Symptoms

When attempting to create a new Business Process (BP) record via a CSV (comma-separated value) template import, the BP record is not created and an error email is received that displays the error noted below.

The following Knowledge Document indicates that this error can occur when there is not an "Active" user for some steps in the workflow. But the workflow setup consists of only two steps, "Creation" and "End", and the creation step Assignee is the administrator user who is "Active".  The BP setup in the project/shell for the Auto Creation tab has the proper workflow setup selected.

CSV Import Failed and Email Notification Received: "Cannot create workflow process" (Doc ID 2344485.1)

In an attempt to resolve the issue a minor change was made to the workflow setup and it was saved. Then the change was reverted and the setup saved again. But the problem still exists after these steps.
