What causes this issue?

The process type selected does not belong to the process type class for
error process types. (Class &V2&)

How to fix this error?

If the process type is correct, you should make an entry <&V1&> <&V2&>

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WF111 - Process type & does not belong to the error handler class ?

  The SAP error message:
  WF111 Process type & does not belong to the error handler class
  typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow (WF) processing.
  
  Cause
  This error indicates that the workflow process type you are trying to use or reference is not assigned to the error handler class defined in the workflow configuration. In SAP Workflow, each process type can be linked to an error handling class that manages exceptions and errors during workflow execution.
  If the process type is not assigned to the error handler class, the system cannot handle errors properly, and thus raises this message.
  
  Explanation
  
  Process Type: A workflow template or definition that describes the sequence of steps.
  Error Handler Class: A class (ABAP class) that implements error handling methods for workflows.
  The system expects that the process type you are working with is linked to an error handler class to manage exceptions.
  If this link is missing or incorrect, the system throws WF111.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Error Handler Class Assignment:
  
  Go to transaction SWU3 (Workflow Customizing).
  Navigate to the error handling configuration.
  Verify which error handler class is assigned to the process type in question.
  
  
  
  Assign the Process Type to the Correct Error Handler Class:
  
  Use transaction SWI2_FREQ or SWI1 to check the process type.
  Use transaction SWI2_ERR to analyze error handling.
  If necessary, assign or reassign the process type to the correct error handler class via customizing or by updating the workflow container or configuration.
  
  
  
  Check the Implementation of the Error Handler Class:
  
  The error handler class should implement the interface IF_WORKFLOW_ERROR_HANDLER.
  Ensure the class is active and properly implemented.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Workflow Configuration:
  
  In some cases, you may need to adjust the workflow template or the workflow customizing to ensure the process type is linked to the error handler class.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you make changes in a development system, ensure they are transported to quality and production systems.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This error is common when custom workflows or custom error handler classes are introduced but not properly linked.
  The error handler class is responsible for handling runtime errors in workflows, such as system failures or unexpected conditions.
  SAP standard workflows usually have standard error handler classes assigned.
  For custom workflows, developers must ensure proper assignment.
