Definition

System, in which applications run, integrated on a joint databasis.

In the SAP sense, a client corresponds to a logical system. In the definition of a client, you can enter which logical system is a client.

The logical system is relevant for the following SAP areas:

  • ALE, in general: Communication takes place between one or more logical systems.
  • ALE, distribution scenarios (e.g. cost center accounting): Definition of the system in which a certain application is running. Master data changes, for example, can only be carried out in this system.
  • Workflow objects: The logical system is always contained in the key of an object

When maintaining the logical system, please note:

  • The logical system must be unique across the group. It may not be used by any other system in the ALE system group.
  • The logical system can no longer be changed in the productive system if a non-initial has been entered once. If a non-initial logical system is changed retrospectively then the system's own documents may no longer be found. If the logical system of a document reference does not agree with it's own then the system assumes that the document is in another system.
