• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PSPP_DPP008 - Deletion: Simulation Mode - No Data Update ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PSPP_DPP008 indicates that a deletion operation is being attempted in simulation mode, which means that no actual data updates will occur. This message is typically encountered in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when working with demand planning or supply network planning.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The operation is being executed in simulation mode, which is intended for testing purposes. In this mode, the system does not perform any actual data changes, and thus, the deletion cannot be processed.
  Incorrect Settings: The settings for the planning run or the transaction may be configured to run in simulation mode instead of the actual mode.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to perform the deletion in the actual mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Actual Mode: If you intend to perform a real deletion, ensure that you are running the transaction in actual mode rather than simulation mode. This can usually be done by changing the settings in the planning run or transaction.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the planning run to ensure that it is set up correctly for actual data updates.
  User Authorization: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform deletion operations. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to adjust the permissions.
  Testing: If you are testing the deletion process, you can continue in simulation mode to analyze the results without affecting the actual data.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant transaction codes in SAP APO that may be related to planning runs, such as /SAPAPO/DP for demand planning or /SAPAPO/SNP for supply network planning.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
  Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for APO to understand the implications of simulation mode and how to properly configure planning runs.
