  Logical receiver determination is a feature of the SAP Enterprise Service Infrastructure (BC-ESI) that allows users to define a logical receiver for a service. This means that the service can be sent to any system that is registered as a logical receiver, regardless of the physical system it is running on. This allows for greater flexibility in the way services are sent and received.

  To use logical receiver determination, users must first define a logical receiver for the service they wish to send. This can be done in the SAP Enterprise Service Infrastructure (BC-ESI) by selecting the “Define Logical Receiver” option from the menu. Once this is done, users can then select the logical receiver when sending the service.
