  SAP Message: WEBFI_MASTER113
  Text: This is a test run only
  
  Cause:
  The message WEBFI_MASTER113 with the text "This is a test run only" typically appears during the execution of a process or transaction in SAP that supports a test run (simulation) mode. This means the system is currently running the process in a simulation mode to check for errors or results without making any actual changes to the database.
  This message is informational and not an error. It indicates that the process you are running is in test mode, so no real postings or updates have been made yet.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During posting runs or batch jobs where a test run option is selected.
  When you execute financial postings, master data changes, or interface runs in simulation mode.
  In scenarios involving SAP Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM), SAP Treasury, or other financial modules where test runs are common.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  If you intend to perform a test run:
  
  No action is needed. This message confirms that the system is only simulating the process without posting any data.
  
  
  If you want to perform the actual posting or update:
  
  Rerun the process without selecting the test run option or simulation mode. This will allow the system to post the data or make the changes permanently.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Test runs are useful for validating data and processes before actual execution.
  Always review the results of the test run carefully to ensure no errors or warnings are present.
  In many SAP transactions, the test run checkbox or flag is explicitly available (e.g., in payment runs, batch input sessions, or mass changes).
  If you are unsure whether you are running a test or actual run, check the selection screen or process parameters.
  This message is not an error but a standard informational message to prevent confusion.
