• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AUT055 - No change document object registered for selected table ?

  The SAP error message AUT055 ("No change document object registered for selected table") typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a change document for a table that does not have a change document object associated with it. Change documents in SAP are used to track changes made to certain database tables, and not all tables are set up to support this functionality.
  Cause:
  
  No Change Document Object: The table you are trying to work with does not have a change document object defined in the system.
  Incorrect Table: You may be trying to access a table that is not intended for change document tracking.
  Configuration Issues: The change document object may not have been properly configured or activated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Change Document Object:
  
  Verify if the table you are working with has an associated change document object. You can do this by checking the table's definition in the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  If the table is supposed to have change documents, ensure that the change document object is correctly defined and activated.
  
  
  
  Create Change Document Object:
  
  If the table does not have a change document object and you need to track changes, you may need to create one. This can be done using transaction SCDO (Change Document Objects).
  Define the change document object and link it to the relevant table.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods:
  
  If change documents are not necessary for your use case, consider using other methods to track changes, such as triggers or application logs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team to understand the implications of enabling change documents for specific tables.
