• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHURL718 - Test run - no data is saved, internally assigned numbers are lost ?

  The SAP error message VHURL718 indicates that a test run was executed, but no data was saved, and as a result, any internally assigned numbers are lost. This typically occurs in scenarios where a process is being tested in a non-productive environment, and the system is set to simulate the execution without making any actual changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The most common cause of this error is that the transaction or process was executed in test run mode (often indicated by a checkbox or parameter in the transaction). In this mode, the system simulates the execution but does not commit any changes to the database.
  Missing Data: If the process requires certain data to be present and it is not, the system may not be able to proceed with the operation, leading to this message.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that prevent data from being saved during a test run.
  
  Solution:
  
  Execute in Production Mode: If you intend to save the data, ensure that you are not in test run mode. Look for options like "Test Run" or "Simulate" and uncheck them before executing the transaction.
  Check for Required Data: Ensure that all necessary data is available and correctly configured before running the transaction. This may involve checking master data, configuration settings, or any prerequisites for the process.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs or system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about why the data was not saved.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or process you are working with for any additional guidance on execution modes and requirements.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context of the error, you may be working with specific transaction codes related to logistics, finance, or other modules in SAP.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common problems.
  User Permissions: Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary permissions to save data in the system.
  Testing Environment: If you are working in a testing or development environment, be aware that certain configurations may differ from production, which can affect how transactions behave.
