• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTI_CALC029 - Simulation performed for document &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message WSTI_CALC029:
  
  SAP Error Message: WSTI_CALC029
  Text: Simulation performed for document &1
  
  1. Cause
  The message WSTI_CALC029 is an informational or warning message generated during the simulation of a document in the SAP system, particularly in the context of Product Costing or Cost Object Controlling (CO-PC).
  
  It indicates that a simulation (a test run) has been performed for the specified document number (&1).
  This message typically appears when you run a costing simulation (e.g., cost estimate simulation) instead of an actual costing run.
  The system is informing you that the results you see are from a simulation and no actual postings or updates have been made to the database.
  It is not an error but a confirmation that the operation was a simulation.
  
  
  2. When does it occur?
  
  When you execute a costing run or cost estimate with the simulation flag set.
  During costing runs in transaction codes like CK11N (Create Cost Estimate), CK40N (Costing Run), or other costing-related transactions.
  When you want to check the costing results without updating the database or creating actual cost estimates.
  
  
  3. Solution / How to proceed
  
  
  If you intended to perform a simulation:
  
  No action is needed. This message confirms that the system performed a simulation and did not update any data. You can review the results and then decide whether to run the actual costing.
  
  
  If you want to perform an actual costing run (not simulation):  
  
  Make sure to uncheck the simulation flag or select the option to perform a real costing run.
  For example, in CK11N, ensure you do not select the "Simulation" checkbox.
  In CK40N, when scheduling a costing run, ensure the run is set to update the database.
  
  
  
  If you are unsure:
  
  Review the costing run parameters or consult with your controlling team to confirm whether a simulation or actual run is required.

  SAP Notes / Documentation:  
  
  This message is standard and documented in SAP Costing guides.  
  No correction or patch is needed as it is an informational message.
  
  
  
  Impact:  
  
  No data is changed during simulation.  
  Useful for testing and verifying costing logic before actual posting.
