  The SAP error message FINB_TR081 indicates an issue with the RFC (Remote Function Call) connection configuration in your SAP system. Specifically, it means that the RFC connection you are trying to use is pointing to a different system than the one you are currently working in. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect RFC Destination Configuration: The RFC destination is configured to point to a different SAP system instead of the local system.
  System Landscape Changes: Changes in the system landscape, such as system copies or migrations, may have led to incorrect RFC settings.
  Transport Layer Issues: If you are working in a transport layer, the RFC destination may not be correctly set up for the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Locate the RFC destination that is causing the error.
  Verify the target system settings, especially the Target Host and System Number. Ensure that it points to the correct local system.
  
  
  
  Adjust the RFC Destination:
  
  If the RFC destination is incorrect, modify it to point to the correct local system.
  Ensure that the Logon Data (client, user, password) is also correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Test the Connection:
  
  After making changes, use the Test Connection feature in SM59 to ensure that the RFC connection is working properly.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Layer Configuration:
  
  If you are working in a transport layer, ensure that the transport routes are correctly set up and that the RFC destinations are pointing to the appropriate systems.
  
  
  
  Consult Basis Team:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes or if the issue persists, consult your SAP Basis team for assistance. They can provide insights into the system configuration and help resolve the issue.
