• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_SIM_BO015 - No simulations exist in the system ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_SIM_BO015 No simulations exist in the system typically occurs in the context of the SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module, particularly when working with simulations in the Product Portfolio Management (PPM) or similar applications. This error indicates that the system is unable to find any simulation data for the specified criteria or context.
  Cause:
  
  No Simulations Created: The most common cause is that no simulations have been created or saved in the system for the specific object or context you are trying to access.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to retrieve simulations may be incorrect or too restrictive, leading to no results being found.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the simulations, which could lead to the system not displaying any available simulations.
  Data Deletion: Simulations may have been deleted or archived, making them unavailable for retrieval.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent simulations from being displayed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Create Simulations: If no simulations exist, you will need to create one. Ensure that you follow the correct process for creating simulations in the system.
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you are using to ensure they are correct. Try broadening the criteria to see if any simulations exist.
  Verify Authorizations: Check your user authorizations to ensure you have the necessary permissions to view simulations. You may need to contact your system administrator for assistance.
  Data Review: Check if any simulations have been deleted or archived. If they have been archived, you may need to restore them or access them through the appropriate archive process.
  Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to create and manage simulations in your specific version of SAP.
  System Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to ensure that the system is set up correctly to handle simulations.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide specific guidance or fixes for known problems.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found effective.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly create and manage simulations within the SAP PLM module to prevent future occurrences of this error.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
