• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7821 - Warning: Version was set to "SAP delivery" ?

  The SAP error message R7821, which states "Warning: Version was set to 'SAP delivery'," typically occurs in the context of transport management or version management in SAP systems. This warning indicates that the system has reverted to the standard version of an object that is delivered by SAP, rather than using a customized version that may have been created in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Request: The warning often arises when a transport request is imported, and the system finds that the object being imported is set to the SAP-delivered version instead of a customized version.
  Version Management: It can also occur if version management is enabled and the system is set to use the SAP-delivered version for certain objects.
  Development and Customization: If a developer has made changes to an object and those changes are not included in the transport request, the system may revert to the SAP-delivered version upon import.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request: Ensure that the transport request includes all necessary changes. If the customized version is not included, you may need to create a new transport request that includes the changes.
  Review Version Management: If version management is enabled, check the versions of the object in question. You can do this by using transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to see the different versions and their statuses.
  Manual Adjustment: If you need to keep your customized version, you may need to manually adjust the object to ensure that it reflects your changes rather than reverting to the SAP-delivered version.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object or module you are working with to understand the implications of using the SAP-delivered version.
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the changes in a development or quality assurance environment before moving to production.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific warning or provide additional context.
  Version Management Documentation: Familiarize yourself with SAP's version management features to better understand how to manage different versions of objects.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how the TMS works can help in managing transports and avoiding issues related to versioning.
