• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSSC_E2E017 - Backend logical system cannot be determined ?

  The SAP error message FSSC_E2E017: Backend logical system cannot be determined typically occurs in the context of SAP Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) or when dealing with integration scenarios where the system is unable to identify the appropriate backend logical system for processing a transaction or request.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The logical system may not be properly configured in the system settings. This can happen if the logical system is not defined in the system landscape or if it is not assigned to the relevant client.
  
  
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be an issue with the mapping between the frontend and backend systems. If the mapping is incorrect or missing, the system will not be able to determine the backend logical system.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the configuration changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport that led to missing or incomplete configurations.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to access the backend logical system.
  
  
  System Landscape Changes: Changes in the system landscape, such as the addition of new systems or changes in existing ones, can lead to this error if the configurations are not updated accordingly.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Logical System Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SCC4 to verify that the logical system is defined and correctly assigned to the client.
  Ensure that the logical system is correctly configured in transaction BD54 (for logical system mapping).
  
  
  
  Review Mapping Settings:
  
  Check the mapping settings in transaction SPRO under the relevant configuration path for your application (e.g., Financial Supply Chain Management).
  Ensure that the mapping between the frontend and backend systems is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings.
  Ensure that all necessary configuration objects were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the backend logical system. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  
  System Landscape Review:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the system landscape, review the configurations to ensure that all systems are correctly defined and mapped.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP Notes and documentation related to the specific version of your SAP system for any known issues or additional configuration steps that may be required.
