• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKDPR046 - Run was executed as a simulation ?

  The SAP error message FKKDPR046 indicates that a particular run (such as a payment run or a dunning run) was executed in simulation mode. This means that the system processed the run without actually posting any changes to the database. This is often done for testing purposes to ensure that the run will behave as expected before executing it for real.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The run was intentionally executed in simulation mode. This is a common practice to verify the results before making actual changes.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to default to simulation mode for certain runs, or the user may have selected the simulation option inadvertently.
  User Authorization: In some cases, user roles and authorizations may restrict the ability to execute certain runs in a non-simulation mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Execution Mode: When executing the run, ensure that the option for "simulation" is not selected. Look for a checkbox or option in the execution screen that indicates whether the run should be in simulation mode or not.
  Review Configuration: If the system is set to default to simulation mode, you may need to adjust the configuration settings. This typically requires access to the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  Re-run the Process: After confirming that the simulation option is unchecked, re-run the process to execute it for real.
  User Authorization: If you suspect that user authorization is an issue, check with your SAP security administrator to ensure you have the necessary permissions to execute the run in a non-simulation mode.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the specific process you are running (e.g., payment runs, dunning runs), you may be using different transaction codes (e.g., F110 for payment runs).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed instructions on executing specific runs and understanding the implications of simulation mode.
  Testing: It is a good practice to run processes in simulation mode first, especially in production environments, to avoid unintended consequences.
  
  If you continue to encounter issues or if the error persists despite following the above steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for further assistance.
