• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VPKGUI019 - Display not supported for simulation versions ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VPKGUI019 - Display not supported for simulation versions
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to display or process a version of a production order, process order, or a similar object that is marked as a simulation version in SAP. Simulation versions are typically used for planning or testing purposes and do not support certain display or processing functions that are available for released or active versions.
  In other words, the system restricts certain operations on simulation versions because they are not considered "real" or "active" versions in the production environment.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Simulation versions are created to simulate production scenarios without affecting actual production data.
  These versions are often used in planning, costing, or testing scenarios.
  The system prevents display or processing of these versions in certain transactions or reports to avoid confusion or incorrect data handling.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the version type:
  
  Verify if the version you are trying to display or process is indeed a simulation version.
  You can check this in the order or version master data.
  
  
  
  Use appropriate transactions:
  
  Some transactions or reports do not support simulation versions.
  Use transactions or reports that explicitly support simulation versions or switch to a released/active version.
  
  
  
  Switch to a released version:
  
  If you need to display or process the order/version, use a released or active version instead of the simulation version.
  
  
  
  Adjust your process:
  
  If you are testing or simulating, use the simulation version only in the context it is intended for (e.g., planning or costing).
  Avoid using simulation versions in production-related display or processing transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult documentation or SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes or documentation for your specific SAP module (e.g., PP, PM, or PS) for any updates or patches related to simulation versions.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Simulation versions are often used in modules like Production Planning (PP), Plant Maintenance (PM), or Project System (PS).
  The error message is a safeguard to prevent incorrect processing of non-active data.
  If you are developing custom reports or interfaces, ensure they handle simulation versions appropriately.
  SAP transaction codes related to versions include:
  
  COHV (Mass processing of production orders)
  CO03 (Display production order)
  MF50 (Planning table)
  
  
  In some cases, simulation versions are created with version number 000 or a specific version indicator.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Attempting to display or process a simulation version which is not supported.
  Solution: Use a released/active version for display or processing; restrict simulation versions to planning/testing scenarios.
  Additional: Check version type and use appropriate transactions; consult SAP Notes if needed.
  
  
  If you provide the exact transaction or scenario where this error occurs, I can help with more specific guidance.
