  • What causes this issue?

    When the system copies changes, it calculates the differences between
    the initial ABAP source code and the final ABAP source code in a source
    system.
    The system then attempts to add this delta to the initial source code
    in the local system (&V1&). In this case, the delta can be added.
    However, if the initial ABAP source code in the source system is
    different from the initial ABAP source code in the local system, it may
    make no sense to add the delta in the local system. This cannot be
    determined automatically.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SB348 - Changes can be copied ?

    The SAP error message SB348 ("Changes can be copied") typically occurs in the context of transport requests or when trying to copy changes from one environment to another (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production). This message indicates that there are changes in the system that have not yet been transported or that the system is in a state where it cannot proceed with the copying of changes.

    Causes:

    1. Unreleased Transport Requests: There are transport requests that have not been released, which means the changes are still in the development environment and cannot be copied to another environment.
    2. Incomplete Changes: Changes made in the system may not be complete or may be in a state that prevents them from being copied.
    3. Lock Entries: There may be lock entries in the system that are preventing the copying of changes.
    4. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the transport management system that are causing the error.

    Solutions:

    1. Release Transport Requests: Check for any transport requests that are still in the "modification" state and release them. You can do this using transaction code SE09 or SE10.
    2. Check for Incomplete Changes: Review the changes made in the system to ensure they are complete and ready for transport. If necessary, complete or finalize any pending changes.
    3. Clear Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for and clear any lock entries that may be preventing the copying of changes.
    4. Review Transport Management Configuration: Ensure that the transport management system is correctly configured. Check the transport routes and settings in transaction code STMS.
