• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PYD_FND105 - Mock level can only be set if transaction type is 'mocked' ?

  The SAP error message PYD_FND105 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a mock transaction in the context of the SAP system, particularly when dealing with the Payroll or Financial Data (PYD) module. The error message states that the "Mock level can only be set if transaction type is 'mocked'." This typically occurs when the system is expecting a specific transaction type but is receiving a different one.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Transaction Type: The error is triggered when the mock level is set for a transaction type that is not designated as 'mocked'. This means that the system is trying to apply mock settings to a transaction that is not configured to handle them.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the settings related to the transaction types or mock levels in the system.
  Data Entry Errors: Users may have inadvertently selected the wrong transaction type when processing payroll or financial data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transaction Type: Ensure that the transaction type you are using is indeed set to 'mocked'. You can do this by reviewing the configuration settings in the relevant module (e.g., Payroll or Financials).
  Adjust Mock Level Settings: If you need to use a mock level, make sure that it is only applied to transaction types that are intended to be mocked. If the transaction type is not meant to be mocked, remove the mock level setting.
  Review Configuration: Go through the configuration settings for the payroll or financial transaction types to ensure they are correctly set up. This may involve checking the customizing settings in SPRO or relevant transaction codes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with for any additional guidance on mock transactions and their configurations.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the transactions process as expected.
  
  Related Information:

  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary roles and authorizations to perform the actions related to mock transactions.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to SAP support or consult with a technical expert who specializes in SAP Payroll or Financial modules.
