Documentation
Definition
System in which integrated applications are running on a common data basis.
The distribution of data between systems requires that each system in the network has a unique identification. Logical systems are used for this purpose.
In SAP terms, the client refers to a logical system. You can specify which logical system is a client in the Client Maintenance (choose Goto -> Details).
The logical system is relevant for the following SAP areas:
- ALE general: Communication takes place between two or more logical systems.
- ALE Business Processes (for example, Cost Center Accounting): Definition of the system in which a given application runs. Changes such as those to master data can only be made in this system.
- Workflow objects: The key of a workflow object always contains the logical system in which the object is located.
When defining the logical system keep in mind the following:
- The logical system must be unique enterprise-wide. It must not be used by any other system in the ALE System group.
- The logical system must not be changed in the production system. If the logical system of a document reference is not set to initial and does not match your own, the system assumes that the document must be located on another system.

Note about transport
Wenn Sie mit verteilter Kostenstellenrechnung (ALE) arbeiten und Einstellungen zum Kostenrechnungskreis in ein produktives System transportieren, so stellen Sie bitte vor dem Export der Daten sicher, daß im Kostenrechnungskreis bereits das für das Zielsystem gültige logische System des Kostenrechnungskreises eingetragen ist, um Inkonsistenzen im Zielsystem zu vermeiden.
Supplementary Documentation - LOGSYSTEM 0002
Use
The logical system containing the transaction data for the cost center (home system of the cost center), is entered in this field.
