• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE444 - &: & Product is used in quality information records ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE444 indicates that a product is being used in quality information records (QIRs), which prevents certain actions from being performed on that product, such as deletion or modification. This is a common issue in SAP when dealing with materials that are linked to quality management processes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the product (material) is associated with quality information records, which are used to manage quality inspections and related processes. These records ensure that the product meets quality standards and compliance requirements. When a product is linked to QIRs, SAP restricts certain operations to maintain data integrity and compliance.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Quality Information Records: 
  
  Use transaction codes like IQ01 (Create Quality Info Record) or IQ02 (Change Quality Info Record) to find the specific QIRs associated with the product.
  You can also use transaction SE16N to query the relevant tables (e.g., QINFO) to see which records are linked to the product.
  
  
  
  Review and Modify QIRs:
  
  If the QIRs are no longer needed, you may consider deleting or modifying them. However, ensure that this action does not violate any compliance or quality assurance policies.
  If the QIRs are still required, you may need to adjust your plans for the product accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or links to the product that might be causing the restriction. This could include other quality management records or processes.
  
  
  
  Consult with Quality Management Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of modifying or deleting QIRs, consult with your quality management team or relevant stakeholders to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  If you need to perform actions on the product, consider using transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) or MM03 (Display Material) after resolving the QIR issue.
