• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RU081 - No confirmation data to be transferred from subsystem ?

  The SAP error message RU081, which states "No confirmation data to be transferred from subsystem," typically occurs in the context of the integration between SAP and a subsystem, such as a manufacturing execution system (MES) or another external system that is responsible for providing confirmation data related to production orders, deliveries, or other processes.
  Cause:
  
  No Data Available: The most common cause of this error is that there is no confirmation data available in the subsystem for the specific operation or order you are trying to process.
  Integration Issues: There may be issues with the integration between SAP and the external subsystem, such as communication problems, incorrect configuration, or data mapping issues.
  Timing Issues: The confirmation data may not have been sent or processed in time, leading to a situation where SAP is trying to retrieve data that has not yet been made available.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to fetch the confirmation data may not match any existing records in the subsystem.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Subsystem Data: Verify that the subsystem has the necessary confirmation data available. This may involve checking the logs or reports in the subsystem to ensure that the data has been generated and is ready for transfer.
  Review Integration Configuration: Ensure that the integration settings between SAP and the subsystem are correctly configured. This includes checking communication channels, data mapping, and any middleware that may be involved.
  Timing and Synchronization: If the issue is related to timing, ensure that the processes in the subsystem are completed before SAP attempts to retrieve the confirmation data. You may need to implement a synchronization mechanism.
  Adjust Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used in the transaction or report that is generating the error. Make sure that it is correctly set to fetch the relevant confirmation data.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the documentation for both SAP and the external subsystem for any specific troubleshooting steps or configuration settings that may be relevant to this error.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support or the support team for the external subsystem for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using specific transaction codes related to production orders, confirmations, or integration monitoring (e.g., CO11N for confirmations).
  Logs and Monitoring: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  Integration Tools: If you are using middleware (like SAP PI/PO or SAP CPI), check the monitoring tools available in those systems for any errors or issues in message processing.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the RU081 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
