• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TB413 - Enter an RFC connection ?

  The SAP error message TB413, which states "Enter an RFC connection," typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a function that requires a Remote Function Call (RFC) connection, but the system cannot find a valid RFC destination. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to access remote systems or when executing certain transactions that rely on RFC connections.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Destination: The required RFC destination is not defined in the SAP system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Verify if the required RFC destination exists and is correctly configured.
