• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PIC01206 - Single-item planning in simulation mode not possible for SUS chains ?

  The SAP error message PIC01206 indicates that single-item planning in simulation mode is not possible for Supply Chain Management (SUS) chains. This error typically arises in the context of planning processes where the system is unable to execute single-item planning due to the configuration or the nature of the planning chain.
  
  Cause:
  
  Planning Chain Configuration: The planning chain may not be set up to allow single-item planning in simulation mode. This can happen if the chain is designed for multi-item planning or if certain settings are not configured to support simulation.
  Data Issues: There may be missing or incorrect data in the master data or transaction data that prevents the system from executing the planning process.
  Simulation Mode Restrictions: The specific planning process or transaction may have restrictions that do not allow for simulation mode to be used with single-item planning.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Planning Chain Configuration: Review the configuration of the planning chain in the SAP
