3032862 - SMS Workflow Fails With Reason: Maintain The Mandatory Contact Number For Recipients

Symptom

SMS workflow fails with reason: "Maintain the mandatory contact number for recipients".

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a workflow rule to send SMS from a ticket.
  2. Workflow rule is triggered but fails with reason: "Maintain the mandatory contact number for recipients".

Cause

Recipient of the workflow (Business Partner) does not have Mobile Number maintained. Workflow relies on Mobile Number field for a Business Partner.

Resolution

Maintain Mobile Number for Business Partner (recipient) in question for the workflow to be executed successfully.
