  The SAP error message SMT_CONFIG002: Mapping step &1 does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or SAP Data Services when there is an issue with the configuration of the data replication or transformation process. This error indicates that the system is trying to reference a mapping step that has not been defined or is not available in the configuration.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Mapping Step: The specified mapping step (indicated by &1) has not been created or is not active in the configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data replication or transformation settings, leading to the system looking for a non-existent mapping step.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another, the mapping step may not have been included in the transport request.
