• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PRODUCT_API077 - Product is only transported if unchanged and in active version ?

  The SAP error message COM_PRODUCT_API077 indicates that a product can only be transported if it is unchanged and in an active version. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's product management and transport system, particularly when dealing with product master data or product versions in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Unchanged Product: The product you are trying to transport has been modified since the last transport. SAP only allows the transport of products that have not been changed to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  Inactive Version: The product version you are trying to transport is not active. Only active versions of products can be transported to ensure that the latest and most relevant data is being moved between systems.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Product Status:
  
  Verify the status of the product in the SAP system. Ensure that the product is in an active state.
  You can do this by navigating to the product master data and checking the version status.
  
  
  
  Review Changes:
  
  If the product has been modified, you may need to revert the changes or ensure that the product is in a state that has not been altered since the last transport.
  If necessary, you can create a new version of the product that reflects the changes you want to make.
  
  
  
  Activate the Product Version:
  
  If the product version is inactive, you will need to activate it. This can typically be done through the product management transaction codes or relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  Once the product is confirmed to be unchanged and in an active version, you can proceed with the transport request again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
