• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/AB_IBC_CNFG_I_C817 - Import of product module groups was ended in simulation mode ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/AB_IBC_CNFG_I_C817 indicates that the import of product module groups was executed in simulation mode, which means that the process did not actually make any changes to the system. This is typically a warning or informational message rather than a critical error.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The import process was run in simulation mode, which is often used for testing purposes. In this mode, the system simulates the import process without making any actual changes to the database.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the import configuration may have been set to run in simulation mode intentionally, either by the user or as part of a standard operating procedure.
  User Permissions: The user executing the import may not have the necessary permissions to perform the actual import, leading the system to default to simulation mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Import Settings: Review the settings for the import process. If you intend to perform an actual import, ensure that the simulation mode is disabled.
  Run the Import Again: If you are ready to proceed with the actual import, re-run the import process without the simulation flag.
  User Permissions: Verify that the user has the necessary permissions to perform the import. If not, consult with your SAP administrator to adjust the permissions accordingly.
  Review Logs: Check the logs for any additional messages or warnings that may provide more context about why the import was run in simulation mode.
