• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WPS01104 - Data was not posted to database (test run) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WPS01104 – Data was not posted to database (test run)
  
  Cause:
  This message appears during a test run of a process (often in Payroll, Personnel Administration, or other HR-related transactions) where the system simulates the posting of data but does not actually write the data to the database. The message is informational and indicates that the current run is a test or simulation, so no real data changes have been made.
  In other words, the system is telling you that the operation was executed in test mode, and therefore, no data was saved.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you execute a transaction or report with the Test Run option selected.
  Common in payroll runs, personnel actions, or other HR processes where you want to verify results before actual posting.
  It is a standard message to confirm that the system did not commit changes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  If you want to post data:
  
  Run the transaction or report without the Test Run option. This means you should uncheck or deselect the "Test Run" checkbox or parameter before executing the process.
  
  
  If you only want to simulate:
  
  No action is needed. This message is expected and confirms that no data was posted.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is not an error or a problem; it is an informational message.
  It helps prevent accidental data changes during testing.
  In payroll, for example, you often run a test payroll to check results before the actual payroll posting.
  Always ensure you understand whether you want a test run or an actual posting before executing the process.
