• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VPK1108 - Project &1 does not exist in simulation version &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VPK1108: Project &1 does not exist in simulation version &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to access or perform an operation on a project in a specific simulation version, but the project does not exist or is not assigned to that simulation version.
  
  Project &1: The project number or ID you are trying to access.
  Simulation version &2: The simulation version in which you are trying to find the project.
  
  In SAP Project System (PS) or Investment Management (IM) scenarios, simulation versions are used to simulate different budget or planning scenarios without affecting the actual data. Each simulation version can have its own set of projects or project versions.
  The error indicates that the project you are referencing is not available or not created in the specified simulation version.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  The project has not been created or copied into the simulation version &2.
  The simulation version &2 does not include the project &1.
  You might be using an incorrect simulation version or project number.
  The project exists only in the standard version (usually version 000) but not in the simulation version.
  Data inconsistencies or missing transport of project data into the simulation version.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check the Simulation Version:
  
  Verify that the simulation version &2 is correct and active.
  Use transaction CJ20N or relevant project transaction to check the simulation version.
  
  
  
  Create or Copy the Project into the Simulation Version:
  
  If the project does not exist in the simulation version, you need to copy it from the standard version (usually 000) or create it directly in the simulation version.
  Use transaction CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJ30 (Create Simulation Version) to copy or create projects in simulation versions.
  
  
  
  Assign the Project to the Simulation Version:
  
  Ensure that the project is assigned to the simulation version in the system.
  You can check this in the project version or simulation version settings.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Sometimes, the error might be due to insufficient authorization to access the project in the simulation version.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks or use report programs to verify that the project data is consistent across versions.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to simulation versions and projects.

  Simulation Versions in SAP PS/IM:
  
  Simulation versions allow you to simulate different budget or planning scenarios without affecting the actual data. They are often used in investment management and project budgeting.
  
  
  Transactions:
  
  CJ20N - Project Builder (to create and manage projects and versions)
  CJ30 - Create Simulation Version
  CJ31 - Change Simulation Version
  CJ32 - Display Simulation Version
