Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Logical System Configuration: The error indicates that the logical system specified (denoted by &1) is not recognized as the central system in the CUA setup. In a CUA environment, there is one central system that manages user data, and all other systems are considered child systems.
  CUA Setup Issues: The CUA configuration may not be set up correctly, or the logical system may not be properly defined in the CUA settings.
  Transport Issues: If the logical system was recently changed or transported, it may not have been updated correctly in the CUA configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check CUA Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 and check the user settings for the logical system in question.
  Use transaction SCUA to review the CUA configuration. Ensure that the logical system is correctly defined as the central system.
  Verify that the logical system is correctly assigned in the CUA settings.
  
  
  
  Verify Logical System:
  
  Use transaction SCC4 to check the logical system settings. Ensure that the logical system is marked as a CUA central system.
  If the logical system is not set as the central system, you may need to adjust the configuration.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the logical system was recently changed, ensure that all relevant transport requests have been imported correctly into the system.
  Check for any inconsistencies in the transport logs.
  
  
  
  System Synchronization:
  
  Ensure that all child systems are properly synchronized with the central system. You may need to run the synchronization process again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
