  The SAP error message "START_MESSAGES067 Process Step does not exist" typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow or when dealing with process chains in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error indicates that the system is trying to execute a process step that has not been defined or is not available in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Process Step Definition: The process step that the workflow or process chain is trying to call has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the workflow or process chain that references a non-existent step.
  Transport Issues: If the process step was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included or may not have been activated properly.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Process Step Definition:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SWDD for workflows or RSCHEMAS for process chains) and verify that the process step exists and is correctly defined.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a backup.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow/Process Chain Configuration:
