• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DRAFT_ADMIN_MESSAGES005 - Draft is not processible by current user. ?

  The SAP error message DRAFT_ADMIN_MESSAGES005 indicates that a draft document is not processible by the current user. This typically occurs in scenarios where a user attempts to access or process a draft that they do not have the necessary permissions for, or the draft is in a state that does not allow the current user to interact with it.
  Causes:
  
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user may not have the required authorizations to process the draft. This can happen if the draft was created by another user or if the user’s role does not include permissions for the specific action on the draft.
  
  
  Draft Status: The draft may be in a status that is not allowed for processing by the current user. For example, it might be locked or in a state that requires a specific user or role to process it.
  
  
  User Locking: The user may be locked or inactive in the system, preventing them from processing any drafts.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict access to drafts based on certain criteria.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Verify the user’s authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles and permissions to process the draft. This can be done by checking the user’s role assignments and authorization objects.
  
  
  Draft Ownership: If the draft was created by another user, check if the current user has the rights to access drafts created by others. If not, the draft may need to be reassigned or the user may need to request access.
  
  
  Review Draft Status: Check the status of the draft. If it is locked or in a state that does not allow processing, you may need to unlock it or change its status before the user can proceed.
  
  
  User Status: Ensure that the user is active and not locked in the system. If the user is locked, an administrator will need to unlock the user account.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or security team for specific configurations that may affect draft processing.
