  The SAP error message UCUS0061 indicates that a specific workflow variant does not exist for the task you are trying to execute. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Business Workflow when a workflow task is called, but the corresponding variant is not defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Workflow Variant: The specified workflow variant for the task is not created or has been deleted.
  Incorrect Task or Variant Name: There may be a typo or incorrect reference to the task or variant in the workflow definition.
