• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKMETRIC021 - Run is executed as a simulation run. ?

  The SAP error message FKKMETRIC021 indicates that a run (such as a billing run or a payment run) is being executed in simulation mode. This means that the system is not actually posting any transactions or making any changes to the database; it is only simulating what would happen if the run were executed in real mode.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error message is that the run has been initiated with the simulation option enabled. This is often done for testing purposes to see what the results would be without affecting the actual data.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to execute the run in actual mode instead of simulation mode. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check the Run Parameters: When you initiate the run, ensure that you are not selecting the simulation option. Look for a checkbox or parameter that indicates "Simulation" and make sure it is unchecked.
  
  
  Execute the Run: After ensuring that the simulation option is disabled, execute the run again. This should allow the system to process the transactions as intended.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are consistently encountering this issue, review the configuration settings for the run type you are using. There may be default settings that are causing the system to default to simulation mode.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the parameters or settings, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or run you are executing.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context of the run (e.g., billing, payment), you may be using different transaction codes (e.g., FPL9 for payment runs, F.2 for billing).
  Testing Environment: If you are in a testing environment, it is common to run processes in simulation mode. Make sure you are in the correct environment for your intended actions.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to execute runs in actual mode.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
