• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSISSO042 - No changes necessary ?

  The SAP error message PSISSO042: No changes necessary typically occurs in the context of project system (PS) or related modules when you attempt to make changes to a project or a related object, but the system determines that no changes are required. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the context is key to resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Modifications Made: The most straightforward reason is that the changes you are trying to make are identical to the current state of the project or object. The system recognizes that there is nothing new to update.
  
  
  Status of the Project: The project or WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) element may be in a status that does not allow changes. For example, if the project is already completed or locked, the system will not allow modifications.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes, leading to the system not processing the request.
  
  
  Data Consistency: If the data you are trying to change is inconsistent or violates business rules, the system may reject the changes.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify Changes: Double-check the changes you are trying to make. Ensure that they are indeed different from the current values. If they are the same, no action is needed.
  
  
  Check Project Status: Review the status of the project or WBS element. If it is in a status that does not allow changes (like "Completed" or "Locked"), you may need to change the status or consult with a project manager.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to review and adjust your authorizations.
  
  
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data you are trying to input is valid and does not violate any business rules or constraints set in the system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the specific project or WBS element, refer to the project documentation or consult with a colleague who is familiar with the project.
