• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRAL154 - 'Exporting' Fields are not allowed for Client RFC Configurations ?

  The SAP error message SRAL154, which states "'Exporting' Fields are not allowed for Client RFC Configurations," typically occurs when there is an issue with the configuration of Remote Function Calls (RFC) in the SAP system. This error indicates that the function module being called is not set up correctly for client RFC configurations, particularly regarding the use of exporting parameters.
  Cause:
  
  Exporting Parameters: The function module being called has exporting parameters that are not allowed in the context of a client RFC. Client RFCs are designed to work with importing parameters and returning values, but not with exporting parameters.
  Function Module Configuration: The function module may not be properly configured for remote calls, or it may be using exporting parameters that are not supported in the RFC context.
  Incorrect Usage: The function module might be intended for use in a different context (e.g., local calls) and is being incorrectly invoked in a remote context.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Function Module: Check the definition of the function module being called. Ensure that it does not use exporting parameters if it is intended to be called via RFC.
  Modify Parameters: If you have control over the function module, consider changing the exporting parameters to importing parameters or returning values instead.
  Use Importing Parameters: Ensure that the parameters used in the RFC call are defined as importing parameters. This is the correct approach for client RFC configurations.
  Check RFC Destination: Verify that the RFC destination is correctly configured and that the function module is accessible from the client system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific function module to understand its intended use and any restrictions on its parameters.
  
  Related Information:
  
  RFC Types: Understand the different types of RFCs (e.g., synchronous, asynchronous, transactional) and how they handle parameters.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on best practices for RFC configurations.
  Function Module Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific function module to understand its parameters and intended usage.
  Testing: Test the function module in a local context to ensure it works as expected before attempting to call it remotely.
  
  By addressing the exporting parameters and ensuring the function module is correctly configured for RFC usage, you should be able to resolve the SRAL154 error.
