  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CONFIRMATION003 - Value &1 of attribute &2 is invalid ?

    The SAP error message:

    WGDS_CONFIRMATION003: Value &1 of attribute &2 is invalid

    typically occurs in the context of SAP Global Trade Services (GTS), specifically during the processing of customs documents, declarations, or compliance checks.


    Cause

    • The error indicates that a value entered for a particular attribute (field) in a customs or compliance document is not valid according to the system's validation rules.
    • This can happen if:
      • The value does not conform to the expected format or allowed values.
      • The value is missing or incomplete.
      • The attribute is linked to a domain or fixed value list, and the entered value is outside this list.
      • There is a mismatch between the attribute value and the business context or configuration.
    • For example, if a customs procedure code, country code, or document type is entered incorrectly or is not recognized by the system, this error can occur.

    Solution

    1. Check the Attribute and Value:

      • Identify the attribute (&2) and the value (&1) from the error message.
      • Verify the value against the allowed values or domain for that attribute.
      • Use transaction codes or configuration tables to check valid entries.
    2. Correct the Data Entry:

      • If the value is incorrect, correct it to a valid one.
      • For example, if a country code is invalid, replace it with the correct ISO country code.
    3. Review Configuration:

      • If the value should be valid but is not recognized, check the customizing settings in SAP GTS.
      • Ensure that the relevant master data, such as customs procedure codes, document types, or classification codes, are properly maintained.
    4. Check Integration and Master Data:

      • Sometimes, master data inconsistencies between SAP ERP and SAP GTS cause this error.
      • Synchronize or update master data as needed.
    5. Debug or Analyze Logs:

      • If the cause is not obvious, use debugging or check application logs to trace where the validation fails.
