• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE136 - No differences found -> Table & was not changed ?

  The SAP error message KE136 ("No differences found -> Table & was not changed") typically occurs in the context of the Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with the transfer of data between different environments or when trying to execute a report or transaction that involves data comparison or updates.
  Cause:
  
  No Changes Detected: The primary reason for this error is that the system has determined that there are no differences between the data in the source and target tables. This can happen if the data you are trying to update or compare has not changed since the last time the operation was performed.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used for the operation may not match any records, leading to no changes being detected.
  Data Locking: If the data is locked by another process or user, it may prevent changes from being made, resulting in this message.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the controlling area or related settings that prevent the expected changes from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Data Changes: Check if there are indeed changes in the data that you expect to be processed. If no changes have occurred, then this message is expected and can be ignored.
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria you are using for the operation are correct and that they match the records you intend to process.
  Check for Locks: Investigate if there are any locks on the data that might be preventing changes. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks.
  Re-run the Process: If you believe there should be changes, try re-running the process after confirming that the data has been updated in the source system.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or report you are using to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, check the configuration settings in the controlling area to ensure everything is set up correctly.
