  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6E199 - ****** S I M U L A T I O N M O D E *********** ?

    The SAP error message "6E199 ** S I M U L A T I O N M O D E ***" indicates that the system is currently in simulation mode. This means that the transaction or process you are trying to execute is being run in a mode that does not affect the actual data or system state. Simulation mode is often used for testing purposes, allowing users to see what would happen if the transaction were executed without actually committing any changes.

    Cause:

    1. Simulation Mode Activated: The transaction you are trying to execute has been set to run in simulation mode. This can happen if the user has selected a specific option to run the transaction in simulation or if the system is configured to do so for certain transactions.
    2. User Settings: The user may have inadvertently set their session or transaction to run in simulation mode.
    3. Configuration Settings: Certain transactions may be configured by the system administrator to default to simulation mode for safety or testing purposes.

    Solution:

    1. Check Transaction Settings: Review the options available in the transaction you are trying to execute. Look for any checkbox or option that indicates "Simulation" and uncheck it if you want to run the transaction in real mode.
    2. User Preferences: Check your user settings or preferences to see if there is an option that defaults transactions to simulation mode. Adjust these settings as necessary.
    3. Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for the specific transaction you are using to understand how to switch from simulation mode to actual execution.
    4. Contact Administrator: If you are unsure why the system is in simulation mode or if you cannot change it, contact your SAP system administrator for assistance. They may need to adjust configuration settings or provide guidance on how to proceed.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Some common transaction codes that may run in simulation mode include financial transactions (like FB50 for journal entries) or logistics transactions (like MB1A for goods movements).
    • Testing and Training: Simulation mode is often used in training environments to allow users to practice without affecting live data.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Community for any known issues or additional guidance related to the specific transaction you are working with.

    If you continue to experience issues or if the simulation mode is not expected, further investigation into the specific transaction and system configuration may be necessary.
