• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CLMM023 - Changes were not saved (test mode) ?

  The SAP error message CLMM023: Changes were not saved (test mode) typically occurs when you are trying to make changes in a transaction that is currently in test mode. This means that the system is set to simulate the changes without actually committing them to the database. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Test Mode Activation: The transaction or program you are using is running in test mode, which is designed to allow users to simulate changes without affecting the actual data.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations in the system may enforce test mode for specific transactions or processes.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to execute the transaction in a mode that allows saving changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Switch to Production Mode: If you intend to make actual changes, ensure that you are not in test mode. Look for an option in the transaction to switch from test mode to production mode. This may involve changing a setting or parameter in the transaction.
  
  
  Check Transaction Settings: Review the settings of the transaction you are using. Some transactions have specific flags or options that determine whether they run in test or production mode.
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that your user account has the necessary authorizations to perform the changes. If you lack the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator to grant you the appropriate access.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are using. There may be specific instructions or notes regarding test mode and how to exit it.
  
  
  Debugging: If you are a developer or have access to debugging tools, you can analyze the program flow to identify why it is defaulting to test mode.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific transaction or module you are working with.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes (T-codes) related to the process you are working on, as they may have specific behaviors.
  User Training: If you are new to SAP or the specific module, consider undergoing training or reviewing training materials to better understand how to navigate and use the system effectively.
