• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN796 - This version ID is reserved for simulation ?

  The SAP error message CN796 ("This version ID is reserved for simulation") typically occurs in the context of project management or controlling when working with version management in SAP. This error indicates that the version ID you are trying to use is reserved for simulation purposes and cannot be modified or used for actual planning or execution.
  Cause:
  
  Reserved Version ID: The version ID you are trying to access is specifically designated for simulation scenarios. In SAP, certain version IDs are reserved for specific purposes, and attempting to use them for other operations will trigger this error.
  Incorrect Version Selection: You may have inadvertently selected a version that is not intended for the operation you are trying to perform (e.g., planning, budgeting, etc.).
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a Different Version: Check the version IDs available in your project or controlling area and select a version that is not reserved for simulation. You can usually find this in the version management settings.
  Create a New Version: If you need a version for actual planning or execution, consider creating a new version that is not reserved for simulation. This can typically be done in the version management settings of your SAP module.
  Check Configuration: If you believe the version should not be reserved, check the configuration settings in your SAP system to ensure that the version IDs are set up correctly. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on version management and the specific use cases for different version IDs.
