• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LQ716 - RFC connection & is not available; no comparisons possible ?

  The SAP error message LQ716 indicates that there is an issue with the RFC (Remote Function Call) connection to the system, which is preventing comparisons from being made. This error typically arises in the context of logistics and inventory management, particularly when trying to perform operations that require data from another system or client.
  Cause:
  
  RFC Connection Issues: The most common cause of this error is that the RFC connection to the target system is not established or is not functioning correctly. This could be due to network issues, incorrect configuration, or the target system being down.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the target system via the RFC connection.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect settings in the RFC destination configuration in transaction SM59 can lead to this error.
  System Availability: The target system may be down for maintenance or experiencing issues that prevent it from responding to requests.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Connection:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 and check the status of the RFC connection. Test the connection to ensure it is working properly.
