• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KS085 - No changes exist ?

  The SAP error message KS085 ("No changes exist") typically occurs in the context of cost center accounting or internal orders when you are trying to make changes to a cost object, but the system indicates that there are no changes to be made.

  Causes:
  
  No Modifications Made: You may be attempting to save or process a cost object without making any actual changes. The system recognizes that there are no new inputs or modifications to save.
  Incorrect Transaction: You might be in a transaction that is not applicable for the current state of the cost object.

  Check for Changes: Ensure that you have made actual changes to the cost object before trying to save or process it. If no changes are needed, you can simply exit the transaction.
  Review Transaction Steps: Make sure you are following the correct steps for the transaction you are trying to execute. Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for guidance.
