• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPQUERY/BC_GLOBAL022 - No update (no change made) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPQUERY/BC_GLOBAL022 No update (no change made) typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or when working with data updates in SAP systems. This message indicates that an attempt to update a record was made, but no actual changes were detected, leading to the update being aborted.
  Cause:
  
  No Changes Detected: The most common cause of this error is that the data being submitted for update is identical to the existing data in the database. Since there are no changes, the system does not perform an update.

  Check Data for Changes: Verify the data being submitted for update. Ensure that there are actual changes compared to the existing records in the database.
