• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE119 - Product & does not need to be handled in batches ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE119 typically indicates that a product does not require batch handling in the context of inventory management or production planning. This message can arise in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with materials that are not batch-managed.
  Cause:
  
  Material Configuration: The material in question is configured in the system as a non-batch-managed product. This means that it does not require tracking of inventory in batches.
  Transaction Context: The error may occur during transactions that expect batch handling, such as goods movements, production orders, or inventory adjustments, where the system is trying to apply batch management to a product that is not set up for it.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies or misconfigurations in the material master data, particularly in the settings related to batch management.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the settings under the "Basic Data" and "Plant Data" views.
  Ensure that the material is correctly marked as non-batch-managed if it should not be handled in batches.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are performing is appropriate for the material type. If the material is not batch-managed, avoid using batch-specific transactions.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the material should be batch-managed, you may need to adjust the configuration in the material master to enable batch management.
  If it should remain non-batch-managed, ensure that the processes and transactions being used are aligned with this setting.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for further details on batch management and material handling to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the handling of materials and the implications of batch management settings to prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Material Types: Different material types in SAP (e.g., raw materials, finished goods) may have different handling requirements, including whether they are batch-managed.
  Error Handling: Familiarize yourself with common error messages in SAP and their resolutions to improve troubleshooting efficiency.
