• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1R351 - RFC destination &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message 1R351 indicates that the specified RFC (Remote Function Call) destination does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs when an application or process attempts to connect to another SAP system or external system using an RFC destination that has not been defined or has been incorrectly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent RFC Destination: The specified RFC destination name is not defined in the SAP system.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the RFC destination name when it is being called.
  Transport Issues: The RFC destination may not have been transported correctly from one system to another (e.g., from development to production).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the system configuration or network settings may have affected the availability of the RFC destination.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Look for the specified RFC destination in the list. If it does not exist, you will need to create it.

  Test the RFC Connection:
  
  After creating or modifying the RFC destination, use the "Test Connection" feature in SM59 to verify that the connection works correctly.
  
  
  
  Check for Typographical Errors:

  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or process attempting to access the RFC destination has the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the RFC destination was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport requests to ensure they were imported correctly.
