  SAP Message W8431: "There are no changes relevant for transport"
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you attempt to release a transport request (workbench or customizing request), but the system finds no objects or changes that are relevant for transport in the request. In other words, the transport request is empty or does not contain any changes that need to be moved to another system.
  Common reasons include:
  
  The transport request was created but no changes were recorded in it.
  All changes were undone or moved to another transport request.
  The objects in the request are not transportable or are client-specific changes that do not require transport.
  The request was created manually but no development or customizing changes were assigned to it.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Transport Request Content:
  
  Go to transaction SE01 or SE09/SE10.
  Display the transport request and check the list of objects or changes.
  If the request is empty, no transportable objects exist.
  
  
  
  Verify if Changes Were Recorded:
  
  Confirm that the changes you made were saved and assigned to the transport request.
  Sometimes, changes are saved locally or not assigned to any transport request.
  
  
  
  If the Request is Empty and Not Needed:
  
  You can delete the transport request if it is not required.
  Or simply ignore the warning if you know the request is empty intentionally.
  
  
  
  If Changes Exist but Not Transportable:
  
  Some changes (like client-specific customizing) may not be transportable.
  Check if the changes should be transported or handled differently.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Transport Request:
  
  If the request is empty due to some error, create a new transport request and assign changes properly.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (W), not an error, so it does not prevent the release of the transport request but indicates that the request is empty.
  It helps avoid unnecessary transports of empty requests.
  Transport requests are used to move development or customizing changes between SAP systems (e.g., from Development to Quality Assurance).
  Always ensure that changes are properly recorded and assigned to transport requests to avoid this warning.
