Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHFND_VERSIONING007 - Revision "&1" and the new revision that you want to create are identical ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHFND_VERSIONING007 indicates that you are trying to create a new revision of an object (such as a business object or a configuration) that is identical to the existing revision. This typically occurs in the context of version management in SAP, where the system checks for changes between revisions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The new revision you are attempting to create has not been modified in any way compared to the existing revision.
  The system detects that the content of the new revision is the same as the current one, which makes creating a new revision unnecessary.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Changes: Review the object you are trying to revise and ensure that there are actual changes made. If there are no changes, you do not need to create a new revision.
  
  
  Modify the Object: If you intended to make changes, ensure that you modify the object appropriately before attempting to create a new revision again.
  
  
  Use Existing Revision: If the existing revision is sufficient for your needs, you can continue using it without creating a new one.
  
  
  Version Management Settings: If you are working with version management settings, ensure that your configuration allows for the creation of new revisions only when there are actual changes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process or the specific object you are working with, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to version management for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Version Management: Understand how version management works in SAP, including how revisions are tracked and what constitutes a change.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this error or provide additional context or solutions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to version management, such as SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary), depending on the object type you are working with.
  
  By ensuring that you are making meaningful changes to the object, you can avoid this error and successfully create new revisions as needed.
