  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE410 indicates that a product type change cannot be performed because the product is currently locked. This typically occurs in the context of product master data management within SAP, particularly in modules like SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or SAP Material Management (MM).
  Cause:
  
  
  Product Locking: The product is locked for editing due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The product is currently being processed by another user or transaction.
  The product is part of a workflow that has not been completed.
  The product is in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., released or approved status).
  The product is locked due to a background job or batch process.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the product type.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Lock Status:
  
  Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or MM02 (Change Material) to check the status of the product.

  Use Transaction SM12:
