Definition

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

The distribution of data between systems makes it necessary to uniquely identify each system within a network. The logical system does this.

In the SAP sense, the client corresponds to a logical system. In client maintenance, you can assign a logical system to a client (Goto -> Detail).

The logical system is relevant for the following SAP areas:

  • ALE, generally; Communication takes place between one or more logical systems.
  • ALE business processes (for example, cost center accounting): Definition of the system in which a specific application runs. For example, master data changes may only be run in this system.
  • Workflow objects: The key of a workflow object always contains the logical system in which the object is located.

Note the following when maintaining the logical system:

  • The logical system must be unique across the company. It must not be used by any other system in the ALE system network.
  • The logical system must not be changed in the productive system. If the logical system of a document reference is not initial, and does not agree with the own system, the system assumes that the document is in another system.
