• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GU621 - No changes to be performed ?

  The SAP error message GU621 ("No changes to be performed") typically occurs in the context of transport requests or when trying to make changes to certain objects in the SAP system. This message indicates that the system has detected that there are no changes to be made, which can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  No Changes Detected: The most common reason for this error is that the system has not detected any changes in the objects you are trying to transport or modify.
  Transport Request Issues: If you are working with transport requests, it may be that the request is already released or that the objects have already been included in another transport request.
  Incorrect Object Selection: You may be trying to modify or transport objects that do not require any changes or that have not been modified since the last transport.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, lack of proper authorizations can lead to this message, as the system may not allow you to make changes.
  System Configuration: Certain system settings or configurations may prevent changes from being applied.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Changes: Verify that the objects you are trying to modify or transport have indeed been changed. You can do this by checking the change logs or the object history.
  Review Transport Requests: If you are working with transport requests, ensure that the request is not already released and that the objects are not included in another request.
  Recreate the Transport Request: If necessary, you can create a new transport request and include the objects again to ensure they are captured correctly.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the objects in question. Consult with your SAP security team if needed.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific objects or transactions you are working with to ensure there are no known issues or additional steps required.
