• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG190 - Insufficient number of nodes to carry out simulation ?

  The SAP error message VMP_MSG190 ("Insufficient number of nodes to carry out simulation") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Vehicle Management System (VMS) or similar modules where simulations or calculations are performed based on a network of nodes (e.g., in route planning, logistics, or supply chain scenarios).
  
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the system does not have enough nodes (or data points) to perform the required simulation. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Insufficient Data: There may not be enough data entries or nodes defined in the system for the simulation to proceed.
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the simulation might not be set up correctly, leading to a lack of nodes.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be missing or corrupted data in the relevant tables that define the nodes.
  Business Logic Constraints: The business logic may require a minimum number of nodes to perform the simulation, and if this threshold is not
