approver field is not selectable and displays zero (0) approvers.
- The payment batch is in In Approval status, but no responsible user or approver can approve it.
First of all, check the rules and responsible users and ensure that the erroneous Workflow already has approvers assigned.
Enter transaction SWPR and execute.
All items in ERROR status are shown. Select the line you want to restart and click Restart Workflow to restart the Workflow after error in SAP.
Items in ERROR status will change to STARTED status. The Workflow has been restarted and the items will disappear from the report.
Check the payment batch again.
- The Approver field is selectable and displays three (3) approvers.
