• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO784 - Package was changed from &1 to &2 ?

  The SAP error message "FDT_CHANGE_INFO784 Package was changed from &1 to &2" typically relates to changes in the package assignment of a data element or structure in the SAP system. This message is part of the Field Data Tool (FDT) framework, which is used for managing field-related data in SAP applications.
  Cause:
  
  
  Package Change: The error indicates that the package associated with a particular object (like a data element or structure) has been changed. This could happen due to:
  
  A developer moving the object from one package to another.
  A transport request that modifies the package assignment of the object.
  Changes made in the development environment that are not yet reflected in the production environment.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production), and the package assignment was altered during this process, it can trigger this message.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Package Assignment: Verify the package assignment of the object in question. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the object in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and checking its package assignment.
  Ensuring that the package assignments are consistent across different environments (development, quality, production).
  
  
  
  Reassign Package: If the package assignment is incorrect or needs to be reverted, you can:
  
  Change the package assignment back to the original package if you have the necessary authorizations.
  Use transaction SE01 or SE09 to manage transport requests and ensure that the correct package is assigned.
  
  
  
  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all related objects are transported together and that their package assignments are consistent. This may involve checking transport logs and ensuring that all necessary objects are included in the transport request.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or support for further guidance, especially if this is part of a larger development or transport issue.
