• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ173 - Waiting receiver is global ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WZ173 - Waiting receiver is global
  
  
  Cause:
  The error message WZ173 - Waiting receiver is global typically occurs in the context of ALE/IDoc processing or workflow when a waiting receiver (a user or partner expected to respond or act) is defined as a global receiver rather than a specific, unique receiver.
  In SAP workflow or message processing, a waiting receiver is an agent or partner who is expected to perform an action or respond to a message. If this receiver is defined as global, it means the receiver is not uniquely identified (e.g., a user group or a generic partner), which is not allowed in certain contexts where a specific receiver must be assigned.
  This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect configuration of the receiver determination in workflow or ALE partner profiles.
  The system expecting a unique receiver but receiving a global or generic receiver instead.
  Custom code or user exits assigning a global receiver where
