• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE121 - Product type changed from & to & ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE121 indicates that there has been a change in the product type of a material or product in the system. This typically occurs in the context of product master data management, particularly when dealing with product drafts or changes in product classifications.
  Cause:
  
  
  Product Type Change: The primary cause of this error is that the product type of a material has been changed from one type to another. This could happen due to:
  
  Manual changes made by a user.
  Data migration or updates that inadvertently change the product type.
  Configuration changes in the system that affect how product types are defined.
  
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: The change may lead to inconsistencies in the data, especially if there are dependent objects or configurations that rely on the original product type.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Changes: Check the change logs or history for the material to understand when and why the product type was changed. This can help identify if the change was intentional or accidental.
  
  
  Revert Changes: If the change was not intended, you may need to revert the product type back to its original state. This can usually be done through the material master data transaction (e.g., MM02).
  
  
  Update Dependent Data: If the product type change is intentional, ensure that all dependent data (such as BOMs, routing, and other master data) is updated accordingly to reflect the new product type.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to product type changes to understand any specific implications or required steps.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the system behaves as expected and that there are no further issues related to the product type change.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), and MM03 (Display Material) for managing product master data.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and authorizations to make changes to product types to prevent unauthorized changes.
