• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QA124 - No change documents exist ?

  The SAP error message QA124 ("No change documents exist") typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when you are trying to access change documents for a quality inspection or a related object, but the system cannot find any change documents associated with that object.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Changes Made: The most common reason for this error is that no changes have been made to the quality inspection lot or the related object since its creation. Change documents are only generated when there are modifications to the data.
  
  
  Change Document Configuration: The system may not be configured to track changes for the specific object type you are trying to access. Change document functionality must be enabled for certain objects in the system.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view change documents, leading to the error message.
  
  
  Data Deletion: If change documents were deleted or if the data was archived, the system would not be able to retrieve them.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Changes: Check if any changes have actually been made to the quality inspection lot or the related object. If no changes were made, the error is expected.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Ensure that change document tracking is enabled for the relevant object types in the system configuration. This may require assistance from a system administrator or SAP consultant.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to view change documents. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  
  
  Review Data Management: If you suspect that change documents may have been deleted or archived, consult with your SAP Basis team or data management team to investigate the data retention policies and practices.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on how change documents are managed in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like QA32 (for managing inspection lots) or QA03 (to display inspection lots) to check the status of the inspection lots.
  Change Document Tables: Change documents are typically stored in specific tables (e.g., CDPOS, CDHDR). You can query these tables to see if any records exist for the object in question.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to change document functionality in your version of SAP.
