This error message suggests that there is a problem with reading source data from the specified RFC destination.
  Cause:
  
  RFC Destination Configuration: The RFC destination specified in the error message may not be correctly configured. This could include incorrect connection parameters, such as the target system, user credentials, or network issues.
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity problems between the SAP system and the target system defined in the RFC destination.
  Authorization Issues: The user credentials used in the RFC destination may not have the necessary authorizations to access the required data.
  System Availability: The target system may be down or not available for some reason, preventing data retrieval.
  Data Format Issues: The data being read may not be in the expected format, leading to errors during processing.

  Check RFC Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Locate the RFC destination mentioned in the error message.
  Verify that the connection parameters (such as target host, system number, client, user, and password) are correct.
  
  
  
  Test the RFC Connection:
