• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_PRED067 - No new document simulated since there is already a simulated document ?

  The SAP error message FINS_PRED067 indicates that the system has detected an existing simulated document for the transaction you are trying to execute, and therefore, it will not create a new simulation. This typically occurs in the context of financial processes, particularly when working with simulations in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You attempt to simulate a financial document (like a journal entry or a posting) while there is already a simulated document present in the session.
  The system is designed to prevent multiple simulations for the same transaction to avoid confusion and ensure data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Simulated Documents:
  
  Navigate to the transaction where you encountered the error and check if there is an existing simulated document. You may need to look at the document overview or the simulation log.
  
  
  
  Delete or Reset the Existing Simulation:
  
  If you find an existing simulation that you no longer need, you can delete it or reset the simulation. This is usually done through the same transaction where you initiated the simulation.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Session:
  
  If you need to perform multiple simulations, consider opening a new session in SAP. This way, you can simulate a new document without conflicting with the existing one.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Settings:
  
  Ensure that the transaction settings allow for multiple simulations if that is a requirement for your process. This may involve configuration changes in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
  
  If the issue persists, consult the SAP documentation for the specific transaction you are using or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error can occur in various financial transaction codes, such as FB50 (G/L Account Document Entry), FB60 (Vendor Invoice), or others that involve document simulation.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete or modify simulated documents, as restrictions may lead to further complications.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FINS_PRED067 error and continue with your financial transactions in SAP.
