  The SAP error message UMB058, which states "Remote Function Call: Function '&1' error in target system '&2'," typically indicates that there is an issue with a Remote Function Call (RFC) to a target system. This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for troubleshooting.
  Causes:
  
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity problems between the source and target systems, preventing the RFC from being executed.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the RFC may not have the necessary authorizations in the target system to call the specified function.
  Function Module Errors: The function module being called may not exist in the target system, or it may have been changed or deactivated.
  Configuration Issues: The RFC destination may not be correctly configured in the source system, leading to connection failures.
  System Availability: The target system may be down or not reachable due to maintenance or other issues.
  Data Issues: The data being passed to the function may not meet the expected format or constraints, causing the function to fail.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Network Connectivity: Ensure that there is proper network connectivity between the source and target systems. You can use tools like ping or telnet to test connectivity.
  Verify Authorizations: Check the user authorizations in the target system to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to execute the function module.
