• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE317 - The production versions of the reference product have not been adopted ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE317 indicates that the production versions of a reference product have not been adopted in the context of creating or managing production versions for a material. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when working with variant configuration or when trying to create a production version for a material that is based on a reference material.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Production Versions: The reference product does not have any production versions defined, or the existing production versions have not been adopted for the new material.

  Review Data Consistency: Ensure that all necessary data (such as BOMs, routing, etc.) is consistent and correctly set up for both the reference and target products.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify production versions.
  Consult Configuration Settings: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review the system settings related to production version adoption.
