  Error Message
  Message: WY138 No planned changes defined for &1
  
  Message Class: WY (typically related to SAP Workflow or Change Management)
  
  &1: Placeholder for the object or entity name (e.g., a document number, object ID)
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you attempt to execute or process a change document or workflow step that requires planned changes, but no planned changes have been defined or recorded for the specified object.
  In other words, the system expects that there should be some planned changes (e.g., in a change request, transport request, or workflow task) for the object, but it finds none.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Trying to release or process a change document without any recorded changes.
  Workflow steps that expect changes to be planned but none exist.
  Change management processes where the change document is empty or incomplete.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that planned changes are properly defined for the object in question:
  
  
  Check the Change Document or Request:
  
  Verify that the change document or request actually contains planned changes.
  Use transaction codes like CC03 (Display Change Document), SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools), or relevant change management transactions to inspect the changes.
  
  
  
  Define Planned Changes:
  
  If no changes are recorded, you need to create or record the planned changes.
  For example, in Change and Transport System (CTS), ensure that objects are added to the transport request.
  
  
  
  Workflow or Process Steps:
  
  If this error occurs during a workflow, check the workflow container and ensure that the object with planned changes is correctly passed.
  Confirm that the workflow step that triggers this error is correctly configured and that the change document is not empty.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Update the Change Document:
  
  Sometimes, the change document might be corrupted or incomplete. Recreate or update it with the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or modify planned changes.
