  The SAP error message TR639, which states "Configuration has not been changed," typically occurs in the context of transport requests in SAP. This message indicates that the system has detected that there are no changes to be transported, meaning that the configuration you are trying to transport has not been modified since the last transport.
  Causes:
  
  No Changes Made: The most common cause is that the configuration object you are trying to transport has not been changed or saved since the last transport.
