• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MY418 - Delta posting executed in test run ?

  The SAP error message MY418 indicates that a delta posting has been executed in a test run. This typically means that the system is simulating the posting process without actually committing any changes to the database. This is often done for testing purposes to ensure that the posting logic works correctly before executing it in a live environment.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The most common cause of this error is that the transaction or program was executed in test mode. This is often a setting that can be toggled on or off.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations in the system may default to test mode for safety reasons, especially in environments where data integrity is critical.
  User Input: The user may have inadvertently selected an option to run the transaction in test mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Execution Mode: Review the parameters or options selected when executing the transaction. Ensure that the "Test Run" option is not selected.
  Change Settings: If the system is configured to run in test mode by default, you may need to change this setting in the configuration or user profile.
  Execute in Production Mode: If you are ready to post the delta changes, ensure that you execute the transaction in production mode (without the test run option).
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are using to understand how to properly execute it.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The specific transaction code you are using may have specific parameters that control the execution mode. Check the documentation for that transaction.
  SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue or provide additional context.
  Testing Procedures: If you are in a testing phase, ensure that you have a clear understanding of the implications of running in test mode versus production mode.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to execute postings in production mode.
