• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE106 - & is not a configurable product ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE106 typically indicates that there is an issue related to a product that is expected to be configurable but is not set up as such in the system. This error often arises in the context of SAP Variant Configuration (VC), where products can be configured based on various characteristics and options.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Configurable Product: The product in question is not defined as a configurable product in the SAP system. This means that it does not have the necessary configuration settings or characteristics that allow it to be customized.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data setup for the product, such as missing configuration profiles or incorrect settings in the material master.
  Incorrect Product Type: The product may have been incorrectly classified in the system, leading to it being treated as a standard product rather than a configurable one.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Configuration:
  
  Verify that the product is indeed intended to be configurable. If it is, ensure that it is set up correctly in the material master.
  Go to the material master (transaction MM03) and check the "Basic Data" and "Sales: Sales Org. Data" views to confirm that the product is marked as configurable.
  
  
  
  Create/Update Configuration Profile:
  
  If the product should be configurable, ensure that a configuration profile is created and assigned to the product. This can be done using transaction CU41 (Create Configuration Profile) or CU42 (Change Configuration Profile).
  
  
  
  Review Characteristics and Classes:
  
  Ensure that the necessary characteristics and classes are defined and assigned to the product. Use transaction CL02 to check the characteristics and classes.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors in BOM/Route:
  
  If the product is part of a Bill of Materials (BOM) or routing, ensure that these are correctly set up and that the product is included as a configurable item.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your system configuration and the error message.
