This error typically occurs when an application or process attempts to call a remote function but cannot find the specified destination in the SAP system configuration.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors:

  Configuration Issues: The RFC destination may not have been configured properly in the SAP system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified RFC destination.
  Transport Issues: If the RFC destination was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated or configured correctly in the target system.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Look for the specified RFC destination in the list. Ensure that it exists and is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Create or Correct RFC Destination:

  Test the RFC Connection:
  
  After creating or modifying the RFC destination, use the "Test Connection" feature in SM59 to ensure that the connection works properly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or service account attempting to use the RFC destination has the necessary authorizations. You can check this in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and verify the roles and authorizations assigned to the user.
