  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MGV026 - Data was changed. Save your entries. ?

    The SAP error message MGV026 ("Data was changed. Save your entries.") typically occurs in the context of inventory management or material management when there is a conflict between the data being processed and the data that has been changed by another user or process. This can happen in various transactions, such as when updating material master data, inventory levels, or during goods movements.

    Cause:

    1. Concurrent Changes: Another user or process has modified the data you are trying to save after you retrieved it but before you attempted to save your changes.
    2. Data Locking: The system may have locked the data for editing, and your changes are conflicting with the current state of the data.

    Solution:

    1. Refresh the Data: Before saving your entries, refresh the data to ensure you are working with the most current version. You can do this by navigating away from the screen and returning or by using the refresh button.
    2. Re-enter Your Changes: After refreshing, re-enter your changes and try to save again.
    3. Check for Locks: If you suspect that another user is editing the same data, check for any locks on the data. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to view and manage locks.
    4. Communicate with Users: If you are in a multi-user environment, communicate with other users to ensure that no one else is making conflicting changes.
