• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE051 - You have maintained Revision Level. Specify a Change Number as well. ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE051 indicates that a revision level has been maintained for a product, but a change number has not been specified. This typically occurs in the context of product data management, particularly when dealing with change management processes in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Revision Level Set: The product or material has a revision level defined, which indicates that the product is subject to changes and version control.
  Missing Change Number: When a revision level is set, SAP requires a corresponding change number to track the changes made to the product. If this change number is not provided, the system generates this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to specify a change number in the relevant field. Here are the steps you can follow:

  Locate the Change Number Field: Find the field for the change number in the screen where you are entering or modifying the product data.
  Enter a Valid Change Number: If you have an existing change number that corresponds to the changes you are making, enter it. If you do not have one, you may need to create a new change number using the appropriate transaction (e.g., using transaction code CC01 to create a change number).
  Save Your Changes: After entering the change number, save your changes to see if the error is resolved.
