This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message that indicates a workbench request has been generated for changes made in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Development Changes: The message is usually triggered when a developer or user makes changes to objects in the SAP system that require a transport request to be created. This can happen during development activities, such as modifying programs, function modules, or other repository objects.

  Release the Request: If the changes are complete and you want to transport them, you may need to release the workbench request. This can be done in the transport organizer.
  Check for Errors: If you were expecting a different outcome or if there are issues with the changes, review the logs or messages in the transport organizer for any errors or warnings related to the request.
