  Error Message
  WA702 No (active) event receivers exist
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in the context of Workflow in SAP. It indicates that the system could not find any active event receivers for a particular event that was triggered.
  
  Event receivers are objects (such as workflows, function modules, or programs) that are registered to listen for and respond to specific events.
  When an event is raised (triggered), SAP looks for active event receivers to handle that event.
  If no active event receivers are found, the system issues this error.
  
  Common reasons include:
  
  No workflow or event handler has been assigned or activated for the event.
  The event receiver (e.g., workflow template) is inactive or deleted.
  The event is not properly registered in the system.
  The event receiver is filtered out due to conditions or user authorizations.
  The event is triggered in a system/client where no receivers are configured.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you need to ensure that there are active event receivers for the event in question:
  
  
  Check Event Registration:
  
  Use transaction SWETYPV (Event Linkage) to check if the event is linked to any receiver object.
  Verify that the event is correctly linked to the workflow or function module.
  
  
  
  Activate Event Receivers:
  
  Go to transaction SWETYPV and check the event linkage.
  Make sure the workflow or event receiver is active.
  If the workflow is inactive, activate it in SWDD (Workflow Builder).
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Activation:
  
  Use transaction SWDD to open the workflow template.
  Ensure the workflow is active and released.
  
  
  
  Check Event Binding:
  
  Verify that the event is bound to the correct object type and that the event receiver is valid for the object instance.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Sometimes, event receivers are filtered out due to missing authorizations.
  Ensure the user triggering the event has the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Client and System Settings:
  
  Make sure the event receivers are configured in the client where the event is triggered.
  
  
  
  Re-register Event Receivers:
  
  If necessary, unregister and re-register the event receivers.
