How To Fix SB348 - Changes can be copied

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SB - Version Management Messages

• Message number: 348

• Message text: Changes can be copied

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.
