• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PRF_MODEL_IMPL047 - Running in simulation/test mode ?

  The SAP error message PRF_MODEL_IMPL047 typically indicates that a certain process or function is being executed in simulation or test mode, which may not allow for certain actions or changes to be made. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP Profitability and Performance Management (PaPM) or similar applications where simulations are run to test configurations or scenarios without affecting live data.

  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings of the model or process you are working with. Ensure that it is set to run in the desired mode (production vs. simulation).
  Switch to Production Mode: If you need to perform actions that are not allowed in simulation mode, switch the model or process to production mode. This typically involves changing a setting in the configuration or model properties.
  User Permissions: Verify that your user account has the necessary permissions to execute the desired actions. If not, contact your system administrator to adjust your permissions.
