• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPSLL/CON_CORE022 - Legal Control Block can only be confirmed in status 'Pending' ?

  The SAP error message /SAPSLL/CON_CORE022 Legal Control Block can only be confirmed in status 'Pending' typically occurs in the context of SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) when dealing with legal control blocks related to compliance checks, such as export control or customs regulations.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that an attempt was made to confirm a legal control block that is not in the correct status. Specifically, the legal control block must be in the 'Pending' status to be confirmed. If the status is anything other than 'Pending' (e.g., 'Confirmed', 'Rejected', etc.), the system will prevent the confirmation and throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Legal Control Block:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction in SAP GTS where you can view the legal control block.
  Check the current status of the legal control block in question.
  
  
  
  Ensure the Status is 'Pending':
  
  If the status is not 'Pending', you will need to determine why it is in its current state. This may involve reviewing the workflow or process that led to the current status.
  If necessary, you may need to revert the status back to 'Pending' if your business process allows for it.
  
  
  
  Review Related Documents:
  
  Ensure that all related documents and data entries are complete and correct. Sometimes, missing or incorrect data can lead to a block being set to a status that prevents confirmation.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP GTS Administrator:
  
  If you are unable to change the status or if you are unsure why the status is not 'Pending', consult with your SAP GTS administrator or support team. They may have additional insights or access to logs that can help diagnose the issue.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic:
  
  If your organization has implemented custom logic or enhancements in SAP GTS, ensure that these are not interfering with the status transitions of the legal control blocks.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
