  The SAP error message RPM_APPL026 indicates that there is an issue with the RFC (Remote Function Call) group name that has been maintained in the Customizing settings. This error typically arises when the system is unable to find or validate the specified RFC group name during the execution of a process that requires it.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect RFC Group Name: The RFC group name specified in the Customizing settings does not match any existing RFC group in the system.
  Missing Configuration: The required RFC group may not have been created or configured properly in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport that led to the RFC group not being available.

  Solution:
  
  
  Verify RFC Group Name:
