Definition

System in which applications run integrated on a shared data basis.

The distribution of data between systems requires that each system in the network has a unique identification. The logical system is used for this purpose.

In the SAP System the client corresponds to a logical system. You can assign a logical system to a client in the client maintenance (choose Goto -> Detail).

The logical system is relevant in the following SAP areas:

  • ALE general: two or more logical systems communicate with one another.
  • ALE - ALE business processes (for example, cost center accounting): definition of a system where a specific application runs. Changes to master data can only be made in this system, for example.
  • Workflow objects: the logical system in which the object is located is always included in an object's key.

When maintaining the logical system, note the following:

  • The logical system must be unique company-wide. It must not be used by any other system in the ALE integrated group. In a production system, the logical system must not be changed. If the logical system of a document reference is not set to initial and does not match your own, the system assumes the document is located in a different system.
