The message states that the tester number already has a test log with the status 'Draft'. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's testing and quality assurance processes, particularly in the Financial Operations (FOPC) module.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Duplicate Test Log: The tester number you are trying to use already has an existing test log that is in 'Draft' status. This means that the tester has not yet finalized or submitted the test log, and the system does not allow multiple draft logs for the same tester number.

  If the draft log is no longer needed, you can delete it to free up the tester number for a new log.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Tester Number:
  
  If appropriate, consider using a different tester number that does not have an existing draft log.
