  The SAP error message RQ072 ("Record & changed") typically occurs in the context of SAP's data processing, particularly when dealing with the data transport system or when working with change requests in the SAP environment. This message indicates that a record has been modified, and it may be related to issues with data consistency or transport requests.
  Cause:
  
  Data Modification: The record in question has been changed after it was initially created or processed. This can happen if multiple users are working on the same data or if there are background processes that modify the data.
  Transport Request Issues: If the record is part of a transport request, it may have been modified in the source system after the transport request was created, leading to inconsistencies.
  Locking Issues: If the record is locked by another user or process, it may lead to this error when trying to access or modify it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Changes: Review the change logs or history for the record to understand what modifications have been made. This can help identify if the changes were intentional or accidental.
  Refresh Data: If you are working in a development or testing environment, try refreshing the data or reloading the record to ensure you are working with the most current version.
  Recreate Transport Request: If the issue is related to a transport request, consider recreating the transport request after ensuring that all necessary changes are captured.
  Coordinate with Users: If multiple users are working on the same data, coordinate with them to avoid conflicts. Implementing proper change management practices can help mitigate this issue.
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the record. If a lock is found, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who holds the lock.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE09 (Transport Organizer), SE10 (Transport Organizer for Workbench Requests), and SM12 (Display and Delete Locks).
