  Check the Confirmation Message Details:
  
  Identify the exact confirmation message number or ID from the error message.
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/CONF (EWM) or LT22 (WM) to display confirmation documents.
  Verify the data completeness and correctness.
  
  
  
  Analyze the Error Logs:
  
  Check application logs via transaction SLG1 for detailed error messages related to the confirmation.
  Look for dump analysis in ST22 if a short dump occurred.
