• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_CON_CACHE154 - Simulation mode activated ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_CON_CACHE154 with the description "Simulation mode activated" typically occurs in the context of the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). This message indicates that the system is currently in simulation mode, which means that certain operations or processes are being executed in a non-production environment, allowing users to test configurations or processes without affecting live data.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode Activation: The system is set to run in simulation mode, which is often used for testing purposes. This can be intentional or due to a configuration setting.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the TMS configuration may have been adjusted to enable simulation mode for specific processes or transactions.
  User Role or Authorization: The user executing the transaction may have limited permissions that restrict them from executing certain actions in live mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the TMS configuration settings to determine if simulation mode is intentionally activated. If it is not needed, you can switch it back to live mode.
  User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to execute the transaction in live mode. If not, you may need to adjust the user roles or permissions.
  Transaction Settings: If you are using a specific transaction or report, check if there are parameters or options that allow you to switch from simulation to live mode.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to manage simulation settings in TMS.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional context on simulation mode in TMS.
