  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or transaction data, such as incorrect or missing information in the planning books, key figures, or other relevant data structures.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the planning area or planning book can lead to errors during simulation.
  Locking Issues: If another user or process is locking the data that is being accessed, it can cause simulation errors.
  Resource Constraints: Insufficient resources (e.g., memory, processing power) can lead to failures during complex simulations.
  Custom Code: If there are custom enhancements or user exits that manipulate data during the simulation, they may introduce errors.
