Hello Manoj,

Technical System is a physical system and Business System is the logical presentation of that technical system. Suppose we have a ECC system for which we need to define one technical system TS_ECC which can't be directly used in configuring scenarios. We need to create one or more Business System (e.g. BS_ECC) for that Technical system to be used in our scenarios.

Basically Technical systems are physically present in the landscape and Business Systems are only the logical representation of those technical system. So we can define multiple Business System for a single Technical System, but can't define multiple technical system for a single physical system.

Hi Suman,
