• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE098 - Fixed lot size requires lot size (Products planning) ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE098, which indicates that "Fixed lot size requires lot size," typically arises in the context of product planning and production planning within SAP. This error is related to the configuration of lot sizes for materials in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Lot Size Configuration: The error usually occurs when a material is set to use a fixed lot size, but the lot size itself has not been defined in the material master data. In other words, the system expects a specific lot size to be defined for production or procurement, but it is missing.
  
  
  Material Master Data: The material master record may not have the necessary lot size settings configured correctly. This can happen if the material was created or modified without specifying the required lot size parameters.
  
  
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the material may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies in how the system interprets the lot size requirements.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the transaction code MM02 (Change Material) or MM03 (Display Material).
  Enter the material number and select the appropriate views (usually the MRP or Basic Data views).
  Ensure that the lot size is defined in the MRP view. If it is set to "Fixed Lot Size," make sure to specify the fixed lot size quantity.
  
  
  
  Define Lot Size:
  
  If the lot size is not defined, you can set it by navigating to the MRP view and entering the desired fixed lot size in the "Lot Size" field.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Parameters:
  
  Check the planning parameters for the material to ensure they are set correctly. This includes reviewing the MRP type, lot size settings, and any other relevant parameters.
  
  
  
  Check for Related Configuration:
  
  If you are using a specific MRP type or strategy, ensure that it is configured correctly in the system. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team if there are custom settings involved.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, run the planning process again to see if the error persists. You can use transaction codes like MD02 (Single-item, single-level planning) to test the planning run.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on material master data and lot size configuration.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), MM03 (Display Material), and MD02 (MRP Planning).
  MRP Types: Understand the different MRP types and how they affect lot size and planning behavior.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization has custom logic implemented, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect lot size calculations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE098 error and ensure that your material planning processes function smoothly.
