  Cause:
  The message "VR312 Changes have been made" typically appears in SAP when you attempt to exit or navigate away from a screen or transaction where you have made changes to data but have not saved those changes yet. It is a warning to prevent accidental loss of unsaved data.
  In other words, the system detects that the current data on the screen has been modified but not committed (saved), and it prompts you to confirm whether you want to save the changes or discard them.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  While maintaining master data (e.g., vendor master, customer master, material master).
  During document entry or editing (e.g., purchase orders, invoices).
  In any transaction where data is edited and the user tries to leave the screen without saving.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Save the changes: If you want to keep the modifications, choose the option to save or confirm the changes.
  Discard the changes: If you do not want to keep the changes, cancel or exit without saving. The system will then discard the unsaved data.
  Review your entries: Sometimes, you might want to review the changes before saving or discarding. Use the message prompt to decide accordingly.
