• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM586 - You can only process data IDocs in simulated form in the Warehouse ?

  The SAP error message RSM586 indicates that you are trying to process IDocs in a way that is not allowed in the current context, specifically in the Warehouse Management (WM) module. This error typically arises when you attempt to process IDocs that are not in the correct state or when the system is configured to only allow simulation of IDoc processing.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The system is set to simulate IDoc processing, which means it will not execute any actual data changes. This is often used for testing purposes.
  Configuration Settings: The Warehouse Management system may be configured to only allow certain types of IDoc processing or may have restrictions based on the current state of the warehouse.
  IDoc Status: The IDoc you are trying to process may not be in a status that allows for actual processing (e.g., it may be in a "not processed" or "error" state).
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to process IDocs in the warehouse.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the Warehouse Management module to ensure that IDoc processing is enabled and that the system is not set to simulation mode.
  Change Processing Mode: If you are in a testing environment, you may need to switch to a production mode or adjust the settings to allow for actual processing of IDocs.
  Review IDoc Status: Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to check the status of the IDoc. If it is in an error state, you may need to correct the issues and reprocess it.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to process the IDoc has the necessary authorizations. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to IDoc processing in Warehouse Management for any specific configurations or known issues.
