A simulation order enables you to see how changes to initial data (sales order, master data) affect a production order. You can use the simulation order, for example, to find errors in the material configuration. It is structured like a production order but has no effect on operations.
A simulation order is created automatically when sales orders are changed. When changes are made to master data, you can use this function to create, change and display a simulation order as required.
Note
The simulation orders created using this function do not participate in the OCM change process.
