• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE697 - No internal no. assignment or product no. for initial data created ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE697 typically indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of internal numbers or product numbers when creating initial data in the system. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during the creation of product master data or when working with drafts in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The system may not be properly configured to generate internal numbers or product numbers for the specific data being created.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the input fields required for the creation of the product or draft.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or modify the data, leading to the inability to assign numbers.
  System Settings: The number range settings for the relevant object (e.g., product master) may not be defined or may be exhausted.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO to check the number range object related to the product or draft you are trying to create.
  Ensure that the number range is defined and that there are available numbers in the range.
  
  
  
  Review Input Data:
  
  Ensure that all mandatory fields are filled out correctly in the initial data creation screen.
  Check for any inconsistencies or missing information that could prevent the assignment of internal or product numbers.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or modify the product data. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings:
  
  If you have access to the configuration settings, check the relevant customizing settings for product master data creation. This can be done in the SPRO transaction under the relevant module (e.g., Logistics or Material Management).
