• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/TO_WHR072 - Report &1 is running in test mode ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/TO_WHR072 indicates that a report is currently running in test mode. This typically means that the system is executing the report without making any actual changes to the database or system state. This is often done for validation purposes, allowing users to see what would happen if the report were run in production mode without actually executing the changes.
  Cause:
  
  Test Mode Execution: The report is being executed in test mode, which is a common practice to ensure that the logic of the report works as expected without affecting live data.
  User Settings: The user may have inadvertently set the report to run in test mode.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to run certain reports in test mode by default for safety reasons.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change Execution Mode: If you want to run the report in production mode, you need to change the execution mode from test to production. This can usually be done by:
  
  Checking the selection screen of the report for an option to switch from test mode to production mode.
  If there is a checkbox or parameter labeled "Test Run" or similar, ensure it is unchecked.
  
  
  
  Review User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to execute the report in production mode. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the specific documentation for the report you are running to understand its parameters and execution modes.
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs: If the report is running as a background job, check the job settings to ensure it is not set to run in test mode.
