• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NI068 - No condition changes (change pointers) exist ?

  The SAP error message NI068 "No condition changes (change pointers) exist" typically occurs in the context of condition records and change pointers in SAP. This message indicates that the system did not find any change pointers for the specified conditions, which means that there are no changes to be processed for the condition records.
  Cause:
  
  No Changes Made: The most common cause is that there have been no changes made to the condition records that would generate change pointers.
  Change Pointer Configuration: Change pointers may not be properly configured for the relevant condition types or the relevant application area.
  Data Selection: The selection criteria used to retrieve the change pointers may not match any existing records.

  Check Condition Records: Verify that there are indeed condition records that have been changed. You can do this by checking the relevant condition tables in the SAP system.
  Review Change Pointer Settings: Ensure that change pointers are activated for the relevant condition types. This can be done in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO) under the relevant application area.

  Monitor Change Pointer Processing: Use transaction code SCDO to monitor the change pointer processing and ensure that they are being created and processed as expected.
