  The SAP error message 1X057 ("No change documents are created for structures of this structure type") typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a data structure in SAP that does not support change document logging. Change documents are used to track changes made to certain data objects in the system, and not all structures are configured to have change documents.
  Cause:
  
  Structure Type: The structure you are working with is not defined to support change documents. This is often the case for custom structures or certain standard structures that are not intended to have change tracking.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the specific structure type may not have been set up to enable change document creation.
  Data Model: The data model may not require change documents for the specific structure type, leading to this error when attempting to create or modify records.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Structure Definition: Verify the definition of the structure in transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary). Ensure that the structure is intended to support change documents.
  Enable Change Document Logging: If you need change documents for this structure, you may need to modify the structure definition to enable change document logging. This typically involves:
  
  Going to the relevant table or structure in SE11.
  Checking the "Change Document" checkbox if available.
  Ensuring that the necessary fields are marked for change document logging.
