    The SAP error message /SCWM/MD073 Logical system does not exist or it does not have RFC Destination typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system is trying to access a logical system that is either not defined in the system or does not have a proper Remote Function Call (RFC) destination configured.

    Cause:

    1. Logical System Not Defined: The logical system you are trying to use may not be defined in the SAP system.
    2. Missing RFC Destination: The logical system exists, but there is no RFC destination configured for it, or the existing RFC destination is not functioning correctly.
    3. Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the settings related to the logical system or the RFC destination.
    4. Transport Issues: If the logical system was recently transported, it may not have been set up correctly in the target system.

    Solution:

    1. Check Logical System Configuration:

      • Go to transaction BD54 to check if the logical system is defined.
      • If it is not defined, you will need to create it using transaction BD54.
    2. Check RFC Destination:

      • Ensure that the RFC destination corresponding to the logical system exists and is configured correctly.
      • Test the RFC connection to ensure it is working properly.
    3. Create or Update RFC Destination:

      • If the RFC destination does not exist, create it.
      • If it exists but is not functioning, you may need to update the settings or recreate it.
    4. Check System Settings:

      • Ensure that the logical system is assigned to the correct client and that the necessary authorizations are in place.
    5. Transport Requests:

      • If the logical system was recently transported, ensure that all necessary transport requests have been imported correctly.
    6. Consult Documentation:
