• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CL005 - No changes were made ?

  The SAP error message CL005 ("No changes were made") typically occurs when you attempt to save a change in a classification or master data record, but the system detects that no actual changes were made to the data. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with classification data, material master records, or other similar objects.
  Causes:
  
  No Modifications: The most common cause is that the user attempted to save a record without making any changes. This can happen if the user opens a record, views it, and then tries to save it without modifying any fields.
  Unintentional Save: Sometimes, users may inadvertently click the save button without making any changes.
  Data Validation: The system may have validation rules that prevent changes from being saved if certain conditions are not met, leading to the perception that no changes were made.
