• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES058 - Simulation mode run; no database update for the period from &1 to &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES058 indicates that a simulation mode run was executed, and as a result, no database updates were made for the specified period. This message is typically encountered in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when users are trying to simulate transportation planning or rate calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The primary cause of this error message is that the system is set to run in simulation mode. In this mode, the system performs calculations and generates results without making any changes to the database. This is useful for testing and validation purposes.
  Date Range: The message specifies a date range (&1 to &2), indicating that the simulation was run for a specific period. If the user expected changes to be made during this period, they may be confused by the lack of updates.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to always run in simulation mode for certain transactions or processes, which can lead to this message being displayed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Settings: If you intended to perform an actual update rather than a simulation, ensure that the settings or parameters for the transaction are configured to allow for a non-simulation run. This may involve changing a flag or parameter in the transaction or process you are executing.
  Review Transaction Parameters: When executing the transaction, check if there is an option to toggle between simulation and actual execution. Make sure you select the correct option for your needs.
  Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or help files for the specific transaction you are using to understand how to switch from simulation mode to actual execution.
  Testing: If you are testing a new configuration or process, continue using simulation mode until you are confident in the results, then switch to actual execution for final runs.
  
  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 SAP TM.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes related to transportation planning and rate calculations in SAP TM, as they may have specific settings for simulation.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that your user role has the necessary authorizations to perform actual updates in the system, as restrictions may also lead to confusion regarding simulation versus actual runs.
