• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_USR_SET_BO001 - Enter simulation data or deselect simulation activation ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_USR_SET_BO001 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) module when a user attempts to execute a function that requires simulation data, but that data has not been provided or the simulation mode is incorrectly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Simulation Data: The error indicates that the system expects simulation data to be entered, but none has been provided.
  Simulation Activation: The simulation mode may be activated, but the necessary data for the simulation is not available or has not been entered.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the simulation settings in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter Simulation Data: 
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or screen where the simulation is being executed.
  Ensure that all required simulation data is entered correctly. This may include parameters such as demand, supply, and other relevant planning data.
  
  
  
  Deselect Simulation Activation:
  
  If you do not intend to run a simulation, you can deactivate the simulation mode. Look for an option or checkbox that allows you to turn off simulation activation.
  This may be found in the settings or options menu of the transaction you are using.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the PP/DS module to ensure that simulation parameters are set up correctly.
  Consult with your SAP Basis or PP/DS configuration team if you suspect that there are issues with the system configuration.
