• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA291 - No changes made ?

  The SAP error message AA291 "No changes made" typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when you attempt to make changes to an asset master record, but the system determines that no actual changes were made to the data. This can happen for several reasons:
  Causes:
  
  No Data Changes: You may have attempted to save an asset record without making any actual changes to the fields. The system recognizes that the data remains unchanged.
  Field Restrictions: Certain fields may be restricted from being changed based on the asset's status or configuration settings.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the asset, leading to the system not processing the request.
  Data Locking: The asset record might be locked by another user or process, preventing any changes from being saved.
