How To Fix WA454 - Receiver function module & can only be used for BOR objects

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WA - Messages from Workflow Event Manager

• Message number: 454

• Message text: Receiver function module & can only be used for BOR objects

What causes this issue?

You wanted to enter a
<DS:GLOS.3526B12EAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>receiver function module</>
whose interface is oriented to BOR objects. Hoewever, the event is not
triggered by a BOR object. Using the function module would therefore
cause loss of information. So this function module cannot be entered
for the chosen event.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WA454 - Receiver function module & can only be used for BOR objects ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WA454 Receiver function module & can only be used for BOR objects
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a receiver function module is called or assigned in a context where it is expected to be used only for BOR (Business Object Repository) objects, but the object in question is not a BOR object.
  
  BOR objects are SAP business objects defined in the Business Object Repository.
  Receiver function modules are designed to handle events or methods related to these BOR objects.
  If you try to use a receiver function module for an object that is not registered or defined as a BOR object, the system raises this error.
  
  
  When does this typically happen?
  
  When working with Workflow or Event Handling in SAP.
  When assigning or calling a receiver function module for an event that is not linked to a BOR object.
  When customizing or developing workflows, and the receiver FM is incorrectly assigned.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the object type:
  
  Verify that the object you are working with is indeed a BOR object.
  Use transaction SWO1 to check if the object exists in the Business Object Repository.
  
  
  
  Correct the receiver function module assignment:
  
  Ensure that the receiver function module is assigned only to BOR objects.
  If you are trying to handle events for non-BOR objects, use appropriate function modules or methods that are designed for those objects.
  
  
  
  Use the correct event handling mechanism:
  
  For non-BOR objects, you might need to use different event handling or function modules that do not require BOR registration.
  
  
  
  Adjust workflow or event configuration:
  
  In workflow builder (transaction SWDD), check the event linkage and receiver FM assignment.
  Make sure the event is linked to a BOR object and the receiver FM corresponds to that object.
  
  
  
  If custom development is involved:
  
  Review the code or configuration where the receiver FM is called.
  Modify the code to ensure it only calls receiver FMs for BOR objects.

  BOR (Business Object Repository): Central repository for business objects in SAP, used extensively in workflows and event handling.
  Transaction SWO1: To display and maintain BOR objects.
  Workflow Builder (SWDD): For designing workflows and linking events to BOR objects.
  Event Handling in SAP: Events are often linked to BOR objects, and receiver function modules handle these events.
  Function Modules: Receiver function modules are special FMs designed to process events for BOR objects.
