How To Fix AUR017 - No simulation documents exist for the mass simulation index

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AUR - Unbilled Revenue Reporting and Mass Simulation

• Message number: 017

• Message text: No simulation documents exist for the mass simulation index

What causes this issue?

You tried to reverse the billing of mass simulation index
identification &v1&, installation &v2&. This is not possible because no
corresponding simulation documents were found. The simulation documents
may already have been deleted.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AUR017 - No simulation documents exist for the mass simulation index ?

  The SAP error message AUR017, which states "No simulation documents exist for the mass simulation index," typically occurs in the context of mass simulations in the SAP system, particularly in the area of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where mass simulations are performed.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Simulation Data: The primary cause of this error is that there are no simulation documents available for the specified mass simulation index. This could happen if:
  
  The simulation process has not been executed yet.
  The simulation documents were deleted or not created due to an error in the simulation process.
  The selection criteria used to retrieve the simulation documents do not match any existing records.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the mass simulation index or the related settings in the system.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the simulation documents.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Simulation Execution: Ensure that the mass simulation process has been executed successfully. If it has not been run, you will need to perform the simulation to generate the necessary documents.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Verify the selection criteria you are using to access the simulation documents. Make sure they are correct and that they match the existing simulation documents.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to mass simulations. Ensure that everything is set up correctly and that there are no missing parameters.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Confirm that you have the necessary authorizations to access the simulation documents. If not, contact your system administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  
  
  Consult Logs: If the simulation was supposed to create documents but did not, check the system logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate what went wrong during the simulation process.
  
  
  Re-run Simulation: If you find that the simulation documents were not created, try re-running the mass simulation process to generate the documents.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/MSIM for mass simulation or other related transactions in your specific SAP environment.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation or guides specific to your version of SAP for detailed instructions on mass simulations and troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who can provide more in-depth assistance.
