• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /GSINS/INSH_MSG099 - Simulation run; no posting ?

  The SAP error message /GSINS/INSH_MSG099 indicates that a simulation run was performed, but no postings were made. This message typically arises in the context of the SAP Inventory Management or Logistics modules, particularly when dealing with goods movements, inventory postings, or similar transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The most common cause of this message is that the transaction was executed in simulation mode. In this mode, the system simulates the posting process without actually making any changes to the database.
  No Changes Detected: The system may determine that there are no changes to be posted based on the input data. For example, if the quantities or values are the same as the current inventory levels, no posting will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that prevent postings from being made, such as missing authorizations or incorrect settings in the movement types.
  Data Issues: There could be issues with the data being processed, such as missing master data (e.g., material master, plant data) or incorrect document types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Mode: Ensure that you are not running the transaction in simulation mode if you intend to make actual postings. Look for options or flags in the transaction that indicate whether it is set to simulate or post.
  Review Input Data: Verify the input data for the transaction. Ensure that the quantities, materials, and other relevant fields are correctly filled out and that they represent a valid change.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to the transaction. Ensure that the movement types and other relevant settings are correctly configured to allow postings.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to perform the posting.
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs or system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about why the posting did not occur.
  Test with Different Data: If possible, try running the transaction with different data to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem is data-specific.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP that may be related to inventory management, such as MIGO (Goods Movement), MB1A (Goods Withdrawal), or MB1B (Transfer Posting).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific transaction or error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with for more detailed information on the transaction and its expected behavior.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the relevant module.
