• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KV617 - Transaction completed in test run. See messages ?

  The SAP error message KV617, which states "Transaction completed in test run. See messages," typically indicates that a transaction you attempted to execute was run in test mode rather than in actual execution mode. This is common in various SAP transactions where a test run is an option to simulate the execution without making any changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The transaction was executed with a parameter that specifies it should run in test mode. This is often done to verify the results before committing any changes.
  User Settings: The user may have set their session or transaction to always run in test mode.
  Transaction Parameters: Some transactions have specific parameters that can be set to indicate a test run.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transaction Parameters: Review the parameters you used when executing the transaction. Look for options like "Test Run" or similar and ensure they are not selected.
  Execute in Production Mode: If you intended to execute the transaction for real, ensure you are not in test mode. This may involve unchecking a "Test Run" checkbox or changing a parameter in the transaction.
  Review Messages: The error message suggests checking for additional messages. Look at the log or output messages generated during the test run to understand what actions were simulated and if there are any warnings or errors that need to be addressed.
  User Settings: If you frequently encounter this issue, check your user profile settings or consult with your SAP administrator to ensure that your default settings are appropriate for your needs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The specific transaction code you are using may have documentation or help available that explains how to run it in both test and production modes.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Community for any known issues or additional guidance related to the specific transaction you are using.
  Testing Procedures: Familiarize yourself with the testing procedures in your organization, as there may be specific guidelines on when to use test runs versus actual execution.
