• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE747 - Fixed lot size will be reset since it is unnecessary for this procedure ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE747 indicates that the fixed lot size setting is being reset because it is deemed unnecessary for the current procedure. This typically occurs in the context of production planning or material requirements planning (MRP) when the system determines that the fixed lot size is not applicable for the specific operation being performed.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatibility with Procedure: The fixed lot size may not be compatible with the type of production process or planning procedure being executed. For example, if the production process is set to use variable lot sizes or if the order type does not support fixed lot sizes.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the material master or the production order may not align with the fixed lot size requirement.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may not be set up correctly, leading to the system's decision to reset the fixed lot size.

  Solution:
  
  Review Material Master Settings: Check the material master data for the relevant material. Ensure that the lot size settings are correctly configured and that the fixed lot size is appropriate for the production process.
  Check Production Order Type: Verify that the production order type being used supports fixed lot sizes. If not, consider changing the order type or adjusting the lot size settings.
  Adjust Planning Strategy: If the planning strategy does not support fixed lot sizes, you may need to change the strategy to one that does, or adjust the settings to allow for fixed lot sizes.
  Consult Configuration: Work with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings in the configuration (SPRO) align with your business requirements and that fixed lot sizes are set up correctly.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the system behaves as expected.
