• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VVSCITEMS004 - No items were simulated ?

  The SAP error message VVSCITEMS004: No items were simulated typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) when a simulation process is attempted, but no items meet the criteria for processing. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during pricing simulations, sales order processing, or when trying to simulate a delivery.
  Causes:
  
  No Relevant Data: The most common cause is that there are no items in the document that meet the criteria for simulation. This could be due to filters applied or the absence of relevant line items.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used for the simulation may not match any existing items. This could be due to incorrect dates, statuses, or other parameters.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow for simulation, such as being incomplete or not yet saved.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that prevent items from being included in the simulation.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or simulate certain items.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Document Items: Review the document (e.g., sales order, delivery) to ensure that there are items present and that they meet the criteria for simulation.
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria used for the simulation are correct and that they match the items you expect to see.
