• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSSEM207 - Installation error: Function module &1 missing in target &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSSEM207 indicates that there is a missing function module in the target system during the installation of a transport request. This error typically occurs when you are trying to transport objects (like programs, function modules, etc.) from one SAP system to another, and the target system does not have the required function module that is referenced in the transport.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Function Module: The function module that is referenced in the transport request does not exist in the target system.
  Transport Issues: The transport request may not have been properly created or released, leading to missing dependencies.
  Version Mismatch: The source and target systems may be on different versions or support packs, causing discrepancies in available function modules.
  Custom Development: If the function module is custom-developed, it may not have been transported or created in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Missing Function Module:
  
  Use transaction SE37 (Function Builder) in the target system to check if the function module exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to transport it from the source system or create it manually if it is a custom function module.
  
  
  
  Transport the Missing Function Module:
  
  If the function module is missing, identify the transport request that contains it in the source system and transport it to the target system.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Logs:
  
  Review the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the function module was not included in the transport.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Function Module:
  
  If the function module is custom and cannot be transported, you may need to recreate it in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Check any documentation related to the transport request to ensure that all dependencies are accounted for.
  
  
  
  System Consistency Check:
  
  Ensure that both the source and target systems are on compatible versions and support packs. If there are discrepancies, consider upgrading or aligning the systems.
