  The SAP error message MDG_VALUE_MAPPING050 typically indicates that a Global Data Type (GDT) is not found for a specified proxy element in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG). This error often arises during data mapping or transformation processes where the system is unable to locate the necessary GDT for a given proxy element.
  Cause:
  
  Missing GDT: The specified GDT may not exist in the system or may not be properly defined.
