• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKMDC002 - Request for partner &1 (origin &2, change type &3) simulated ?

  The SAP error message FKKMDC002 typically relates to issues in the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module, specifically when dealing with partner data. This message indicates that a request for a partner (customer or vendor) has been simulated but not executed. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The error indicates that the system is in simulation mode, meaning that the changes to the partner data are not being executed but rather simulated. This can happen if the transaction is set to simulate changes instead of applying them.
  Change Type: The change type specified in the message may not be valid for the operation being performed, or the system may not allow the change due to certain conditions.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the partner master records that prevent the system from processing the request.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the requested changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Settings: Ensure that the transaction is not set to simulate changes. If you intend to execute the changes, make sure to switch off the simulation mode.
  Review Change Type: Verify that the change type being used is appropriate for the operation you are trying to perform. Consult the documentation or configuration settings to ensure it is valid.
  Validate Partner Data: Check the partner master data for any inconsistencies or missing information. Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to make changes to partner data. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
  Transaction Logs: Review transaction logs or system messages for additional details that may provide insight into why the simulation occurred.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in FI-CA, such as FP03 (Display Contract Account) or FPL1 (Create Payment Plan), which may help in troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for the FI-CA module to understand the implications of partner data changes and the simulation process.
