• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_PUSH_NOTIF1051 - Actions can be defined for user decision steps only ?

  The SAP error message SWF_PUSH_NOTIF1051 indicates that actions can only be defined for user decision steps in a workflow. This error typically arises when you attempt to define or trigger actions in a workflow step that is not a user decision step.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Step Type: The workflow step you are trying to define actions for is not a user decision step. Actions are only applicable to steps where user input is required.
  Workflow Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the workflow definition where actions are incorrectly assigned to non-user decision steps.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Workflow Definition:
  
  Open the workflow definition in the SAP Workflow Builder (transaction code SWDD).
  Verify that the step you are trying to define actions for is indeed a user decision step. User decision steps are typically represented by the "User Decision" task type.
  
  
  
  Modify Step Type:
  
  If the step is not a user decision step and you need it to be, consider changing the step type to a user decision step if that aligns with your workflow requirements.
  
  
  
  Remove Actions from Non-User Decision Steps:
  
  If the step is correctly defined as a non-user decision step, remove any actions that have been incorrectly assigned to it.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the workflow to ensure that it functions as expected without triggering the error.
