Error message received from Process Builder

We have recently implemented a new process using process builder. A user has recently contacted me to say that he is having difficulty saving a record since he is receiving an error message. I too, as the Systems Admin, have visibility of this, please see below detail. I have no idea what it's telling me. I have an idea and it maybe to do with the fact that it can't update a field because there is a blank value. Would this not be okay anyway to update? There is a another process on the back of this that references this field and if it is blank, the value is updated as 'Other' 

Any ideas? Tried to contact Salesforce Support but looks like they keep chaning support options to force people to use communities. 


An error occurred at element myRule_5_A1 (FlowRecordUpdate).
The flow failed to access the value for myVariable_current.Ticket_Number__r.Contract__r.Product__c because it hasn't been set or assigned.

This report lists the elements that the flow interview executed. The report is a beta feature.
We welcome your feedback on IdeaExchange.

Hi Scott, thanks for your response, we've managed to resolve this internally. We allowed for another rule criteria which instructs the Process Builder what to do if the field value is NULL.This seems to have done the trick
