  The SAP error message RSMPC014 indicates that there is a mandatory process missing in a process chain. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a process chain is being executed, and it cannot find a required process that is defined as mandatory.
  Cause:
  The error message RSMPC014 is triggered when:
  
  A mandatory process (like a data load, data transfer, or any other process) is not defined in the process chain.
  The process chain is incorrectly configured, or the required process has been deleted or is inactive.
  There may be a mismatch in the process chain configuration, such as incorrect dependencies or sequencing of processes.

  Review Process Dependencies:
  
  Check if there are any dependencies that are not met. Ensure that all preceding processes are completed successfully before the mandatory process is executed.
  
  
  
  Check for Deactivated Processes:
  
  If a process has been deactivated, reactivate it or replace it with an active equivalent.
  
  
  
  Test the Process Chain:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the process chain to ensure that it runs without errors.
