• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM215 - Version copy is running in test mode ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM215 indicates that a version copy operation in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module is currently running in test mode. This means that the system is simulating the version copy process without actually making any changes to the data. 
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  The version copy process is initiated in test mode, which is often used for validation purposes before executing the actual copy.
  The user may have selected the test mode option inadvertently or the system is configured to run in test mode.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Execution Mode:
  
  Ensure that you are not running the version copy in test mode if you intend to perform an actual copy. Look for any options or parameters that specify the execution mode.
  
  
  
  Change to Production Mode:
  
  If you want to perform the actual version copy, you need to change the execution mode from test to production. This can usually be done in the transaction or program where you initiate the version copy.
  
  
  
  Review the Configuration:
  
  If the system is set to always run in test mode, you may need to review the configuration settings or consult with your SAP Basis or APO administrator to adjust the settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to version management in APO for specific instructions on how to change the execution mode.
  
  
  
  Run the Process Again:
