• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 53356 - No confirmations were chosen (in the special run) ?

  The SAP error message "53356 No confirmations were chosen (in the special run)" typically occurs in the context of production order confirmations or similar processes where the system is expected to process confirmations but finds none to process. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the execution of a special run for confirmations in production planning or order processing.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Confirmations Available: The most straightforward cause is that there are no confirmations available for the system to process. This could be due to:
  
  All confirmations have already been processed.
  Confirmations were not created for the relevant production orders.
  The selection criteria used in the special run do not match any existing confirmations.
  
  
  
  Selection Criteria Issues: The parameters or selection criteria set for the special run may be too restrictive, leading to no confirmations being selected.
  
  
  Status of Orders: The production orders may not be in a status that allows for confirmations to be processed (e.g., they may be closed or technically completed).
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that affect how confirmations are processed or selected.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Confirmations: Verify if there are any confirmations available for processing. You can do this by checking the relevant production orders or using transaction codes like CO15 (for confirmations) to see if any exist.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria used in the special run are appropriate. Adjust the parameters to broaden the selection if necessary.
  
  
  Order Status: Check the status of the production orders. If they are not in a suitable status for confirmation, you may need to change their status or create new confirmations.
