• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR144 - Transaction & has a different original system ?

  The SAP error message NR144 indicates that a transaction has a different original system than expected. This typically occurs in scenarios involving cross-system transactions, such as when data is transferred between different SAP systems (e.g., during a system copy, data migration, or when using distributed systems).
  Cause:
  
  Cross-System Transactions: The transaction was created in a different SAP system than the one you are currently working in. This can happen if you are trying to access or modify a transaction that originated from another system.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from one system to another, the original system information may not have been correctly updated or transferred.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that are not aligned between the systems, leading to discrepancies in transaction handling.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Original System: Verify the original system of the transaction. You can do this by checking the transaction details in the SAP GUI. Ensure that you are in the correct system that corresponds to the original transaction.
  Data Consistency: If the transaction needs to be modified or accessed, ensure that the data is consistent across systems. You may need to replicate or synchronize data between systems.
  Use the Correct System: If you are trying to access a transaction from a different system, log into that specific system to perform the required actions.
  Consult with Basis Team: If you suspect that this is a configuration issue or a problem with data migration, consult with your SAP Basis team. They can help investigate the system landscape and ensure that configurations are correct.
  Transaction Re-creation: In some cases, it may be necessary to recreate the transaction in the correct system if it cannot be accessed or modified due to the original system mismatch.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to system administration, such as ST22 (Dump Analysis), SM21 (System Log), and SLG1 (Application Log), to help diagnose issues.
