• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RE047 - There are no change documents ?

  The SAP error message RE047 ("There are no change documents") typically occurs in the context of the Real Estate Management (RE) module when a user attempts to access change documents for a specific object (like a contract, property, or tenant) 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 object in question since the change document functionality was activated.
  Change Document Not Activated: Change document logging may not be activated for the specific object type or the relevant configuration settings may not be properly set.
  Data Deletion: Change documents may have been deleted or purged from the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view change documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Change Document Activation:
  
  Ensure that change document logging is activated for the relevant object type in the configuration settings. This can typically be checked in the customizing settings of the RE module.
  
  
  
  Verify Changes:
  
  Confirm that changes have indeed been made to the object. If no changes have been made, there will be no change documents to display.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to view change documents. This can be done by reviewing the user's roles and authorizations in the system.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you suspect that change documents have been deleted or purged, consult with your SAP Basis team to check the database and see if the change documents are still available.
  
  
  
  Check for System Notes:
  
  Look for any system notes or logs that might indicate issues with change document generation or logging.
