This error indicates that the system is preventing the confirmation of an order due to specific settings in the configuration for that order type.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Order Type Configuration: The order type specified in the error message (&1) may not be configured to allow confirmations. This could be due to settings in the order type configuration that restrict confirmation activities.

  User Authorizations: The user attempting to perform the confirmation may not have the necessary authorizations to confirm the order.
  
  
  Customizing Settings: There may be specific customizing settings that restrict confirmations based on certain criteria, such as the order type, status, or other parameters.
