• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SRMSMC/FND_WFL002 - Enter an RFC connection ?

  The SAP error message /SRMSMC/FND_WFL002 Enter an RFC connection typically occurs in the context of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) or when dealing with workflows that require Remote Function Call (RFC) connections. This error indicates that the system is expecting an RFC connection to be specified, but it has not been provided or is not configured correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Connection: The most common cause is that the required RFC connection has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The RFC connection may be incorrectly configured or inactive.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified RFC connection.
  System Settings: There may be issues with the system settings or parameters that prevent the RFC connection from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define RFC Connection:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Check if the required RFC connection is defined. If not, create a new RFC connection.
  Ensure that the connection type (e.g., T, 3, or G) is appropriate for your needs.
  
  
  
  Check Connection Settings:
  
  Verify the settings of the RFC connection, including the target host, system number, and client.
  Test the connection using the "Connection Test" option in SM59 to ensure it is working correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the workflow has the necessary authorizations to use the RFC connection.
  Check roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Configuration:
  
  If the error occurs in a specific workflow, review the workflow configuration to ensure that the RFC connection is correctly specified in the workflow settings.
  
  
  
  System Parameters:
  
  Check system parameters related to RFC connections. Sometimes, system-wide settings can affect the availability of RFC connections.
