The code that we write is always client independent. When you develop a smart for and activate the same a function module is generated with code. So code being client independent smart forms is also.

Logical System - a name that represents the system

<b>Smart Forms:</b>

When a Smart Form is compiled, it generates an ABAP function module – and these are always client-independent.

<b>Logical System iin ALE:</b>

'Logical System' is used to identify an individual client in a system for ALE

communication between SAP systems. Hence there is a field for 'logical

system' in the client master data in SCC4 (table T000).

Logical Systems represent R/3 or external systems in the SAP R/3 environment for the distribution of data. The existence of LS is mandatory for the corresponding R/3 client (which uses ALE or EDI). This LS acts as the "sender" for outbound messages and a "receiver" for inbound messages.

In addition to the base LS, another LS must be present within that R/3 system for each R/3 or external system used for ALE interfaces. In an inbound ALE interface, second LS represent the sender (another R/3 or external system) with respect to the base LS (receiver). In an outbound ALE interface, this second LS is the receiver on behalf of the R/3 or external system with respect to the base LS (sender).

I hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Vibha
