• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPQUERY/BC_GLOBAL345 - Data not changed, no update ?

  The SAP error message /SAPQUERY/BC_GLOBAL345 Data not changed, no update typically occurs when an attempt is made to update a record in the database, but the system determines that there are no changes to the data being submitted. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when using transaction codes that involve data updates or when working with queries.
  Causes:
  
  No Changes Made: The most common cause is that the data being submitted for update is identical to the existing data in the database. SAP recognizes that there are no changes to apply.
  Incorrect Logic in Custom Code: If there is custom ABAP code involved, it may not be correctly identifying changes to the data.
  Buffering Issues: Sometimes, data may be buffered, and the system may not recognize changes due to caching.
  User Authorization: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes, leading to the system not processing the update.
  Data Locking: If the data is locked by another user or process, the update may not proceed.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Verify Data Changes: Ensure that the data you are trying to update has indeed changed. You can compare the current values in the database with the values you are trying to submit.
  Check Custom Code: If you are using custom ABAP programs or enhancements, review the logic to ensure it correctly identifies changes to the data.
  Clear Buffer: If you suspect buffering issues, you can try clearing the buffer or refreshing the data to ensure the latest values are being processed.
  Review Authorizations: Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the update. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the data you are trying to update. If there are locks, you may need to wait for them to be released or contact the user who has locked the data.
