• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_SIM_BO006 - Simulation name does not exist. ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_SIM_BO006 Simulation name does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) or similar modules where simulations are used for planning purposes. This error indicates that the system cannot find a simulation with the name you have specified.
  Causes:
  
  Non-existent Simulation Name: The most common cause is that the simulation name you are trying to use does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo or because the simulation was never created.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to access the simulation, even if it exists.
  Data Deletion: The simulation might have been deleted or archived, making it unavailable for use.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the simulation from being recognized.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Verify Simulation Name: Double-check the simulation name you are entering. Ensure there are no typos and that you are using the correct case (as SAP is case-sensitive).
  Check Existing Simulations: Use the appropriate transaction code (like /PLMI/PPE_SIM) to list existing simulations and confirm whether the simulation you are trying to access is present.
  Create a New Simulation: If the simulation does not exist, you may need to create a new one. Follow the necessary steps to set up a simulation in the system.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that your user profile has the necessary authorizations to access the simulation. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator for assistance.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for guidance on how to create and manage simulations in your specific version of SAP.
