  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE190, which states "You cannot set the 'Configurable Product' indicator for this product," typically occurs in the context of product master data management, particularly when dealing with configurable products in SAP.

  This error usually arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  
  Product Type Restrictions: The product you are trying to mark as configurable may not be of a type that supports configuration. For example, certain product types (like non-configurable materials) do not allow the "Configurable Product" indicator to be set.
