  The SAP error message PAD_NL_PENS_MSG014, which states "Data not changed (Infotype &1)," typically occurs when you attempt to save changes to an infotype in the SAP system, but the system detects that the data you are trying to save is identical to the existing data. This can happen in various infotypes related to personnel administration, such as infotypes for employee data, payroll, or benefits.
  Cause:
  
  No Changes Made: The most common cause is that the user has not made any actual changes to the data in the infotype. The system checks the current data against the new data being submitted and finds them to be the same.

  Solution:
  
  Verify Changes: Double-check the data you are trying to save. Ensure that you have made actual changes to the fields in the infotype.
  Re-enter Data: If you believe you have made changes, try re-entering the data to ensure that it is different from the existing data.
  Check for Validity: Ensure that the data you are entering is valid and meets any required formats or constraints set by the system.
  Review Configuration: If you are an administrator or have access to configuration settings, review the infotype configuration to ensure that it allows for the changes you are trying to make.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific infotype details and requirements.
