• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SRMSMC/CMN_BL085 - Sell side RFC destination could not be determined ?

  The SAP error message /SRMSMC/CMN_BL085 Sell side RFC destination could not be determined typically occurs in the context of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) when the system is unable to identify the appropriate RFC (Remote Function Call) destination for a sell-side transaction. This can happen for various reasons, and here are some common causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  Missing or Incorrect Configuration: The RFC destination for the sell-side communication may not be configured correctly in the system.
  Missing Logical System: The logical system for the sell-side partner may not be defined in the system.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the vendor or the purchasing organization.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the required RFC destination.
  Network Issues: There could be network connectivity issues preventing the system from reaching the RFC destination.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 and check the configuration of the RFC destination. Ensure that the destination is correctly defined and that the connection is working.
  Test the connection to ensure that it is functioning properly.
  
  
  
  Define Logical System:
  
  Ensure that the logical system for the sell-side partner is defined in transaction SALE (or SPRO for customizing).
  Check if the logical system is assigned to the appropriate client.
  
  
  
  Review Partner Profile:
  
  Check the partner profile settings in transaction WE20 to ensure that the correct settings are in place for the vendor or customer.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Review Data Consistency:
  
  Check the vendor master data and ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly. Inconsistencies in the vendor data can lead to issues in determining the RFC destination.
  
  
  
  Network Connectivity:
  
  Ensure that there are no network issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the RFC destination. This may involve checking firewall settings or network configurations.
