This message indicates that the system has determined that there are no changes that require validation or checks to be performed.

Solution:
Review Changes: Ensure that there are actual changes made to the delivery or stock that would require checks. If no changes have been made, you can proceed without further action.
Check Configuration: If you believe that checks should be necessary, review the configuration settings related to delivery processing and stock management. This may involve:
- Checking the settings in the relevant customizing transactions (e.g., SPRO).
- Ensuring that the relevant checks are activated in the system.
