• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKID_WHT_MSG001 - Simulation run; no posting executed ?

  The SAP error message FKKID_WHT_MSG001 typically occurs in the context of the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module when a simulation run is executed for a withholding tax posting, but no actual posting is made. This message indicates that the system is in simulation mode, and therefore, no financial entries are created in the database.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The most common cause of this error is that the transaction is being executed in simulation mode. In this mode, the system simulates the posting without actually executing it.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of withholding tax settings in the system, which could prevent postings from being executed.
  Missing Data: Required data for the withholding tax calculation may be missing or incorrect, leading to the inability to post.
  Posting Period: The posting period may be closed, preventing any postings from being executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Settings: Ensure that you are not running the transaction in simulation mode if you intend to execute actual postings. Look for options in the transaction to switch from simulation to actual posting.
  Review Configuration: Verify the configuration settings for withholding tax in the system. Ensure that all necessary parameters are correctly set up.
  Validate Data: Check the data being processed for completeness and correctness. Ensure that all required fields for the withholding tax calculation are filled out.
  Open Posting Period: Confirm that the posting period is open for the transaction date you are trying to post. If it is closed, you may need to open it or adjust the transaction date.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details related to the withholding tax configuration and posting processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as F.50 (Execute Withholding Tax) or F.51 (Simulate Withholding Tax) to understand the context of the error.

  User Authorization: Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to perform postings in the FI-CA module.
