• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CONFIRMATION032 - Message is not relevant for the confirmation process ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_CONFIRMATION032 – Message is not relevant for the confirmation process
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs during the Goods Movement or Production Confirmation process in SAP when the system encounters a message or status that does not apply to the current confirmation step or process. In other words, the confirmation transaction is trying to process a message or data that is not valid or expected in the current context.
  Common causes include:
  
  Attempting to confirm a production order or process order with an incorrect or inconsistent status.
  Using a confirmation transaction or method that does not support the message or confirmation type.
  Incorrect or incomplete configuration of confirmation profiles or confirmation control keys.
  Data inconsistencies in the production order or related master data.
  Trying to confirm a process order that is already confirmed or closed.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Confirmation Process:
  
  Verify that you are using the correct confirmation transaction (e.g., CO11N, MF47, etc.) for the order type and confirmation type.
  Ensure that the confirmation step you are trying to perform is valid for the current status of the order.
  
  
  
  Review Order Status:
  
  Check the status of the production or process order to ensure it is in a state that allows confirmation.
  If the order is already confirmed or technically completed, further confirmations may not be relevant.
  
  
  
  Inspect Confirmation Profiles and Control Keys:
  
  Review the configuration of confirmation profiles (transaction OPK4) and confirmation control keys to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Confirm that the confirmation types and messages are properly assigned and relevant for the process.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  Validate the master data (material master, routing, BOM) and order data for inconsistencies.
  Run consistency checks or use transaction COHV or CO02 to review order details.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Enhancements or User Exits:
  
  If there are custom validations or user exits implemented, verify that they are not causing the message to appear incorrectly.
