• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REMI50012 - Execution mode: simulation (data is not changed) ?

  The SAP error message REMI50012 indicates that the system is in "simulation mode," meaning that the execution of the transaction or process is being simulated and no actual changes are being made to the data. This is a common scenario in SAP when users want to test or validate processes without affecting the live data.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The most common cause of this error is that the transaction or report is being executed in simulation mode. This is often done to check the results of a process without committing any changes to the database.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations or parameters in the transaction might be set to run in simulation mode by default.
  User Input: The user may have inadvertently selected an option to run the process in simulation mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Execution Mode: If you want to execute the transaction for real and make changes to the data, look for an option or checkbox that allows you to switch from simulation mode to actual execution mode. This might be labeled as "Execute," "Real Execution," or similar.
  Review Transaction Parameters: Check the parameters or settings of the transaction you are executing. Ensure that there are no flags set for simulation.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the specific SAP documentation for the transaction you are using to understand how to properly execute it in the desired mode.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to execute the transaction in a non-simulation mode.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The specific transaction code you are using may have its own nuances regarding simulation and execution modes. Familiarize yourself with the transaction's documentation.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to the specific transaction or error message.
  Testing Environment: If you are in a testing environment, it may be configured to always run in simulation mode to prevent accidental changes to test data.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the error persists despite following the above steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP administrator or support team for further assistance.
