• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DIST_EQUIP006 - Test run: No database changes will be performed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DIST_EQUIP006 Test run: No database changes will be performed typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when a test run is executed for a distribution or equipment-related transaction. This message indicates that the system is in a test mode, meaning that no actual changes will be made to the database during this run.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The most common cause of this error message is that the transaction is being executed in "test run" mode. In this mode, the system simulates the execution of the transaction without making any changes to the database.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations or settings in the system may enforce a test run for specific transactions to ensure that users can validate their actions before committing changes.
  User Authorization: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the actual transaction, leading the system to default to a test run.
  
  Solution:
  
  Execute in Real Mode: If you intend to perform the actual transaction, ensure that you are not in test run mode. Look for an option or checkbox in the transaction screen that allows you to switch from "test run" to "real execution." This is often labeled as "Execute" or "Real Run."
  Check Configuration: If the system is configured to always run in test mode, you may need to consult with your SAP administrator or technical team to adjust the settings.
  User Authorization: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction. If not, contact your system administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  Review Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are trying to execute for any additional parameters or settings that may affect the execution mode.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes related to the specific EWM processes you are working with, as they may have specific settings for test runs.

  Training and Support: If you are new to SAP EWM, consider seeking training or support from experienced colleagues or SAP consultants to better understand the system's behavior and transaction execution modes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and execute your transaction as intended.
