• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3G390 - Vendor search took place in logical system &1 ?

  The SAP error message 3G390 ("Vendor search took place in logical system &1") typically occurs in the context of vendor master data management, particularly when there is an issue with the vendor search process in a distributed system landscape. This error indicates that the system attempted to search for vendor data in a logical system that is not configured correctly or is not accessible.
  Cause:
  
  Logical System Configuration: The logical system specified in the error message may not be correctly configured in the SAP system. This could be due to missing or incorrect settings in the system landscape.
  RFC Connection Issues: There may be issues with the Remote Function Call (RFC) connection to the logical system, preventing the system from accessing vendor data.
  Data Synchronization: If the vendor data is not synchronized properly between systems, the search may fail.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access vendor data in the specified logical system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Logical System Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) and check the logical system settings.
  Ensure that the logical system is correctly defined in transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations) and that it is active.
  
  
  
  Verify RFC Connections:
  
  In transaction SM59, check the status of the RFC connection to the logical system mentioned in the error message.
  Test the connection to ensure it is working properly. If there are issues, resolve them by checking network settings, user credentials, and connection parameters.
  
  
  
  Data Synchronization:
  
  Ensure that vendor data is synchronized across the systems. You may need to run data replication jobs or check the middleware (if applicable) to ensure data consistency.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
