• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCWN036 - No previous change exists ?

  The SAP error message SCWN036 ("No previous change exists") typically occurs in the context of change management or transport management within the SAP system. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a previous change or version of an object that you are trying to revert or compare against.
  Cause:
  
  No Previous Version: The object you are trying to access does not have a previous version or change recorded in the system.
  Transport Request Issues: The transport request may not have been properly created or released, leading to a lack of historical data.
