• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GU986 - No logical system entered for the clients ?

  The SAP error message GU986 ("No logical system entered for the clients") typically occurs when there is a configuration issue related to logical systems in the SAP system. This error is often encountered during the configuration of system landscapes, especially when setting up connections between different SAP systems or when working with client-specific settings.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Logical System Configuration: The logical system for the client has not been defined in the system. Each client in an SAP system should have a corresponding logical system defined in the system settings.
  Incorrect Client Settings: The client settings may not be properly configured to recognize the logical system.
  Transport Management System (TMS) Issues: If you are working with transport routes, the logical system may not be correctly assigned in the TMS configuration.
  Client-Specific Settings: The error can also occur if you are trying to perform operations that require a logical system but the client does not have one assigned.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the GU986 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Define Logical System:
  
  Go to transaction code SCC4 (Client Administration).
  Check if the logical system is defined for the client you are working with. If not, you need to create a logical system.
  Use transaction code SALE to access the Logical System settings.
  Navigate to Tools -> ALE -> Logical Systems -> Define Logical System.
  Create a new logical system if it does not exist.
  
  
  
  Assign Logical System to Client:
  
  After defining the logical system, you need to assign it to the client.
  In transaction SCC4, select the client and enter the corresponding logical system in the "Logical System" field.
  
  
  
  Transport Management System (TMS) Configuration:
  
  If you are using TMS, ensure that the logical system is correctly configured in the TMS settings.
  Use transaction STMS to access the Transport Management System and check the configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Client-Specific Settings:
  
  Ensure that any client-specific settings that require a logical system are correctly configured.
