• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/CENTRALDATA104 - There are no changes to be saved ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/CENTRALDATA104: There are no changes to be saved typically occurs in the context of the SAP Business One or SAP Business ByDesign systems when a user attempts to save data or changes in a specific module or transaction, but the system detects that no actual changes have been made to the data.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Modifications Made: The most common cause of this error is that the user has not made any changes to the data they are trying to save. This could happen if the user opens a record, views it, and then attempts to save without making any modifications.
  
  
  Unintentional Data Entry: Sometimes, users may think they have made changes (like entering data in a field) but may not have actually modified the data (e.g., entering the same value that was already there).
  
  
  System Logic: The system may have built-in logic that prevents saving if it determines that the data is unchanged, which is a safeguard against unnecessary database writes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Changes: Ensure that you have made actual changes to the data. Check all fields to confirm that at least one field has been modified.
  
  
  Re-enter Data: If you believe you have made changes, try re-entering the data in the fields to ensure that the system recognizes the modifications.
  
  
  Check for Required Fields: Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly. Sometimes, if required fields are not filled, the system may not allow saving.
  
  
  Refresh the Screen: If you suspect that the system is not recognizing your changes, try refreshing the screen or closing and reopening the transaction to see if the issue persists.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue continues, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance related to the module you are working in.
  
  
  Contact Support: If none of the above solutions work, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
