• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5E228 - With report status 3 another confirmation report is generated. ?

  The SAP error message 5E228 with the description "With report status 3 another confirmation report is generated" typically occurs in the context of production order confirmations or goods movements. This error indicates that there is an issue with the confirmation process, specifically that a confirmation report with a status of 3 (which usually indicates that the confirmation is not yet completed or has errors) is already in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Multiple Confirmations: The error often arises when there are multiple confirmation attempts for the same production order or goods movement, and one of them is still in process or has not been completed.
  Status Conflicts: The confirmation report may have a status that conflicts with the new confirmation being attempted.
  System Locking: The system may be locking the confirmation process due to ongoing transactions or background jobs that are still processing.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the production order or the confirmation process.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Existing Confirmations: Review the existing confirmations for the production order or goods movement. You can do this by using transaction codes like CO03 (for production orders) or MB03 (for goods movements) to see if there are any pending confirmations.
  Complete or Delete Pending Confirmations: If there are pending confirmations with status 3, you may need to complete them or delete them if they are no longer needed. This can often be done through the same transaction codes mentioned above.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the production order or related objects. If you find any locks that are preventing the confirmation, you may need to resolve them.
  Review Background Jobs: Check if there are any background jobs that might be affecting the confirmation process. You can use transaction SM37 to monitor background jobs.
  Consult with Technical Support: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP technical support team or basis team to investigate further, especially if there are underlying system issues.
