The purpose of this activity is to create a logical system for your SAP ERP system. To enable communication between systems within your system landscape, you must do the following:

  1. Logon to the SAP ECC system.

  2. Define the systems as logical systems.

  3. Assign the logical system for the SAP ERP system to a client.

This enables the systems to recognize the target system as an RFC destination. If the logical system has already been created, skip this activity.
