• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE0C187 - Set &1 would be created (test run) ?

  The SAP error message KE0C187 indicates that a set (in this case, a cost center or internal order set) would be created during a test run of a transaction, but it is not actually being created because the system is in test mode. This message typically appears when you are running a transaction that involves creating or modifying sets in the Controlling (CO) module, such as during the execution of a report or a program that processes cost allocations or assessments.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The transaction is being executed in test mode, which means that no actual changes will be made to the database. The system is simulating the execution to show what would happen if the transaction were run in production mode.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that prevent the creation of sets in the current environment or user role.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to create sets.
  
  Solution:
  
  Run in Production Mode: If you want to create the set, you need to execute the transaction in production mode instead of test mode. Look for an option to switch from "Test Run" to "Execute" or "Production Run" in the transaction.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to the creation of sets in the CO module. Ensure that the necessary settings are in place to allow for the creation of sets.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to create sets. This may involve checking user roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details about the transaction you are running and any prerequisites for creating sets.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error may occur in various transaction codes related to cost center accounting, internal orders, or assessments (e.g., KSU5, KSV5).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Testing Procedures: If you are testing a new configuration or process, ensure that you have a clear understanding of the implications of running in test mode versus production mode.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the Controlling module.
