• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E0184 - Changed data record was saved ?

  The SAP error message E0184, which states "Changed data record was saved," typically indicates that there was an attempt to save a data record that has been modified, but the system has detected that the record has already been changed by another user or process. This can lead to data inconsistencies or conflicts.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Updates: Multiple users or processes are trying to update the same data record simultaneously.
  Locking Issues: The record may be locked by another user or transaction, preventing the current user from saving their changes.
  Data Consistency: The system is designed to prevent overwriting changes made by others to maintain data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Refresh the Data: Before attempting to save the record again, refresh the data to ensure you have the latest version. This can often be done by reloading the screen or navigating away and back to the transaction.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) to see if another user has locked the record. If so, you may need to wait until the lock is released.
  Reapply Changes: After refreshing, reapply your changes to the record and attempt to save again.
  Communicate with Users: If you are in a multi-user environment, communicate with other users who may be working on the same data to coordinate changes.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your custom programs or workflows to manage such conflicts gracefully.
