  Error Message
  WFRE_CON205: No entry found in table FRE_SEND_OPTION
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when the system tries to determine the sending options for a workflow container element, but it cannot find the corresponding entry in the table FRE_SEND_OPTION.
  
  The table FRE_SEND_OPTION stores the sending options for container elements in workflows, such as how data is sent or passed between workflow steps.
  When a workflow step or container element is configured to send data, SAP looks up this table to find the sending method.
  If the entry is missing or not maintained for the particular container element or data type, the system throws this error.
  
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  The workflow container element is newly created but the sending options are not maintained.
  Custom container elements or data types are used without proper configuration.
  Transport or system copy issues where FRE_SEND_OPTION entries are missing or inconsistent.
  Incomplete or incorrect workflow configuration.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you need to maintain the sending options for the relevant container element in the FRE_SEND_OPTION table.
  Steps to fix:
  
  
  Identify the container element causing the error:
  
  Check the workflow step or container element mentioned in the error context.
  Identify the container element name and data type.
  
  
  
  Maintain sending options:
  
  Use transaction SWO1 (Workflow Object Builder).
  Open the relevant workflow object.
  Navigate to the container tab.
  Select the container element causing the issue.
  Choose Send Options (or similar option) to maintain how the data should be sent.
  Save the settings.
  
  
  
  Alternatively, use transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder):
  
  Open the workflow.
  Go to the step where the error occurs.
  Check the container element and its sending options.
  Maintain or correct the sending options.
  
  
  
  Direct table maintenance (not recommended unless you know what you are doing):
  
  The table FRE_SEND_OPTION is a customizing table and usually maintained via the workflow tools.
  If necessary, you can check entries via SE16/SE16N.
  But always prefer using SAP standard tools to maintain workflow container sending options.
  
  
  
  Transport and system consistency:
  
  If the error occurs after a transport or system copy, verify that the workflow customizing and FRE_SEND_OPTION entries are transported correctly.
  Re-import or reconfigure if necessary.
