• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/BO_PPE_VMP001 - Simulation GUID &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_PPE_VMP001 Simulation GUID &1 does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning and Execution (PP/PE) module, particularly when dealing with simulations or scenarios that involve the use of GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers) for specific simulation instances.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Simulation: The GUID referenced in the error message does not correspond to any existing simulation in the system. This could happen if the simulation was deleted or never created.
  Incorrect GUID: The GUID might have been entered incorrectly, leading to a lookup failure.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database or issues with the data model that prevent the system from recognizing the simulation.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access the simulation associated with the GUID.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify the GUID: Check the GUID you are using to ensure it is correct. If you have access to the system, you can look for the simulation in the relevant transaction or report.
  Check for Existing Simulations: Use the appropriate transaction code (like /PLMI/BO_PPE) to list existing simulations and confirm whether the GUID exists.
  Recreate the Simulation: If the simulation has been deleted or does not exist, you may need to recreate it.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that your user account has the necessary permissions to access the simulation. You may need to contact your system administrator for assistance.
  Consult Logs: Check system logs or error logs for any additional information that might help diagnose the issue further.
