How To Fix WXP551 - No RFC destination is assigned to scenario &1 for the BW system

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WXP - Retail Planning

• Message number: 551

• Message text: No RFC destination is assigned to scenario &1 for the BW system

What causes this issue?

You want to use the SAP Business Warehouse when providing actual data.
In order to receive this data, you must have a link (RFC destination)
to the BW system.

How to fix this error?

Enter the RFC destination for the BW system at planning scenario level.
RFC destinations can be entered via <DS:TRAN.SM59>Tools ->
Administration -> Network -> RFC destinations</>.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP551 - No RFC destination is assigned to scenario &1 for the BW system ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WXP551 No RFC destination is assigned to scenario &1 for the BW system
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the BW system tries to execute a process or scenario that requires communication via an RFC destination, but no RFC destination has been assigned or maintained for the specified scenario.
  In SAP BW, certain processes (like data extraction, data transfer, or process chains) require an RFC destination to connect to other systems or to the BW system itself. The scenario mentioned in the error message (represented by &1) does not have an RFC destination configured, so the system cannot proceed.
  
  Typical Scenarios Where This Occurs:
  
  When running process chains that involve external system calls.
  When executing data extraction or data transfer processes that require RFC communication.
  When the BW system expects an RFC destination for a particular scenario (e.g., data source extraction, PSA loading, or DTP execution) but none is assigned.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Scenario Name:
  
  Identify the scenario name from the error message (the placeholder &1 will be replaced by the actual scenario name in the real error).
  
  
  Assign or Maintain the RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Navigate to Administration ? Source Systems.
  Find the relevant source system or scenario.
  Check if an RFC destination is assigned to the scenario.
  If not, create or assign the correct RFC destination that points to the appropriate system (e.g., the source system or BW system itself).
  
  
  
  Maintain RFC Destinations:
  
  Use transaction SM59 to create or verify the RFC destination.
  Ensure the RFC destination is correctly configured and tested successfully.
  
  
  
  Check Process Chain or Data Transfer Process (DTP) Settings:
  
  If the error occurs during a process chain, check the process chain step configuration.
  Ensure that the process chain step or DTP has the correct RFC destination assigned.
  
  
  
  Transport and Consistency:
  
  If the scenario or RFC destination was recently created or changed, ensure that the changes are transported correctly to the BW system.
  Check for inconsistencies or missing transports.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in BW systems integrated with multiple source systems or when setting up new data extraction scenarios.
  The RFC destination must be of the correct type (usually type 3 for ABAP connections).
  The user under which the RFC connection runs must have the necessary authorizations.
  Sometimes, the error can occur if the scenario is deleted or changed but references to it remain in process chains or other configurations.

  Error
  WXP551 No RFC destination is assigned to scenario &1 for the BW system
  
  
  Cause
  Missing RFC destination assignment for the specified scenario in BW
  
  
  Solution
  Assign or create the correct RFC destination for the scenario in RSA1 and SM59

  RSA1 (BW Admin), SM59 (RFC Destinations), RSPC (Process Chains)
