• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ716 - Task & requires terminating events ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WZ716 - Task & requires terminating events
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when a workflow task is defined without any terminating event(s). In SAP Workflow, each task must have at least one terminating event that signals the completion of the task. Without a terminating event, the system cannot determine when the task is finished, which leads to this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Task: A unit of work in a workflow that requires user interaction or system processing.
  Terminating Event: An event that indicates the completion or termination of a task. It is used by the workflow engine to know when to proceed to the next step.
  
  If a task does not have any terminating event assigned, the workflow engine cannot proceed because it does not know when the task is completed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign Terminating Events to the Task:
  
  Go to the Workflow Builder (transaction SWDD).
  Open the workflow containing the task.
  Navigate to the task in question.
  Check the task
