• SAP Error Message:
  VN143 - This is simulation only
  
  
  Cause:
  The message VN143 - "This is simulation only" appears during the processing of vendor invoice documents in SAP, specifically when the system is running in simulation mode (also known as test run or test mode). This mode allows users to simulate the posting of an invoice without actually updating the database or financial records.
  In other words, the system is configured to perform a test run of the invoice posting, so no real posting occurs. This is useful for verifying the correctness of the document before actual posting.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you execute transaction MIRO (Enter Incoming Invoice) or similar invoice posting transactions with the Test Run checkbox selected.
  During simulation runs in invoice verification or logistics invoice verification processes.
  When the system is set to simulate postings for training, testing, or validation purposes.
