• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCR502 - System ID does not match ID saved in report ?

  The SAP error message RSCR502, which states "System ID does not match ID saved in report," typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the system ID of the SAP system you are currently using and the system ID that was originally saved in a report or query. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when reports are transported between different SAP systems or when a report is executed in a different environment than it was created in.
  Cause:
  
  Transport of Reports: If a report was created in one SAP system (with a specific system ID) and then transported to another system with a different system ID, this error may occur.
  Copying Reports: If a report is copied from one system to another without updating the system ID, it can lead to this error.
  System Migration: If the system has been migrated or upgraded, the system ID may have changed, leading to a mismatch.
  Development and Production Environment: Running a report in a development environment that was created in a production environment (or vice versa) can also trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Recreate the Report: If possible, recreate the report in the current system to ensure that it is saved with the correct system ID.
  Modify the Report: If you have access to the report's source code, you may be able to modify it to remove the dependency on the system ID.
  Transport the Report Correctly: Ensure that reports are transported correctly between systems, and check that the system ID is updated as necessary during the transport process.
  Check Report Settings: Review the report settings and parameters to ensure they are configured correctly for the current system.
  Use Transaction SE38 or SA38: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can use transaction SE38 or SA38 to execute the report in the correct environment.
