  The SAP error message DRF_OUTBOUND221 typically occurs in the context of SAP's Data Replication Framework (DRF) when there is an issue with determining the objects for replication. This error can arise due to various reasons, including configuration issues, missing data, or problems with the replication setup.
  Causes:
  
  Configuration Issues: The replication model or the configuration settings for the data objects may not be set up correctly.
