  Incorrect Configuration: The logical system may not be correctly configured or may not be assigned to the appropriate client.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a newly created client or after a transport, the logical system may not have been transported correctly.

  To resolve the CRWB520 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Define Logical Systems:
  
  Go to transaction code SCC4 to check the logical systems defined in your SAP system.

  Assign Logical Systems:

  Check for Authorizations:
