  The SAP error message WAB614 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of an RFC (Remote Function Call) destination in your SAP system. Specifically, it states that the RFC destination should be of type 'G', which refers to an HTTP connection to an external server.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  The RFC destination you are trying to use is not configured correctly.

  There may be a misconfiguration in the settings of the RFC destination, such as incorrect URL or parameters.
