  SAP Message:
  WGDS_CONFIRMATION023: Exception for confirmation message &1 was processed successfully
  
  1. Cause
  This message is an informational or warning message related to the processing of goods movement confirmations in SAP, particularly in the Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) modules.
  
  The message indicates that an exception (an unusual or special condition) was detected during the processing of a confirmation message (e.g., a goods receipt, goods issue, or transfer posting confirmation).
  Despite the exception, the confirmation message itself was processed successfully.
  Exceptions can occur due to various reasons such as:
  
  Differences between the expected and actual quantities.
  Missing or inconsistent data in the confirmation.
  Partial confirmations or confirmations with deviations.
  System settings that trigger exceptions for certain conditions.
  
  
  
  In other words, the system is informing you that although the confirmation was accepted and processed, there was an exception that you should be aware of and possibly handle.
  
  2. Solution
  
  
  Check the Exception Details:
  
  Review the exception details linked to the confirmation message. This can be done in the transaction or report where the confirmation was processed. Look for:
  
  Quantity differences.
  Missing data or inconsistencies.
  Any manual intervention required.
  
  
  
  Analyze the Confirmation Document:
  
  Use transactions like:
  
  LT21 (Display Transfer Order Confirmations)
  VL33N (Display Inbound Delivery)
  VL32N (Change Inbound Delivery)
  /SCWM/PRDI (Process Warehouse Task Confirmations in EWM)
  
  to check the confirmation and related documents.
  
  
  Handle the Exception:
  
  Depending on the exception type:
  
  Adjust quantities or data if necessary.
  Post corrections or reversals if the confirmation was incorrect.
  Communicate with warehouse or logistics teams to clarify discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Sometimes, exceptions are triggered due to strict system settings. Review the configuration in:
  
  Warehouse Management settings.
  Confirmation and exception handling rules.
  
  Adjust if the exceptions are expected and do not require manual intervention.
  
  
  Monitor Exception Handling Process:
  
  Ensure that your warehouse or logistics process includes steps to review and resolve exceptions promptly.
