  The SAP error message /SAPCE/FK_MES052 Payment run &1 &2 without real posting data - simulation data only typically occurs during the execution of a payment run in the SAP system. This message indicates that the payment run is being executed in simulation mode, meaning that no actual postings will be made to the financial accounts. Instead, only simulation data is being processed.
  Causes:
  
  Simulation Mode: The payment run is set to run in simulation mode. This is often done to test the payment run without affecting the actual financial data.
  Missing or Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the payment program or the parameters set for the payment run.
  No Eligible Invoices: There may not be any invoices or payment requests that meet the criteria for the payment run, leading to only simulation data being available.
  User Authorization: The user executing the payment run may not have the necessary authorizations to perform actual postings.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Payment Run Settings: Ensure that the payment run is not set to simulation mode. You can do this by checking the parameters in the payment run configuration.
