  The SAP error message /SCWM/MIGRATION001 Enter an RFC connection typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, particularly during migration or data transfer processes. This error indicates that the system requires an RFC (Remote Function Call) connection to proceed with the operation, but it has not been specified or is missing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Connection: The most common cause of this error is that the required RFC connection has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The RFC connection may be incorrectly configured or not active.

  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration settings for the RFC connection, including the target system, user credentials, and connection parameters.
  Ensure that the connection is active and not in a "failed" state.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
