• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5K709 - Test mode. Records not committed to database ?

  The SAP error message 5K709 indicates that the system is currently in "test mode," which means that any changes or records you attempt to create or modify will not be committed to the database. This is a common scenario in SAP environments where testing is performed to ensure that processes work correctly before making any permanent changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Test Mode Activation: The system is set to run in test mode, which is often used during development or testing phases to prevent accidental changes to production data.

  Solution:
  
  Switch to Production Mode: If you are in a test environment and want to commit changes, you need to switch to production mode. This typically involves changing the settings in the transaction or program you are using.
  Check Transaction Parameters: Review the parameters of the transaction you are executing. Some transactions have options to run in test mode or production mode. Ensure that you are not inadvertently selecting test mode.
