  The SAP error message SWF_RUN558, which states "Object of event trigger not found," typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow. This error indicates that the workflow is trying to trigger an event for an object that does not exist or cannot be found in the system. Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Missing Object: The object that the workflow is trying to reference may have been deleted or does not exist in the system.
  Incorrect Object Key: The key or identifier used to reference the object may be incorrect or malformed.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify Object Existence: Check if the object (e.g., a business document or instance) that the workflow is trying to access actually exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes relevant to the object type.
