  The SAP error message DRF_OUTBOUND185 indicates that there are no business systems available for the replication process, which means that the system cannot find any valid target systems to send the data to. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Data Replication Framework (DRF), which is used for replicating master data across different systems.
  Causes:
  
  No Business Systems Defined: There may not be any business systems defined in the system for the specific data object you are trying to replicate.
