• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SQADB080 - The data have changed since they were last saved ?

  The SAP error message SQADB080, which states "The data have changed since they were last saved," typically occurs when there is a conflict between the data in the database and the data in the user interface. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when multiple users are trying to edit the same data simultaneously, or when the data has been modified by another process or transaction after it was loaded into the user interface.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Modifications: Another user or process has modified the data after you retrieved it but before you attempted to save your changes.
  Session Timeout: Your session may have timed out, and the data you are trying to save is no longer valid.
  Data Locking: The data might be locked by another transaction, preventing you from saving your changes.
  Background Processes: Background jobs or updates may have changed the data while you were working on it.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Refresh the Data: Refresh the screen or re-fetch the data to ensure you are working with the most current version. After refreshing, you can reapply your changes.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the data you are trying to modify. If you find locks, you may need to wait for them to be released or contact the user who has locked the data.
  Reopen the Transaction: Close the transaction and reopen it to start with a fresh instance of the data.
  Communicate with Other Users: If you are in a multi-user environment, communicate with other users to ensure that no one else is making conflicting changes.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to gracefully manage this error and provide users with clear instructions on how to resolve it.
  
  Related Information:
