• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE586 - The product & will be changed; & new differences have been maintained ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE586 typically indicates that there are changes being made to a product in the system, and that new differences (such as characteristics or values) have been maintained for that product. This message is often encountered in the context of product master data management, particularly when dealing with variant configuration or product drafts.
  Cause:
  
  Product Changes: The error suggests that the product in question is undergoing changes, which may include updates to its attributes, characteristics, or other related data.
  Draft Status: The product may be in a draft status, meaning that changes are being prepared but not yet finalized or released.
  Conflicting Data: There may be conflicting data or differences between the current product configuration and the new changes being applied.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Changes: Check the changes that have been made to the product. Ensure that the new differences are valid and do not conflict with existing data.
  Finalize Draft: If the product is in draft status, consider finalizing or releasing the draft to apply the changes permanently.
  Check for Conflicts: Look for any conflicting entries or data that may be causing the error. Resolve any discrepancies before attempting to save or activate the product.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling product changes and drafts.
