Cause

The customer had migrated the workflow and the following error was seen in the log file.

PrcExec Create 4 0 2005-03-02 17:23:45 Instantiating process definition 'RCRM Message Popup to SR Owner Engineer Dispatched'.
ObjMgrLog Error 1 0 2005-03-02 17:23:45 (state.cpp (1877)) SBL-BPR-00216: The workitem supplied, '

Solution

The root cause for this particular issue was that the workflow process had a space or white space in the Default String value for the Object Id process property. A white space is considered as an invalid character. The default string is used to initialize the property runtime value BEFORE the passed-in value is used to overwrite it. The Workflow Engine will complain if the default value is invalid

After clearing any white spaces from any workflows' "Object Id" Process Property's Default String, the workflow worked fine.
