• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSHLP_MSG_CL116 - You can only load local drafts created in this system ?

  The SAP error message PSHLP_MSG_CL116 indicates that you are trying to load a local draft that was created in a different SAP system than the one you are currently using. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP GUI when working with drafts in applications that support draft functionality.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that local drafts are tied to the specific system in which they were created. If you attempt to load a draft from a different system (for example, if you created a draft in a development environment and are trying to load it in a production environment), the system will not allow this action for security and data integrity reasons.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Ensure Consistency: Make sure that you are working in the same SAP system where the draft was originally created. If you need to access the draft, switch to the correct system.
  
  
  Recreate the Draft: If you cannot access the original system, you may need to recreate the draft manually in the current system.
  
  
  Export/Import Drafts: If your business process allows it, consider implementing a method to export drafts from one system and import them into another. However, this may require custom development and should be approached with caution.
  
  
  Check System Configuration: Ensure that your system settings and configurations are correct and that there are no issues with the draft management settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on draft management and error handling.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Draft Management: Understand how draft management works in SAP applications, including how drafts are stored and the implications of working across different systems.
