• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE015 - The necessary plant data does not exist for the product ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE015 indicates that the necessary plant data for a specific product is missing in the system. This error typically arises when trying to perform operations related to product master data, such as creating or updating product information, and the system cannot find the required plant-specific data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Plant Data: The most common cause is that the product has not been assigned to any plant, or the plant data has not been maintained for the product in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration settings in the system that prevent the plant data from being correctly linked to the product.
  Data Inconsistency: There could be inconsistencies in the master data, such as missing entries in the relevant tables (e.g., MARC for plant data).

  Maintain Plant Data:
  
  Go to the transaction code MM01 (Create Material) or MM02 (Change Material).
