  The SAP error message RIN005, which states "Activation has been cancelled. Continue in simulation mode," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) modules. This error indicates that the system was unable to activate a planning run or a similar process, and as a result, it is continuing in simulation mode instead of executing the actual changes.
  Causes:
  
  Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the data being processed, such as missing or incorrect master data, transaction data, or configuration settings.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect settings in the planning area, planning levels, or key figures can lead to activation failures.

  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the process has the necessary authorizations to perform the activation.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the failure.
