  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP Workflow when you try to assign an event as a result event or in a context where only triggering events are allowed, but the event you selected is defined as a triggering event only.

  Triggering Events: Events that start or trigger a workflow.
  Result Events: Events that are outcomes or results of a workflow step.
  
  The system enforces that certain events can only be used as triggering events and not as result events or vice versa.
