• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PE704 - No changes to be saved ?

  The SAP error message PE704 "No changes to be saved" typically occurs when you attempt to save a record in a transaction or application, but the system detects that there are no actual changes made to the data. This can happen in various contexts, such as when editing master data, transaction data, or configuration settings.
  Causes:
  
  No Modifications Made: The most common reason is that the user has not made any changes to the data fields. The system recognizes that the data is the same as it was before the attempt to save.
  Data Validation: Sometimes, the system may have validation rules that prevent saving if certain conditions are not met, leading to the impression that no changes were made.
  User Interface Issues: Occasionally, the user interface may not reflect changes due to caching or display issues, leading to confusion.
  Authorization Issues: If a user does not have the necessary permissions to make changes, the system may not allow saving, even if changes were attempted.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Verify Changes: Ensure that you have actually made changes to the fields you intended to modify. Check for any fields that may not have been updated.
  Check for Required Fields: Make sure that all required fields are filled out correctly. If any mandatory fields are missing or invalid, the system may not allow saving.
  Refresh the Screen: If you suspect a display issue, try refreshing the screen or logging out and back into the system to see if the changes are recognized.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes in the transaction or application you are working with. If not, contact your system administrator for assistance.
