• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD798 - Identical version already stored ?

  The SAP error message AD798, which states "Identical version already stored," typically occurs when you are trying to transport or import a version of an object (like a program, function module, or other development objects) that is already present in the target system with the same version number. This can happen during transport requests or when trying to save changes to an object that has not been modified.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Version: The object you are trying to transport or save has not changed since the last time it was transported or saved, leading to an identical version being detected.
  Transport Request Issues: If the transport request is not properly configured or if there are issues with the transport directory, it may lead to this error.
  Development Environment: If multiple developers are working on the same object and one of them has already transported the latest version, others may encounter this error when trying to transport their changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Version: Verify if the object you are trying to transport has indeed been modified. If it has not, you can skip the transport.
  Recheck Transport Request: Ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and that you are not trying to transport an object that is already in the target system.
  Delete or Adjust the Version: If you are certain that you need to transport the object, you may need to delete the existing version in the target system or adjust your changes to create a new version.
  Use a Different Transport Request: If the object is part of a transport request that is already in the system, consider using a different transport request for your changes.
  Consult with Team Members: If you are working in a team, check with your colleagues to see if someone else has already transported the same changes.
