• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP195 - Select either test or production run ?

  The SAP error message CP195 ("Select either test or production run") typically occurs in the context of running a process in SAP that requires a clear distinction between test and production environments. This error is often encountered in transaction codes related to production planning, such as when executing a production order or running a planning run.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the user attempts to execute a process without specifying whether it should be a test run or a production run. SAP requires this specification to ensure that the actions taken do not inadvertently affect live data or production processes.
  Solution:
  To resolve the CP195 error, you need to specify the type of run you want to perform. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the Transaction: Determine which transaction you are trying to execute that is generating the error.
  
  
  Select Run Type:
  
  If you are in a transaction that allows for a test run, look for an option or checkbox that allows you to select "Test Run" or "Production Run."
  If you are using a program or report, check the selection screen for parameters that allow you to specify the run type.
  
  
  
  Execute Again: After selecting the appropriate run type, execute the transaction again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Test Run: This option allows you to simulate the execution of a process without making any changes to the database. It is useful for validating the process and ensuring that it will work as expected.
  
  
  Production Run: This option executes the process and makes actual changes to the database. It is used when you are ready to implement the changes in the live environment.
  
  
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the selected run type. Sometimes, restrictions may prevent users from executing production runs.
  
  
  Documentation and Help: If you continue to experience issues, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CP195 error and successfully execute your desired process in SAP.
