• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKBIX805 - Report was started as test run - no data was saved ?

  The SAP error message FKKBIX805 indicates that a report was executed in test mode, which means that no actual data changes were made or saved during the execution of the report. This is a common scenario in SAP when users want to verify the results of a report without affecting the database.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error message is that the report was executed with the "Test Run" option enabled. In many SAP reports, especially those related to financial transactions, there is an option to run the report in test mode to preview the results before committing any changes to the database.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue and ensure that data is saved, you need to run the report in "Update" mode instead of "Test Run." Here are the steps to do this:
  
  Re-run the Report: Go back to the report execution screen.
  Disable Test Run: Look for an option or checkbox that indicates "Test Run" or "Simulate." Make sure this option is unchecked.
  Execute the Report: Run the report again. This time, it should process the data and save the changes to the database.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Understanding Test Runs: Test runs are useful for validating the logic of a report or transaction without making any changes. This is particularly important in financial applications where incorrect data changes can have significant implications.
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the specific report you are running, the transaction code may vary. Common transaction codes related to financial postings include F-02 (General Posting), F-03 (Clear G/L Account), and others.
  Documentation: Always refer to the SAP documentation or help files for the specific report you are using to understand its parameters and options better.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to execute the report in update mode, as some users may have restrictions on making changes to financial data.
  
  If you continue to encounter issues or if the report does not behave as expected even after running it in update mode, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for further assistance.
