  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_CONFIRMATION011 - Errors for attribute &1 with value &2:  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the confirmation process in SAP Workflow or Business Document Processing when an attribute value does not meet the expected criteria or validation rules. Specifically, the system detects an error related to a particular attribute (field) with a given value, which is either invalid, inconsistent, or not allowed in the current context.
  Common causes include:  
  
  Incorrect or unexpected data entered in the attribute.  
  Missing mandatory data or incorrect format.  
  Attribute value conflicts with business rules or validations configured in the system.  
  Custom validations or user-exits that reject the attribute value.  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error WGDS_CONFIRMATION011, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Attribute and Value:
  
  The message will specify the attribute name (&1) and the problematic value (&2). Check these details carefully.
  
  
  Check Data Entry:
  
  Verify the data entered for the attribute in the relevant document or workflow step. Correct any typos, format issues, or missing data.
  
  
  Review Validation Rules:  
  
  Check any validation rules or constraints applied to the attribute in the system (e.g., domain restrictions, data element checks).  
  If custom validations or user-exits are implemented, review their logic to understand why the value is rejected.
  
  
  
  Correct the Data or Adjust Rules:  
  
  If the data is incorrect, correct it and retry the confirmation.  
  If the validation rules are too strict or incorrect, consider adjusting them (with proper authorization and testing).
  
  
  
  Check Related Configuration:  
  
  For workflow-related errors, check the workflow container and attribute mapping.  
  For document processing, verify the document type and field settings.
  
  
  
  Debugging (if needed):
  
  If the cause is not obvious, debugging the confirmation process or the relevant function modules can help identify why the attribute value is rejected.
