  SAP Message: WG079
  Text: Order confirmation was generated immediately
  
  Cause
  This message appears when an order confirmation is generated immediately during the creation or processing of a production order or process order. In SAP Production Planning (PP) or Plant Maintenance (PM), when you create or process an order, the system can be set up to generate confirmations automatically or immediately, depending on the configuration.
  The message WG079 is informational and indicates that the confirmation document was created right away, rather than waiting for a manual confirmation or a later step in the process.
  This can happen due to:
  
  Automatic confirmation settings in the order type or confirmation profile.
  The system parameter or user exit that triggers immediate confirmation.
  The user or process triggering confirmation at the time of order creation or release.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  The system confirms that the order confirmation has been generated immediately.
  This is not an error but an informational message.
  It informs the user that the confirmation step has already been completed automatically.
  
  
  Solution / How to Handle
  
  
  No corrective action is usually required because this message is informational.
  
  
  If immediate confirmation is not desired, check the configuration:
  
  
  Check Confirmation Profile (Transaction OPK4):  
  
  Review the confirmation profile assigned to the order type.
  Adjust settings related to automatic or immediate confirmation.
  
  
  
  Check Order Type Settings (Transaction OPL8):  
  
  Verify if the order type is set to generate confirmations automatically.
  
  
  
  User Exits or BAdIs:  
  
  Check if any custom code triggers immediate confirmation.
  
  
  
  Process Review:  
  
  If immediate confirmation is causing process issues, consider changing the process flow to confirm orders manually.
  
  
  
  
  
  If the message is unexpected, review the process steps and confirm whether the immediate confirmation aligns with business requirements.
