This error can arise in various scenarios, such as during data transfer, remote function calls, or when interfacing with external systems.
  Causes:
  
  
  Network Issues: Problems with the network connection between the SAP systems can lead to data receive errors. This could be due to network outages, firewalls blocking traffic, or misconfigured network settings.
  
  
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration of RFC destinations or communication parameters can result in this error. This includes issues with the logical system settings or the RFC destination settings in transaction SM59.
  
  
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load or if there are performance issues, it may not be able to process incoming data correctly, leading to timeouts or data receive errors.
  
  
  Data Format Issues: If the data being sent does not match the expected format or structure, it can cause errors during the data reception process.

  Check Data Formats: Verify that the data being sent matches the expected format. This may involve checking the structure of the data being transmitted and ensuring it adheres to the expected schema.
