• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADW081 - & lines were changed ?

  The SAP error message ADW081 typically indicates that there is a discrepancy between the data in the system and the data that is being processed or updated. This error often occurs in the context of data changes in the system, particularly when dealing with data records that have been modified by another user or process since they were last read.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Changes: The most common cause of the ADW081 error is that the data you are trying to update has been changed by another user or process after you retrieved it for editing.
  Data Locking: If the data is locked by another transaction or user, you may encounter this error when trying to save your changes.
  Inconsistent Data State: The data may have been altered in a way that violates business rules or constraints, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Refresh Data: Before making changes, refresh the data to ensure you are working with the most current version. This can often be done by reloading the transaction or screen.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the data you are trying to modify. If another user has locked the data, you may need to wait until they release it.
  Reapply Changes: If you receive the error after attempting to save, you may need to reapply your changes after refreshing the data.
  Conflict Resolution: If multiple users are working on the same data, establish a protocol for conflict resolution to avoid simultaneous edits.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for specific guidance related to your system configuration.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (to check locks), SM21 (to view system logs), and ST22 (to check for dumps).
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to handle concurrent data changes and the importance of refreshing data before making updates.
