• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1S111 - SSF error: RFC destination not known (not in table RFCDES) ?

  The SAP error message 1S111 SSF error: RFC destination not known (not in table RFCDES) indicates that the system is trying to use a Remote Function Call (RFC) destination that is not defined in the RFC destination table (RFCDES). This typically occurs when the system is attempting to perform a function that requires communication with another SAP system or an external system, but it cannot find the necessary configuration for the RFC destination.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Destination: The specified RFC destination does not exist in the RFCDES table.
  Incorrect Configuration: The RFC destination may be incorrectly configured or misspelled.
  Transport Issues: If the RFC destination was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Verify if the required RFC destination is listed. If it is not, you will need to create it.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify RFC Destination:
  
  If the RFC destination is missing, create a new one by clicking on the "Create" button.
  Fill in the necessary details such as the destination name, connection type (e.g., T for TCP/IP), and the target system's details.
  If it exists but is misconfigured, select it and modify the settings as needed.
  
  
  
  Test the RFC Connection:
  
  After creating or modifying the RFC destination, use the "Test Connection" button in SM59 to ensure that the connection is working properly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the RFC destination was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for guidance.
