  User Settings: The user may have inadvertently set their session or transaction to run in test mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transaction Parameters: Review the parameters of the transaction you are executing. Look for any flags or options that indicate "test mode" and change them to allow for actual execution.
  Configuration Settings: If you have access, check the configuration settings in the relevant module to ensure that the system is not set to run in test mode by default.
  User Profile Settings: If applicable, check your user profile settings to see if there is an option that forces transactions to run in test mode.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for the specific transaction you are using to understand how to switch from test mode to live mode.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with a colleague who has experience with the specific transaction or module.
