  The SAP error message /PRA/EF037 No Changes have been Made typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when a user attempts to save or submit changes in a transaction or process, but the system detects that no actual changes were made to the data. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to update records, submit forms, or save configurations.
  Causes:
  
  No Data Modification: The most common cause is that the user did not make any changes to the data fields. The system checks for changes and finds none.

  Check for Validation Errors: Look for any validation messages or errors that may indicate why the changes were not accepted.
  Refresh the Screen: Sometimes, refreshing the screen or reloading the transaction can help in recognizing the changes.
  Log Out and Log Back In: If the issue persists, logging out of the SAP system and logging back in can sometimes resolve session-related issues.
