• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_ES_UTILS061 - Simulation mode - no changes were saved ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_ES_UTILS061 indicates that you are in "simulation mode," which means that any changes you attempt to make will not be saved. This is a common scenario in various SAP applications, particularly in the context of testing or simulation environments where you want to evaluate the impact of changes without actually committing them to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The system is set to simulation mode, which is intended for testing purposes. In this mode, you can see the effects of your changes without making any actual updates to the database.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the application or transaction you are using may have been set to run in simulation mode.
  User Permissions: Sometimes, user roles and permissions may restrict the ability to make changes, leading to the system defaulting to simulation mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Exit Simulation Mode: If you want to make actual changes, you need to exit simulation mode. Look for an option in the application or transaction to switch from simulation to actual mode. This may involve changing a setting or selecting a different option in the user interface.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the transaction or application you are using. Ensure that it is not set to run in simulation mode by default.
  User Roles and Permissions: Verify that your user account has the necessary permissions to make changes. If you lack the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your user role.
  Testing Environment: If you are in a testing environment, consider whether you need to switch to a production environment or a different testing setup that allows for actual changes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific module or transaction you are using to understand how simulation mode works and how to switch it off.
