  SAP Error Message:
  WGDS_PROCESS656 – Enter an application for the postprocessing process
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when you try to execute a postprocessing step but have not specified the application (transaction or program) that should be called for the postprocessing. The workflow expects an application to be defined so that it knows which screen or program to launch for the user to perform the required postprocessing task.

  During workflow postprocessing steps.
  When a workflow task requires user interaction via a specific application, but the application is not defined or passed.
