• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE490 - &: & not deleted: Product is default product with regard to validity ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE490 indicates that a product cannot be deleted because it is designated as a "default product" in relation to its validity. This typically occurs in the context of product master data management, where certain products are marked as default for specific conditions or scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  Default Product Status: The product you are trying to delete is set as a default product for a specific validity period or condition. This means that the system relies on this product for certain processes or configurations.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or references to this product in other areas of the system, such as sales orders, purchase orders, or other master data.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system may prevent the deletion of products that are marked as default.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Product Status: Verify if the product is indeed marked as a default product. You can do this by checking the product master data in the relevant transaction (e.g., MM03 for material master).
  Change Default Status: If you need to delete the product, you may first need to change its status from default to non-default. This can usually be done in the product master data maintenance screen.
  Remove Dependencies: Ensure that there are no active dependencies or references to the product in other documents or master data. If there are, you may need to delete or modify those references first.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for specific steps related to your version of SAP and the configuration in your organization.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes (like MM02 for changing material data) to modify the product's attributes.
