• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IAM/UI102 - Save is not necessary because there are no changes ?

  The SAP error message /IAM/UI102 Save is not necessary because there are no changes typically occurs in the context of the SAP Identity Management (IdM) or similar applications when a user attempts to save changes to a record or data entry, but the system detects that no actual changes have been made to the data.
  Cause:
  
  No Changes Made: The most common cause of this message is that the user has not made any modifications to the data since the last save. This can happen if the user opens a record, reviews it, and then tries to save without making any edits.
  Unintentional Edits: Sometimes, users may think they have made changes (like clicking in a field or changing focus) but have not actually altered any data.

  Solution:
  
  Verify Changes: Before attempting to save, ensure that you have made actual changes to the data. Check each field to confirm that the values are different from what was previously saved.
  Refresh the Screen: If you believe you have made changes but still receive the message, try refreshing the screen or reloading the data to ensure that the system is up to date.
  Check for Hidden Changes: Sometimes, changes may not be visible (e.g., changes in dropdown selections or hidden fields). Ensure that all relevant fields have been checked.
  Log Out and Log Back In: If the issue persists, logging out of the system and logging back in can sometimes resolve temporary glitches.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the expected behavior or how to make changes, refer to the SAP documentation or user guides related to the specific module you are working with.
