• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACRS_MESSAGES002 - Source system not configured for RFC Destination ?

  The SAP error message ACRS_MESSAGES002: Source system not configured for RFC Destination typically indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the Remote Function Call (RFC) destination in your SAP system. This error often arises when trying to connect to a source system that has not been properly set up for communication.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Destination: The RFC destination for the source system is not defined in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The existing RFC destination may be incorrectly configured, leading to connection issues.
  Authorization Issues: The user credentials used for the RFC connection may not have the necessary authorizations.
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity problems between the systems.
  System Not Registered: The source system may not be registered or recognized in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create or Verify RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Check if the RFC destination for the source system exists. If it does not, create a new RFC destination.
  Ensure that the destination type is set correctly (e.g., T for TCP/IP connections).
  Enter the correct connection parameters, including the target host, system number, and client.
  
  
  
  Test the RFC Connection:
  
  After creating or modifying the RFC destination, use the Test Connection feature in SM59 to ensure that the connection is working properly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user credentials used for the RFC connection have the necessary authorizations to access the source system.
  
  
  
  Review Network Configuration:
  
  Check for any firewall or network issues that may be preventing communication between the systems.
  
  
  
  System Registration:
  
  If applicable, ensure that the source system is properly registered in the target system, especially in scenarios involving multiple systems or landscapes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to RFC configuration for any specific requirements or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
