• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKESCH063 - Program was started as update run ?

  The SAP error message FKKESCH063 indicates that a program was started as an update run, which typically means that the program is trying to execute in a mode that is not suitable for the current context or transaction. This error often occurs in the context of financial or billing processes, particularly in the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module.
  Cause:
  
  Update Mode: The program is being executed in update mode, which is usually reserved for background processing or batch jobs. This can happen if the program is triggered from a transaction that does not support update processing.
  Transaction Context: The transaction or program may not be designed to run in the current context, leading to the system interpreting it as an update run.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that are causing the program to behave unexpectedly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transaction Execution: Ensure that you are executing the program or transaction in the correct mode. If it is meant to be run in the foreground, make sure you are not inadvertently triggering it in the background.
  Review Program Logic: If you have access to the program code, review the logic to ensure that it is not being called inappropriately or that it is not set to run in update mode when it should not be.
  Run in Background: If the program is intended to run as a background job, schedule it properly using transaction codes like SM36 (Define Background Job) and ensure that it is set up correctly.
  Check for Locks: Sometimes, the error can occur due to locks on the database or other resources. Check if there are any locks that might be preventing the program from executing properly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific program or transaction to see if there are known issues or additional configuration steps required.
  
  Related Information:
