  The SAP error message ICH_KANBAN015 ("Separate logical system could not be determined") typically occurs in the context of the Kanban process within SAP, particularly when dealing with the integration of different logical systems in a distributed environment. This error indicates that the system is unable to identify the appropriate logical system for processing a Kanban signal or transaction.
  Causes:
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The logical system may not be properly configured in the system settings. This can happen if the logical system is not defined in the client or if the necessary settings for the logical system are missing.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the materials or the Kanban containers may not be correctly set up, leading to the inability to determine the logical system.
  
  
  Transport Layer Issues: If the system is set up in a transport landscape, there may be issues with the transport layer configuration that prevent the identification of the logical system.
  
  
  Cross-Client Settings: The settings for the logical system may not be consistent across different clients, leading to discrepancies.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Logical System Configuration:

  If applicable, review the transport layer settings in transaction SCC1 to ensure that the logical system is correctly configured for the transport routes.
  
  
  
  Cross-Client Settings:
  
  Ensure that the settings for the logical system are consistent across all relevant clients. This may involve checking the configuration in transaction SPRO under the relevant sections for Kanban and logical system settings.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
