• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FG013 - This program run is a production run ?

  The SAP error message FG013 ("This program run is a production run") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a program or transaction that is restricted to production environments. This is a safety feature in SAP to prevent unintentional changes or actions in a live system.
  Cause:
  
  Production Environment Restriction: The program or transaction you are trying to execute is designed to run only in a production environment, and the system has detected that you are in a non-production environment (like a development or testing system).
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to execute the program in the production environment.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to restrict certain actions in production to prevent data integrity issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Environment: Ensure that you are in the correct environment. If you are in a development or testing environment, switch to the production environment if you have the necessary permissions.
  User Authorizations: Verify that your user account has the appropriate authorizations to execute the program in the production environment. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to check or update your authorizations.
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific program or transaction to understand its intended use and any restrictions that may apply.
  Contact Support: If you believe you should have access to run the program in production, contact your SAP support team or system administrator for assistance. They can provide insights into the configuration and any potential changes that may be needed.
