• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CD649 - No change document positions found ?

  The SAP error message CD649 ("No change document positions found") typically occurs when you are trying to view change documents for a particular object, but the system cannot find any entries in the change document table for that object. This can happen for several reasons:
  Causes:
  
  No Changes Made: The most straightforward reason is that no changes have been made to the object in question since change documents were enabled.
  Change Document Not Activated: Change document functionality may not be activated for the specific object or table you are trying to view.
  Data Deletion: Change documents may have been deleted or archived, leading to the absence of records.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view change documents.
  Incorrect Object Type: The object type you are trying to view may not be the correct one for which change documents are maintained.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Verify Changes: Check if any changes have actually been made to the object. If not, there will be no change documents to display.
  Activate Change Documents: Ensure that change documents are activated for the relevant object. This can usually be done in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Check for Deletion/Archiving: Investigate if the change documents have been deleted or archived. You may need to restore them if they were archived.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view change documents. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  Correct Object Type: Double-check that you are querying the correct object type for which change documents are maintained.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SCDO (Change Document Objects) to check if change documents are activated for specific objects.
  Change Document Tables: Familiarize yourself with the relevant change document tables (e.g., CDPOS for change document positions and CDHDR for change document headers) to understand how change documents are stored.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to change documents and the specific object you are working with.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these aspects, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation.
