• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ART_DISCONT014 - No changes made ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_ART_DISCONT014 - No changes made
  
  Cause:
  This error message typically occurs in SAP when you attempt to make changes to a material master record or related data (often in the context of article discontinuation or material master updates), but the system detects that no actual changes have been made to the data. In other words, the system compares the current data with the input data and finds them identical, so it does not process any update.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Trying to save a material master record without modifying any fields.
  Attempting to discontinue an article/material but not changing any relevant discontinuation flags or fields.
  Running a transaction or report that expects changes but none are detected.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Input Data:
  
  Ensure that you have actually made changes to the material master or article data before saving. Check the fields you intended to update and confirm that their values differ from the existing data.
  
  
  Check Discontinuation Flags:
  
  If you are trying to discontinue an article, make sure you have set the appropriate discontinuation indicators or flags correctly (e.g., setting the "Discontinued" indicator in the material master).
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction:
  
  Confirm that you are using the correct transaction or program for the intended change. Some transactions may require specific fields to be changed to trigger an update.
  
  
  Review User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If your system has custom user exits, BADIs, or enhancements related to material master changes or article discontinuation, verify that they are not preventing changes or causing the system to reject updates.
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the material master or article data.
  
  
  Debug or Trace:
  
  If the issue persists, use debugging or system trace (ST05) to analyze why the system considers no changes were made.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Transactions: MM01 (Create), MM02 (Change), MM03 (Display)
  Article Discontinuation: Often involves setting flags in material master views like Basic Data, Sales, or Plant Data.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Service Marketplace for notes related to WRF_ART_DISCONT014 for any known issues or patches.
  User Exits/BADIs: Examples include EXIT_SAPMM06E_001 or BADI_MATERIAL_CHECK which might influence material master changes.
  Logs and Change Documents: Use transaction CDHDR and CDPOS to check change documents for the material to verify if changes were recorded.
