  Cause:
  The error message /IWFND/COD003 can be caused by several factors, including:

  Network Issues: Connectivity problems between the SAP Gateway and the backend system can lead to failures in creating BgRFC units.
  
  
  Resource Limitations: If the system is under heavy load or if there are resource constraints (e.g., memory, CPU), it may not be able to process BgRFC requests.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user or service account executing the request may not have the necessary authorizations to create BgRFC units.
  
  
  Data Issues: Invalid or inconsistent data being processed can also lead to this error.
