  Error Message
  WES_OUTBOUND060: No changed data found for transfer
  
  Cause
  This message typically occurs in the context of SAP's ALE/IDoc outbound processing or data distribution scenarios (e.g., using Change Pointers or Data Replication). It means that the system was triggered to send data (e.g., via an IDoc), but when it checked for changed data records to be transferred, it found none.
  Common causes include:
  
  No data changes detected: The system was asked to send changed data, but no relevant changes have been recorded since the last transfer.
  Change pointers not activated or not generated: If the scenario relies on change pointers (BDCP2 table), they might not be activated or no change pointers exist for the object.
  Filters or selection criteria too restrictive: The selection criteria for the data to be transferred might exclude all records.
  Incorrect partner profile or distribution model: The distribution model or partner profile might not be set up correctly, so no data is selected for transfer.
  Data already transferred: The data changes have already been sent, so no new changes exist.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve or handle this message, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Verify if data changes exist:
  
  Check if there are any actual changes in the source data that should be transferred.
  For change pointer scenarios, check table BDCP2 for existing change pointers.
  
  
  
  Activate Change Pointers (if applicable):
  
  Use transaction BD61 to activate change pointers for the relevant message types.
  Ensure that change pointers are being generated when data changes occur.
  
  
  
  Check distribution model and partner profiles:
  
  Use transaction BD64 to verify the distribution model.
  Use WE20 to check partner profiles and outbound parameters.
  
  
  
  Review selection criteria and filters:
  
  If the transfer is triggered via a report or program, check the selection parameters.
  Make sure the filters are not excluding all data.
  
  
  
  Check if data was already transferred:
  
  Review IDoc status records in WE02/WE05 to see if the data was already sent.
  If necessary, reset or reprocess IDocs.
  
  
  
  Trigger data changes manually (if needed):
  
  Sometimes, you may need to manually trigger data changes or reprocess change pointers.
  
  
  
  Check application-specific settings:
  
  Some applications require specific customizing or settings to enable data change detection.
