  SAP Error Message:
  VN422 - Communication data is only temporarily changed
  
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears in the context of vendor master data maintenance, specifically when you change communication data (such as telephone number, fax, email, or contact person details) in the vendor master record.
  The message indicates that the communication data you have changed is only temporarily updated in the current session or transaction and has not been saved permanently to the database. This usually happens because the communication data is maintained in a separate sub-screen or transaction, and the changes have not been properly saved or confirmed.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, vendor communication data is often maintained in a separate tab or screen.
  If you change the communication data but do not explicitly save or confirm the changes, the system treats these changes as temporary.
  When you try to exit or proceed without saving, SAP warns you that the communication data changes are not yet permanent.
