• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMCA_INV052 - Document display not possible in simulation run ?

  The SAP error message FMCA_INV052, which states "Document display not possible in simulation run," typically occurs in the context of the Funds Management (FM) module when you attempt to display a document that is part of a simulation run. This error indicates that the system does not allow the display of certain documents while they are in a simulation state.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The error arises because the document you are trying to display is part of a simulation run. In simulation mode, the system does not create actual accounting documents, and therefore, there are no documents to display.
  Document Status: The document may not have been posted yet, or it may be in a state that does not allow for display.
  User Permissions: There may be restrictions based on user roles or permissions that prevent access to certain documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  Exit Simulation Mode: If you want to view the document, you need to exit the simulation mode and perform a real posting. This will create the actual accounting document that can be displayed.
  Check Document Status: Ensure that the document you are trying to display has been posted. You can check the status of the document in the relevant transaction.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction code for displaying documents. For example, use transaction codes like FB03 for financial documents or FMX1 for funds management documents.
  Review User Permissions: If you suspect that user permissions might be an issue, consult with your SAP security administrator to ensure you have the necessary access rights.
