Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFB107 - Data has been changed; save first ?

  The SAP error message CFB107 ("Data has been changed; save first") typically occurs when you attempt to perform an action in SAP that requires the data to be saved first, but the system detects that the data has been modified since the last save. This is a common issue in SAP environments where multiple users may be accessing and modifying the same data.
  Cause:
  
  Unsaved Changes: You have made changes to a document or data entry but have not saved those changes before trying to perform another action (like navigating away, executing a transaction, or running a report).
  Concurrent Modifications: Another user may have modified the same data, and the system is prompting you to save your changes to avoid data loss or conflicts.
  Session Timeout: If your session has timed out or if there are issues with your connection, the system may not recognize your changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Save Your Changes: The most straightforward solution is to save your current changes. Look for the "Save" button (usually represented by a disk icon) and click it to save your data.
  Review Changes: Before saving, review the changes you made to ensure they are correct and do not conflict with other users' changes.
  Refresh the Data: If you suspect that the data has been changed by another user, you may want to refresh the data to see the latest version before saving.
  Check for Locks: If you are working in a multi-user environment, check if the data is locked by another user. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to view and manage locks.
  Log Out and Log Back In: If the issue persists, logging out of the SAP system and logging back in can sometimes resolve session-related issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SM12: To check for locks on the data.
  SE11: To view the data dictionary and understand the structure of the data you are working with.
  
  
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly save their work and understand the implications of concurrent data access.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common problems.
