• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCWN351 - Some corrections already exist; see change display ?

  The SAP error message SCWN351 ("Some corrections already exist; see change display") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) when you are trying to create or modify a transport request that already has some corrections or changes associated with it. This message indicates that there are existing changes that need to be reviewed before proceeding.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Corrections: The transport request you are trying to work with already contains some corrections or changes that have been made previously.
  Inconsistent State: The system may be in an inconsistent state where the changes are not properly reflected or need to be reviewed.
  Multiple Users: If multiple users are working on the same transport request, it can lead to conflicts or overlapping changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Change Display: 
  
  Go to the transport request in question and check the change display to see what corrections already exist. You can do this by using transaction code SE09 or SE10.
  Look for any existing objects or changes that are already included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Transport Request:
  
  If you find that the existing corrections are not needed, you can remove them from the transport request.
  If the corrections are necessary, ensure that you are not duplicating changes and proceed with the necessary modifications.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that there are no locks on the transport request that might be preventing you from making changes. You can check for locks using transaction code SM12.
  
  
  
  Consult with Team Members:
  
  If you are working in a team, communicate with your colleagues to ensure that no one else is making conflicting changes to the same transport request.
  
  
  
  Use Transport Organizer:
  
  If you are unsure about the changes, you can use the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09/SE10) to get a clearer view of the transport requests and their statuses.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to the transport request for future reference and to avoid confusion among team members.
