This error message format suggests that there is an issue with the communication between systems or with the function module being called. The message includes placeholders for the destination, function module, and a specific error message.
  Cause:
  
  Destination Issues: The RFC destination specified may not be correctly configured or may be inactive. This could be due to network issues, incorrect settings, or the target system being down.
  Function Module Errors: The function module being called may not exist in the target system, or it may have been changed or deleted. There could also be issues with the parameters being passed to the function module.
  Authorization Issues: The user credentials used for the RFC call may not have the necessary authorizations to execute the function module.
  Network Problems: There could be network connectivity issues between the SAP systems involved in the RFC call.
