Go to transaction PFTC_INS and hit the create button.

Enter a name and abbreviation etc.

Hit the Workflow Builder button.

On the bottom, right choose the 'Send Mail' step and drag it into your workflow.

Enter some text then hit the green check.

Activate the workflow and test it.

That may mean that your system is not setup for workflow.

Have you been through transaction SWU3? Go there and I think you should hit the automatic customizing button. Its been awhile since I've done this, but I remember getting the same error that you are getting. I will try to back track and find out what you need to do.

Have you tried clicking on the error message?

I don't have any documentation, sorry. I usually just google for workflow tutorials. I'm sure that you've seen the links already.

I remember what I had to do for the prefix number. If you are still getting that error after running automatic customizing, then go back to SWU3. Under 'Workflow Development environment' there is a line 'Prefix numbers ....'. Hit the execute on this line and maintain a prefix number for your system.
