• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EA_FIN_UI_DECO106 - Action is not supported in simulation mode ?

  The SAP error message EA_FIN_UI_DECO106 indicates that a certain action is not supported in simulation mode. This typically occurs in the context of financial applications within SAP, particularly when users are trying to execute certain functions that are restricted when the system is in simulation mode.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The system is currently set to simulation mode, which is designed to allow users to test processes without making any actual changes to the database. Certain actions, such as posting transactions or executing certain financial operations, are not permitted in this mode.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration of the application may restrict certain actions when in simulation mode.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to perform the action, even outside of simulation mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Live Mode: If you need to perform the action that is being blocked, you should switch from simulation mode to live mode. This can usually be done by changing the settings in the application or transaction you are using.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings of the application to ensure that the actions you want to perform are allowed in the mode you are currently in.
  User Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to perform the action you are attempting. You may need to contact your SAP administrator to verify or adjust your permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or application you are using for more detailed guidance on the limitations of simulation mode.
