  The SAP error message LO_VCHCLF_SIMULATION004 indicates that a simulation with a specific ID could not be found in the database. This error typically occurs in the context of logistics and inventory management, particularly when dealing with simulations related to stock movements or inventory calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Simulation ID: The simulation ID you are trying to access does not exist in the database. This could be due to a typo or because the simulation was never created.
  Data Deletion: The simulation data may have been deleted or purged from the database.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the simulation data.
  Database Issues: There could be issues with the database connection or integrity that prevent the retrieval of the simulation data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Simulation ID: Double-check the simulation ID you are using to ensure it is correct and exists in the system.
  Check for Deletion: If you suspect the simulation was deleted, check with your system administrator or the relevant team to see if the data can be restored or if a new simulation needs to be created.
