SuiteFlow Error: Failed to Create or Assign a Workflow Instance for Record

User created a Workflow containing a Transform Record action to transform a Customer record into a Vendor record.

When the Customer record is saved the following error is received: Failed to create or assign a workflow instance for record. (Workflow type = 2, Record type = -3, Record key = 1234).

Note: Workflow type and Record key are just sample numbers

Solution

A common cause for this error is because the Workflow is trying to modify fields that are locked by a Bundle.

1. Go to Scripting > Scripted Records and look for the Vendor record
2. Click View
3. Go to the Workflow tab and check the Workflows deployed for the Vendor record
4. Check if any of the Workflows deployed on the Vendor record have fields that belongs to a locked Bundle that are being modified via Set Field Action
5. If yes, Edit the Workflow Settings and set EXECUTE AS ADMIN = True
6. Click Save
