• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL169 - Items confirmed ?

  The SAP error message VL169 ("Items confirmed") typically occurs in the context of delivery processing in the SAP system. This message indicates that the items you are trying to process (e.g., in a delivery or shipment) have already been confirmed, meaning that they have been processed in a way that prevents further changes or actions on those items.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Processing: The items may have already been confirmed in a previous transaction, and the system does not allow re-confirmation.

  Check Item Status: Review the status of the items in the delivery. If they are confirmed, you may need to look for the original confirmation to understand the next steps.
