  The SAP error message MDC_PROCESS_MSG002 ("No workflow found for process &1") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Master Data Governance (MDG) or similar workflows where a specific process is expected to have an associated workflow, but none is found. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and finding a solution involves several steps.
