How To Fix WD295 - Deadlines active, without dealing with missed deadlines

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WD - Workflow definition

• Message number: 295

• Message text: Deadlines active, without dealing with missed deadlines

What causes this issue?

One of the three deadline types (latest end, requested end, latest
start) has been activated without defining a recipient for missed
deadline or modeled deadline monitoring.

System Response

If a deadline were missed a runtime, it would not be possible to notify
the appropriate recipient or deal with the missed deadline at all, and
the workflow is set to status <ZH>error</>.

How to fix this error?

In the Workflow Builder, enter a <LS>recipient for missed deadline</>
or an outcome name for modeled deadline monitoring in the step
definition. Any recipient specified in the task definition for the
relevant missed deadline is only notified if nothing is specified in
the step definition.
