• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_SIM_BO003 - Simulation &1 deleted ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_SIM_BO003 Simulation &1 deleted typically indicates that a simulation object (identified by &1) has been deleted or is no longer available in the system. This error can occur in the context of SAP's Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) or similar modules where simulations are used to analyze and optimize production processes.
  Cause:
  
  Manual Deletion: The simulation object may have been manually deleted by a user or through a batch job.
  Data Cleanup: A data cleanup process or job may have removed old or obsolete simulation data.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings that automatically delete simulations after a certain period or under specific conditions.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the simulation object, leading to the perception that it has been deleted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Status: Verify if the simulation object still exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or using the appropriate report to list existing simulations.
  Recreate the Simulation: If the simulation has indeed been deleted, you may need to recreate it. Ensure that you have the necessary parameters and data to set up the simulation again.
  Review Deletion Logs: Check system logs or change documents to see if there is a record of when and why the simulation was deleted. This can provide insights into whether it was a manual action or part of a scheduled job.
  Adjust Configuration: If the deletion is due to system configuration, consider adjusting the settings to prevent automatic deletions in the future.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and manage simulations. If not, work with your SAP security team to grant the appropriate permissions.
