• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH864 - Simulation mode; no database update commited ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH864 Simulation mode; no database update committed typically occurs in the context of the SAP Transportation Management System (TM) when a user is trying to execute a transaction that is in simulation mode. This means that the system is set to simulate the execution of a process without actually committing any changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The primary cause of this error is that the transaction is being executed in simulation mode. This is often done for testing purposes to see what would happen without making any actual changes to the data.
  User Settings: The user may have inadvertently set the system to run in simulation mode.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to run certain processes in simulation mode by default.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Mode: Ensure that you are not in simulation mode if you intend to make actual changes. Look for any options or settings that indicate simulation mode is active and disable it.
  Review User Settings: Check your user profile or session settings to see if there is an option that forces simulation mode. Adjust these settings as necessary.
  Execute in Real Mode: If you are using a specific transaction or report, ensure that you are executing it in the correct mode (real mode) rather than simulation mode.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for the specific transaction you are trying to execute to understand how to switch from simulation to real execution.
  Contact Support: If you are unsure how to proceed or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes related to the SAP TM module, as they may have specific settings for simulation and real execution.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue or provide additional guidance.
  Testing Environment: If you are in a testing environment, it is common to run processes in simulation mode. Ensure you are in the correct environment for your intended actions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with your intended actions in SAP TM.
