• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 2L431 - Target system (&2) of destination &1 does not match LIS definition (&3) ?

  The SAP error message 2L431 indicates that there is a mismatch between the target system defined in the destination and the LIS (Logistics Information System) definition. This error typically occurs when you are trying to extract data from a source system to a target system, and the configurations do not align.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Target System: The target system specified in the destination does not match the expected target system defined in the LIS configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: The LIS settings may not be correctly configured to point to the right target system.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies in the settings.
  Data Source Issues: The data source being used may not be correctly set up or may not correspond to the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 and check the configuration of the RFC destination (&1). Ensure that the target system (&2) is correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Verify LIS Settings:
  
  Use transaction LBW0 to check the LIS settings. Ensure that the target system defined in the LIS matches the one in the RFC destination.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Source:
  
  If you are using a specific data source, ensure that it is correctly configured to point to the right target system. You can check this in the data source settings.
  
  
  
  Transport Consistency:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary objects and configurations were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport or adjust settings manually.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific LIS setup you are using, as there may be additional configuration steps required.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test to ensure that the data extraction or reporting works as expected without triggering the error.
