What is receiver instance in SAP BC-BMT-WFM - SAP Business Workflow?

SAP Term: receiver instance

• Component: BC-BMT-WFM

• Component Name: SAP Business Workflow

• Description: An instance for example, a work item that is continued or terminated when an event of an object occurs. The receiver instance is defined by the potential event receiver for an instance linkage at runtime. When the event manager creates the linkage, it writes the receiver instance into the event container and passes it to the receiver function module declared for the instance linkage for further processing. In a workflow, instance linkages are defined by the workflow system for activities that refer to a task with a terminating event and for wait steps. The work item ID of the wait step or activity work item is used as the receiver instance. The instance linkage is defined at workflow runtime.

• Key Concepts: 
  A receiver instance is a type of workflow instance in SAP Business Workflow. It is used to store the data associated with a workflow task, such as the task description, the user responsible for completing the task, and any other relevant information. The receiver instance is created when a workflow task is triggered and is destroyed when the task is completed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Receiver instances are used to store data associated with a workflow task. When a workflow task is triggered, a receiver instance is created and the data associated with the task is stored in it. The receiver instance can then be used to access the data associated with the task, such as the task description, user responsible for completing the task, and any other relevant information. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a workflow task, it is important to ensure that all relevant data is stored in the receiver instance. This will ensure that all necessary information is available when the task needs to be completed. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all receiver instances are destroyed once the task has been completed. This will help keep your system organized and free of unnecessary clutter.
