• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DGA384 - Simulation not started; no data records found ?

  The SAP error message DGA384, which states "Simulation not started; no data records found," typically occurs in the context of running simulations in SAP, particularly in modules like SAP Controlling (CO) or SAP Financial Accounting (FI). This error indicates that the system could not find any data records to process for the simulation you are trying to execute.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Data Available: The most common cause is that there are no relevant data records available for the simulation. This could be due to:
  
  No transactions recorded for the selected period.
  Filters applied that exclude all relevant data.
  Incorrect selection criteria or parameters.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the simulation might not be set up correctly, leading to no data being fetched.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the data records.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as problems with the database or the application server.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Data Availability: 
  
  Verify that there are indeed data records available for the period and criteria you are trying to simulate. You can do this by running a report or transaction that lists the relevant data.
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: 
  
  Ensure that the selection criteria you are using for the simulation are correct and not overly restrictive. Adjust the filters if necessary.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review: 
  
  Check the configuration settings related to the simulation process. Ensure that all necessary settings are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations: 
  
  Confirm that the user has the appropriate authorizations to access the data. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
  
  
  
  Technical Support: 
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or technical support team to investigate any potential technical issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the module, you might be using specific transaction codes (e.g., KP06 for cost planning, F-02 for financial postings) that could be relevant to the simulation.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with to understand the simulation process and any prerequisites.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the DGA384 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
