• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SY562 - RFC &1 can be called in same system only ?

  The SAP error message SY562 indicates that a Remote Function Call (RFC) is being attempted in a way that is not allowed. Specifically, the message states that the RFC function module &1 can only be called within the same system. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to call a function module that is designed to be executed locally, but the call is being made from a remote system.
  Cause:
  
  Local Function Module: The function module you are trying to call is defined as a local function module, meaning it is intended to be executed only within the same SAP system.
  Incorrect RFC Destination: The RFC destination being used may not be configured correctly, or it may be pointing to a different system.
  Misconfiguration: There may be a misconfiguration in the RFC settings or the way the function module is being called.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function Module: Verify if the function module you are trying to call is indeed a local function module. You can do this by checking the function module's attributes in transaction SE37 or SE80.
  Use Local Call: If the function module is local, ensure that you are calling it from within the same system. If you need to perform the operation remotely, consider using a different function module that is designed for remote calls.
  Review RFC Destination: If you are using an RFC destination, check its configuration in transaction SM59. Ensure that it points to the correct system and that the connection is active.
  Alternative Function Modules: If you need to perform a similar operation remotely, look for alternative function modules that are designed for remote execution.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for more information on the specific function module and its intended use.
