How To Fix SCWN503 - Implementation test not possible since no version data exists

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SCWN - Messages Note installation and management

• Message number: 503

• Message text: Implementation test not possible since no version data exists

What causes this issue?

You want to test whether you can use the Note Assistant to implement
the SAP Note in a customer system.

System Response

For the implementation test, the system checks whether the SAP Note can
be implemented for all Support Package levels that are valid for the
correction instructions. To do this, the system requires a version
database that contains all the object versions that are delivered in
Support Packages.
Since it takes a lot of effort to create such a database, there is not
one for each release of every software component.
There is no version database for the releases that are valid for the
SAP Note in question. The system is therefore unable to test the
implementation.

How to fix this error?

You cannot perform the test. You may still be able to implement the SAP
Note with the Note Assistant.
The following rules apply when you create the SAP Note:
Create the correction instruction directly from the corrective measure
separately for each release.
Check the correction instruction that is contained in the SAP Note for
possible conflicts.

This typically occurs in the context of SAP Solution Manager, particularly when working with Change Request Management (ChaRM) or when managing business processes.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Version Data: The primary cause of this error is that the system does not have any version data for the object (e.g., a business process, a configuration item, or a change request) that you are trying to test. This can happen if:
