• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE380 - Prices proposed from reference product; however, price units differ ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE380 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the price units of the reference product and the product for which you are trying to set the price. This typically occurs in the context of product pricing in SAP, particularly when dealing with draft products or when creating new product master data.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are trying to copy pricing information from a reference product, but the units of measure (UoM) for the price differ between the reference product and the target product.
  For example, if the reference product has a price defined in "per kg" and the target product is defined in "per lb", SAP will raise this error because it cannot directly apply the price from one unit of measure to another without conversion.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Units of Measure:
  
  Verify the units of measure for both the reference product and the target product. Ensure that they are compatible or that you are aware of the differences.
  
  
  
  Adjust Pricing:
  
  If the units of measure are different, you may need to manually adjust the pricing for the target product to reflect the correct price based on its unit of measure.
  You can calculate the price based on the conversion factor between the two units of measure.
  
  
  
  Use Conversion Factors:
  
  If applicable, use conversion factors to convert the price from the reference product's unit of measure to the target product's unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Review Product Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the product master data for both products is correctly maintained, including the pricing conditions and units of measure.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling pricing discrepancies and unit of measure issues.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
