• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2363 - Transactional simulation not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2363 indicates that transactional simulation is not allowed in the context of the operation you are trying to perform in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when you attempt to execute a simulation that is not permitted due to certain settings or configurations in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Simulation Mode Not Enabled: The system may not be configured to allow transactional simulations for the specific planning area or scenario you are working with.
  Planning Area Settings: The planning area may not be set up to allow simulations, or the specific planning object may not support simulation.
  User Authorizations: The user may lack the necessary authorizations to perform simulations in the APO system.
  System Configuration: There may be system-wide settings that restrict transactional simulations for certain operations or processes.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Planning Area Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the planning area in the APO system. Ensure that the planning area is set up to allow simulations.
  You can check this in the SAP APO configuration settings under the relevant planning area.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform simulations. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or process you are trying to execute. This may provide insights into whether simulations are supported.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide guidance based on the specific configuration and version of your SAP system.
  
  
  
  Check for System Notes:
  
  Look for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error message. Sometimes, there are patches or updates that can resolve known issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP APO that may relate to planning and simulation, such as /SAPAPO/SDP94 for demand planning or /SAPAPO/OM for order management.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums where other users may have encountered similar issues and can share their solutions or workarounds.
  Training and Documentation: Consider additional training or resources on SAP APO to better understand the simulation capabilities and limitations within the system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
