If you have a "built in" or custom approval workflow setup for your document library. The workflow runs correctly, however sometimes you look at the workflow status, you may receive an error after the task has been approved and completed such as,
Event Type: Error User ID: System Account Description: An error has occurred in [your workflow name].
Resolution: There is a section "Post-completion Workflow Activities", where you can check "Update the approval status (use this workflow to control content approval)". If you check this option, and you do NOT have content approval enabled on the library level, you get the system account error message. If you do not check it, everything works fine.
This error occurs with SP Designer workflows as well. Only there is no place to set this value rendering SP Designer workflows useless. They all terminate!
