• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABC_IBC060 - Simulation mode ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABC_IBC060 Simulation mode typically indicates that the system is currently in simulation mode for a specific process or transaction. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in planning or simulation scenarios where the system is set to run in a non-executive mode to allow users to test or analyze data without making actual changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode Activated: The system is intentionally set to simulation mode, which means that any actions taken will not affect the actual data.
  User Settings: The user may have selected a simulation option when executing a transaction or report.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to run certain processes in simulation mode by default.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Settings: Review the settings in the transaction or report you are using. Look for options that allow you to switch from simulation mode to actual execution mode.
  User Input: If you are using a specific transaction, ensure that you are not inadvertently selecting a simulation option. Look for checkboxes or radio buttons that indicate simulation mode.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the specific SAP documentation or help files related to the transaction or module you are working with for guidance on how to exit simulation mode.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to execute the transaction in actual mode. Sometimes, users may be restricted to simulation mode based on their roles.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the module, different transaction codes may have specific settings for simulation mode.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the error message.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the differences between simulation and actual execution modes to avoid confusion in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the /PM0/ABC_IBC060 Simulation mode error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
