• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKESCH062 - Program was started as simulation run ?

  The SAP error message FKKESCH062 indicates that a program was started in simulation mode. This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly in the area of contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA). When a program is run in simulation mode, it does not post any actual changes to the database; instead, it simulates the execution and provides a preview of what would happen if the program were run in real mode.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode Triggered: The program was intentionally or unintentionally started in simulation mode. This can happen if the user selects a specific option to run the program in simulation or if a parameter is set to run in simulation.
  User Authorization: Sometimes, users may not have the necessary authorizations to execute the program in real mode, leading to it being run in simulation mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Program Parameters: Review the parameters or options selected when starting the program. Ensure that the simulation option is not selected if you intend to execute the program for real.
  Run in Real Mode: If you want to execute the program for actual processing, make sure to uncheck any simulation options or change the execution mode to real.
  User Authorization: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to run the program in real mode. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the specific documentation for the program you are running to understand its parameters and options better.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you might be using transaction codes related to FI-CA, such as FPAYHIST (Payment History) or FKKOP (Contract Account).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific program you are running.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the program to see if there are any underlying issues causing it to default to simulation mode.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the error message does not resolve with the above steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP community forums for further assistance.
