• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UD123 - Identical version already stored ?

  The SAP error message UD123 ("Identical version already stored") typically occurs in the context of SAP's transport management system or when dealing with version management in various SAP modules. This error indicates that the system is trying to store a version of an object that is identical to a version that already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Version: The most common cause of this error is that the version of the object you are trying to save or transport is identical to a version that has already been stored in the system.
  Version Management: This can happen in scenarios where version management is enabled, and the system detects that the content has not changed since the last version was saved.
  Transport Requests: If you are trying to include an object in a transport request that has not changed, the system will prevent you from doing so to avoid unnecessary duplication.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Changes: Before attempting to save or transport the object, ensure that you have made actual changes to it. If no changes have been made, there is no need to save or transport it again.
  Delete Existing Version: If you need to overwrite the existing version for some reason, you may need to delete the existing version first. However, be cautious with this approach as it may lead to loss of important data.
  Use Different Version: If you need to keep both versions, consider creating a new version with a different identifier or name.
  Transport Request Management: If this error occurs during transport, check the transport request to ensure that it does not already include the object in question. If it does, you may need to adjust the transport request accordingly.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to version management and transport management for specific guidance related to your version of SAP.
