  Error Message
  WFEA006: Latest end: Recipient for missed deadline cannot be determined
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when the system tries to handle a missed deadline (i.e., a deadline that has expired without the expected action being taken), but it cannot determine the recipient (user or organizational unit) who should be notified or who should take over the task after the deadline has passed.
  In other words, the workflow definition includes a deadline monitoring step, but the recipient for the deadline event (e.g., escalation or notification) is not properly defined or cannot be resolved at runtime.
  Common causes include:
  
  The deadline recipient rule or agent assignment is missing or incorrectly configured.
  The organizational assignment or user determination logic for the deadline recipient is incomplete or invalid.
  The workflow container element used to determine the recipient is empty
