Hi,

Check the container for that element and see the data type of the element.

If the data type of the element is different from the entered values it will give an error.

Hi.

With help of some technical staff in our company I did manage to find out what was wrong. I am posting it hear so anyone else having this kind of problem in the future can find out of it self. 

The reason for not starting this workflow is as follow:

The workflow is writing to the table SWWWIHEAD. Some time’s the workflow is writing to a row/entry in the table that is all ready written. Therefore the system is returning an error message. This can be solved as follow:

Go to transaction SM56, where it is possible to reset the buffer.

The following field have to be filled:

Client <relevant client>

Object SWW_WIID

Sub-obj

Range 01

Year 0000

Global Reset X

If this does not help, a programmer has to do a manual change in the table.

Cheers!
