  The SAP error message MDM_CLF_LEAN002: Classification context not bound; no leading object found typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Management (MDM) when there is an issue with the classification context not being properly linked to a leading object. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to classify a product or material that does not have the necessary context or when the classification data is not correctly set up.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Classification Context: The classification context that is supposed to be linked to the object (like a material or product) is not defined or is missing.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for classification in the MDM system may not be set up correctly.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity, such as missing or incorrect entries in the classification tables.
  Object Not Found: The leading object (e.g., material or product) that should be classified is not found in the system or is not properly defined.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Classification Context:

  Verify Object Existence:
  
  Check if the leading object (e.g., material or product) exists in the system. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or ensure that it is properly imported into the MDM system.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings for classification in the MDM system. Ensure that all necessary settings are correctly configured and that there are no discrepancies.
