• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE/AD319 - Distribution &1 was performed for period &2 as test run ?

  The SAP error message KE/AD319 indicates that a distribution was performed in a test run for a specific period. This message typically arises in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with assessments or distributions of costs.
  Cause:
  The error message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the distribution process was executed in "test mode." This means that the system has simulated the distribution without actually posting any changes to the database. The reasons for this could include:
  
  Test Run Configuration: The user or the system was set to execute the distribution in test mode, which is often used for validation purposes before executing the actual distribution.
  User Selection: The user may have selected the option to run the distribution as a test to check the results before committing to the actual posting.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this message and perform the actual distribution, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Execution Mode: Ensure that you are not running the distribution in test mode. Look for an option or checkbox in the transaction screen that indicates "Test Run" or similar. Uncheck this option if you want to perform the actual distribution.
  
  
  Re-run the Distribution: After ensuring that the test mode is disabled, re-run the distribution process. This should execute the distribution for the specified period and post the results to the database.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you frequently encounter this message and do not intend to run test distributions, review the configuration settings for the distribution process to ensure that the default is set to execute in live mode.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the settings or the implications of running in test mode, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error may occur in transactions related to cost distribution, such as KSV5 (Distribution of Costs) or KSV1 (Create Distribution).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates related to this message.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the distribution in live mode.
  Testing Procedures: It is a good practice to run distributions in test mode initially to verify the results before executing them in production.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the KE/AD319 message and successfully perform the desired distribution in SAP.
