• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CUM/MSG104 - No changes were made ?

  The SAP error message /CUM/MSG104 No changes were made typically occurs during a process where changes are expected to be made, such as during a transport request or when trying to modify a configuration or data. This message indicates that the system did not detect any changes to be saved or processed.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Changes Detected: The most common cause is that the system did not find any changes to the objects or data you were trying to modify. This can happen if the changes were not saved properly or if the same operation was attempted multiple times without any actual modifications.
  
  
  Transport Request Issues: If you are working with transport requests, it may indicate that the request is empty or that the objects you intended to transport have not been included.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes, leading to the system not processing any changes.
  
  
  System Locking: If another user or process is currently using the same object, it may prevent changes from being made.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify Changes: Double-check the changes you intended to make. Ensure that you have actually modified the data or configuration before attempting to save or transport.
  
  
  Check Transport Request: If applicable, ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and that the necessary objects are included. You may need to add objects manually if they were not included.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make the changes. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your permissions.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the objects you are trying to modify. If there are locks, you may need to wait for the other user or process to complete.
  
  
  System Logs: Review system logs or the application log (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about why no changes were made.
  
  
  Re-attempt the Operation: After verifying the above points, try to perform the operation again to see if the issue persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE01 (Transport Organizer), SE09 (Workbench Organizer), and SE10 (Transport Organizer for Customizing) for managing transport requests.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the error message. You can search for specific notes using the SAP Support Portal.
