  • What causes this issue?

    You have tried to edit the iPPE object &v1& &v2&. This object was
    transferred from the logical system &v3& and its original is still in
    that system. If you regularly transfer objects from that logical
    system, changes that you make in this system may be overwritten.
    For this reason, you can set iPPE Customizing so that a warning or
    error message is given when objects are edited that were created in a
    different logical system.

    System Response

    Dependent on the iPPE Customizing settings, the system interrupts the
    activity with an information, warning, or error message.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEENG159 - Original of &1 &2 is in logical system &3 ?

    The SAP error message PPEENG159 indicates that there is an issue with the original document or object being referenced in a logical system. This error typically arises in the context of Production Planning and Execution (PP/PE) when the system is trying to access or process a document that is not available in the current logical system.

    Cause:

    The error message "Original of &1 &2 is in logical system &3" suggests that the original document (identified by &1 and &2) is located in a different logical system (identified by &3). This can happen due to several reasons:

    1. Cross-Client or Cross-System Issues: The document may have been created in a different SAP system or client, and the current system does not have access to it.
    2. Data Transfer Issues: If data was supposed to be transferred between systems (e.g., through ALE/IDoc), there may have been a failure in the transfer process.
    3. Configuration Issues: The logical system settings may not be correctly configured, leading to the system not recognizing where to find the original document.
