• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/MD_AS_CUST092 - Simulation mode: No data will be updated ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/MD_AS_CUST092 indicates that the system is currently in simulation mode, which means that no actual data updates will occur during the execution of the process. This is a common scenario in SAP when users want to test or simulate a process without making any changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode Activated: The process you are trying to execute is set to run in simulation mode. This is often done to verify the results of a process without committing any changes.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to run certain transactions in simulation mode by default, especially in development or testing environments.
  User Settings: The user may have selected an option to run the transaction in simulation mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Mode Settings: Review the settings of the transaction you are executing. If you want to perform actual updates, ensure that the simulation mode is turned off.
  Transaction Parameters: Look for any parameters or options in the transaction that allow you to switch from simulation to actual execution. This may involve unchecking a "Simulation" checkbox or selecting a different execution mode.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for the specific transaction you are using to understand how to switch from simulation to actual execution.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the actual update. Sometimes, users may be restricted to simulation mode based on their roles.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Testing and Validation: Simulation mode is useful for testing and validating processes without affecting live data. It allows users to see what changes would occur if the transaction were executed in real mode.
  Development and Quality Assurance: In development or QA environments, simulation mode is often used to ensure that processes work as expected before moving to production.
  Error Handling: If you encounter this message unexpectedly, it may be worth checking with your SAP administrator or support team to understand if there are any system-wide settings affecting your ability to execute transactions.
  
  If you need further assistance, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for more specific guidance related to your environment and the transaction you are working with.
