• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XMS_ADM053 - Function module & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message XMS_ADM053 indicates that a function module is missing or does not exist in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Exchange Infrastructure (XI) or Process Integration (PI) when the system is trying to call a function module that has not been defined or has been deleted.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Function Module: The function module that is being called does not exist in the SAP system. This could be due to a transport issue or an incomplete installation.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in the integration scenario may be pointing to a function module that is not available.
  Transport Issues: If the function module was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been imported correctly.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the function may not have the necessary authorizations to access the function module.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Function Module Existence:
  
  Use transaction code SE37 to check if the function module exists in the system. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or transport it from another system.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the Integration Directory (transaction SXMB_IFR) to ensure that the correct function module is being referenced.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  If the function module is missing, check the transport requests to see if it was supposed to be transported. If it was, ensure that the transport was successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the function module. You can check this using transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
