• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE519 - Batch defined automatically at 'product level' ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE519, which states "Batch defined automatically at 'product level'," typically occurs in the context of batch management in SAP, particularly when dealing with materials that have batch management enabled. This message indicates that the system is automatically assigning a batch number at the product level rather than at the storage location or plant level.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Settings: The material in question is configured to use batch management at the product level. This means that the system expects to manage batches at a higher level, which can lead to this message if there are attempts to manage batches at a more granular level (like storage location).
  Material Master Configuration: The material master record may have been set up incorrectly, or the batch management settings may not align with the intended use.
  Transaction Context: The error may arise during specific transactions, such as goods movements, production orders, or inventory management, where batch management rules are being enforced.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Material Master Settings: Check the material master record for the affected material. Ensure that the batch management settings are configured correctly. You can do this by navigating to the material master (transaction code MM03) and reviewing the relevant views (Basic Data, Purchasing, and Plant Data).
  
  
  Adjust Batch Management Level: If the business process requires batch management at a different level (e.g., storage location level), consider adjusting the batch management settings in the material master. This may involve changing the batch management level from product level to storage location level.
  
  
  Transaction Review: Ensure that the transaction being executed is appropriate for the batch management level set in the material master. If necessary, adjust the transaction or the process to align with the batch management configuration.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on batch management settings and best practices.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that batch management functions as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
