Specifically, it states that the source logical system for the specified supplier is unknown, which can lead to problems in data replication and integration between systems.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Logical System Configuration: The logical system for the supplier may not be defined in the system. This can happen if the logical system was not created or if it was deleted.
  Incorrect Configuration: The logical system might be incorrectly configured or not properly assigned to the supplier.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to missing or incorrect entries.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Logical System Configuration:
