Your imported workflows will work fine if you have added the Apps that provide the functions that your workflow calls.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-  I understand that , but I tell you that I’m not using addon , I use only native post function , condition and workflow , so to be more clear I like to know exactly if I use condition , validator , post function (native ) , and I export workflow bundle and import it in another instance , it will work fine , or I have to create more one time my condition , validator and post function .

best regards

It's worth understanding what a post-function is first.  A workflow does not contain a post-function, it points to one.  If you read the raw XML of a workflow and look at a transition, you'll find that the xml says "feed the following parameters to a class called <something>"

When you export and import a workflow, that pointer is carried over, but the code that is being called is not, as it's not part of the workflow, it's a module in the code.

So, my guess is that your production system does not have the code that provides the post-function module that your workflow is calling.  You will need to install the add-on that provides it.
