• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FVD_CUSTOMIZING022 - Simulation run, database not updated ?

  The SAP error message FVD_CUSTOMIZING022 indicates that a simulation run was executed, but the database was not updated. This message typically arises in the context of financial transactions or processes where a simulation is performed to assess the impact of certain actions without actually committing any changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The most common cause of this error is that the transaction was executed in simulation mode. In this mode, the system performs calculations and checks but does not make any changes to the database.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the SAP system may enforce simulation runs for specific transactions or processes.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the actual update, leading to the system only allowing a simulation.
  Transaction Type: The specific transaction type being executed may inherently be designed to run in simulation mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transaction Mode: Ensure that you are not in simulation mode if you intend to update the database. Look for options or flags in the transaction that indicate whether it is set to simulate or execute.
  Review Configuration: If you are an administrator, check the configuration settings related to the transaction to see if it is set to allow actual updates.
  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction. If not, you may need to request additional permissions from your SAP security team.
  Execute in Real Mode: If you are sure that you want to perform the actual transaction, ensure that you are executing it in the correct mode (not simulation).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction for any additional parameters or settings that may affect its execution.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes related to the process you are working on, as they may have specific modes or settings.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the error message. SAP frequently releases notes that address specific error messages and provide guidance on resolution.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
