  The SAP error message /PLMU/PRT_MSG003 indicates that there is a missing RFC (Remote Function Call) destination in the user-specific parameters for the user trying to execute a particular function or transaction. This error typically arises in the context of using the SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) module, particularly when dealing with the Production Resource Tools (PRT).
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system requires an RFC destination to communicate with other SAP systems or external systems, and this destination has not been defined in the user-specific settings. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The user has not set up their RFC destination.
  The RFC destination has been deleted or is not correctly configured.
  The user is trying to access a function that requires an RFC connection, but the necessary parameters are not set.

  Use the parameter ID relevant to the RFC destination (usually RFC_DEST or similar, depending on your system configuration).
  Enter the name of the RFC destination that you want to use.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
