• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES443 - Planned records were written during the simulation ?

  The SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES443 indicates that planned records were created during a simulation run in the context of a planning process, such as in SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP S/4HANA. This message typically arises when a planning run is executed in simulation mode, and the system detects that planned records (like planned orders, forecasts, etc.) were generated.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The planning run was executed in simulation mode, which is intended to allow users to see the potential outcomes of their planning without making any actual changes to the database.
  Planned Records Created: Despite being in simulation mode, the system has generated planned records, which can happen if the configuration allows for such behavior or if certain conditions in the planning logic are met.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Planning Configuration: Review the planning configuration settings to ensure that the simulation mode is set up correctly. You may need to adjust the settings to prevent planned records from being created during simulation runs.
  Review Planning Logic: Analyze the planning logic or algorithms being used. There may be specific conditions or parameters that are causing planned records to be generated even in simulation mode.
  Use Actual Run: If you need to create planned records, consider running the planning process in actual mode instead of simulation mode.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for your specific version of SAP to understand the expected behavior of simulation runs and how to configure them properly.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide insights based on your specific system configuration and version.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error message or provide guidance on simulation runs.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to planning (e.g., /SAPAPO/MC90 for planning runs in APO) to better navigate the planning environment.
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and understand the implications of running planning processes in simulation mode.
