• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PI_APPL161 - No errors occurred while posting (test mode) in system &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PI_APPL161 indicates that the system is in test mode and no errors occurred while attempting to post a document. This message is typically seen in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Test Mode: The primary cause of this message is that the system is configured to run in test mode. In this mode, the system simulates the posting process without actually committing any changes to the database. This is useful for testing purposes but can lead to confusion if users expect actual postings to occur.
  Configuration Settings: The system settings may be configured to run certain transactions in test mode, which can be a part of the overall system configuration or specific to the user session.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Switch to Production Mode: If you want to perform actual postings, you need to ensure that the system is not in test mode. This can typically be done by:
  
  Checking the transaction settings or user parameters.
  Ensuring that the relevant configuration settings in the EWM system are set to allow for actual postings.
  If you are using a specific transaction code, check if there is an option to switch from test mode to production mode.
  
  
  
  Review User Settings: Sometimes, user-specific settings can cause the system to default to test mode. Review your user profile and settings to ensure that they are configured correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are using to understand how to switch modes or to find additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide guidance based on your specific system configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes related to EWM and their respective modes (test vs. production).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error message or provide additional context.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the differences between test and production modes to avoid confusion in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and perform the necessary postings in your SAP EWM system.
