  The SAP error message SS301 ("Assignments not changed. No need to save") typically occurs when you attempt to save changes in a configuration or assignment screen, but the system detects that no actual changes have been made to the data. This message is a warning rather than an error, indicating that the system recognizes that the current state of the data is the same as it was before you attempted to save.
  Cause:
  
  No Changes Made: The most common cause is that you have not made any changes to the data or configuration that you are trying to save.
  Unintentional Save Attempt: You might have navigated to the save option without making any modifications.
  System Behavior: The system is designed to prevent unnecessary database writes, which is why it alerts you when there are no changes to save.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Changes: Double-check the fields or settings you intended to modify. Ensure that you have made the necessary changes before attempting to save.
  Make Required Changes: If you intended to make changes, ensure that you input the new values or configurations correctly.
  Ignore the Message: If you are aware that no changes were made and you do not need to save anything, you can simply ignore the message and continue with your work.
