• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE165 - No serial number profile possible if split valuation defined for product ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE165 indicates that there is an issue related to the handling of serial numbers in conjunction with split valuation for a product. This error typically arises when you attempt to create or manage a product that has been defined with split valuation, but there is no valid serial number profile assigned to it.
  Cause:
  
  Split Valuation: The product in question is set up with split valuation, which means that the stock is managed in different valuation types (e.g., different quality levels, origins, etc.).
  Missing Serial Number Profile: The system requires a serial number profile to be assigned to the product for tracking purposes, but none is available or configured for the valuation type being used.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Product Configuration:
  
  Go to the material master record for the affected product (transaction code MM03).
  Check the valuation data and ensure that the split valuation is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Assign Serial Number Profile:
  
  Ensure that a serial number profile is assigned to the material. You can do this in the material master under the "Sales" or "Plant Data" views.
  If a serial number profile does not exist, you may need to create one (transaction code OIS2) and then assign it to the material.
  
  
  
  Review Valuation Types:
  
  Check the valuation types associated with the product. Ensure that each valuation type has a corresponding serial number profile.
  You can do this by navigating to the configuration settings for split valuation (transaction code OMWB).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on managing split valuation and serial number profiles.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
