• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN373 - Act. or element & must be confirmed but is only partially confirmed ?

  The SAP error message CN373 indicates that an activity or element in a project must be confirmed, but it has only been partially confirmed. This typically occurs in the context of project management and controlling, particularly when dealing with internal orders, work breakdown structures (WBS), or project activities.
  Cause:
  
  Partial Confirmation: The activity or element has been partially confirmed, meaning that some of the work has been reported, but not all of it. This can happen if the confirmation process was interrupted or if the user only entered a portion of the required confirmation data.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the project management module that require full confirmation before proceeding.
  Missing Data: Required data for the confirmation process may be missing or incorrectly entered, leading to a situation where the system recognizes that confirmation is needed but cannot process it fully.
  Status of the Activity: The status of the activity or element may not allow for further confirmations due to its current state (e.g., if it is already closed or completed).
  
  Solution:
  
  Complete the Confirmation: Check the confirmation status of the activity or element and ensure that all necessary confirmations are completed. You may need to enter additional confirmation data to fully confirm the activity.
  Review Configuration Settings: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the project management module to ensure that they align with your business processes. Adjust settings if necessary to allow for partial confirmations if that is acceptable in your process.
  Check for Missing Data: Verify that all required fields and data for the confirmation process are filled out correctly. This includes checking for any missing entries that may prevent full confirmation.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling confirmations in your version of SAP.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide assistance based on your specific configuration and usage.
