• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ALB_FND_MSG597 - Data records: &1 read, &2 saved to database (only simulated) ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ALB_FND_MSG597 typically indicates that during a data processing operation, a certain number of records were read, but only a subset of those records were actually saved to the database. The message suggests that the saving operation was simulated, meaning that no actual changes were made to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The operation was executed in simulation mode, which is often used for testing purposes. In this mode, the system processes the data but does not commit any changes to the database.
  Data Validation Issues: There may be issues with the data being processed, such as missing required fields, incorrect data formats, or other validation errors that prevent the records from being saved.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the operation may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the save operation.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the system may be set to simulate changes rather than apply them.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Settings: Ensure that the operation is not being run in simulation mode if you intend to save the data. Look for any flags or parameters that control this behavior.
  Review Data: Validate the data being processed to ensure it meets all necessary criteria and formats. Correct any issues found.
  Check Authorizations: Verify that the user has the appropriate authorizations to perform the save operation. If not, consult with your SAP security team to obtain the necessary permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or transaction help to understand the specific requirements for the operation you are performing.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify any underlying issues that may not be immediately apparent.
