• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN719 - Job run in simulation mode; changes are not saved ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN719 indicates that a job is running in simulation mode, which means that any changes made during this run will not be saved to the database. This is a common scenario in SAP when testing or simulating processes to ensure that everything works as expected before making actual changes.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The job or transaction is explicitly set to run in simulation mode. This is often done to test the process without affecting the actual data.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to run certain jobs in simulation mode by default, especially in development or testing environments.
  User Input: The user may have selected an option to run the job in simulation mode inadvertently.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Parameters: Review the parameters or settings of the job you are running. Ensure that the option for simulation mode is not selected if you intend to make actual changes.
  Run in Production Mode: If you are ready to apply changes, ensure that you run the job in production mode (non-simulation mode). This may involve changing a setting or parameter in the job configuration.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the specific documentation for the transaction or job you are running to understand how to switch from simulation to actual execution.
  Testing Environment: If you are in a testing environment, confirm that you are using the correct environment for your intended actions. Sometimes, users may accidentally run jobs in a test environment when they meant to run them in production.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes related to the job you are running. For example, if you are working with contracts, you might be using transaction codes like FARR for Asset Accounting.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to the error message.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to run the job in the desired mode.
  Logs and Traces: Review any logs or traces generated during the job run to gather more context about the error and the job's execution.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these aspects, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further assistance.
