  SAP Error Message:
  WGDS_CONFIRMATION036 - Mandatory fields of notification message &1&2&3&4 are not specified
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to process or confirm a notification (such as a service notification, maintenance notification, or quality notification) and the system detects that some mandatory fields in the notification message are missing or not filled in. The placeholders &1&2&3&4 represent the specific fields or parameters that are mandatory but have not been specified.
  In SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) or QM (Quality Management) modules, notifications often require certain key fields to be filled before they can be saved, confirmed, or processed further. These mandatory fields are defined in the notification message schema or configuration.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Missing mandatory fields in the notification header or item.
  Missing mandatory fields in the notification message texts.
  Customizing or configuration changes that enforce additional mandatory fields.
  User input screens or interfaces that do not prompt for all required fields.
  Integration or data transfer scenarios where mandatory fields are not mapped or populated.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the Missing Fields:
  
  Check the exact fields indicated by the placeholders &1&2&3&4 in the error message. These will be the technical field names or descriptions.
  You can find these by looking at the notification message details or by debugging the message processing.
  
  
  
  Fill in the Mandatory Fields:
  
  Go to the notification in transaction codes like IW21 (Create Notification), IW22 (Change Notification), or the relevant QM notification transaction.
  Enter the missing mandatory fields in the notification header, items, or message texts as required.
  
  
  
  Check Notification Message Configuration:
  
  Use transaction SPRO to navigate to:
  
  Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ? Maintenance and Service Processing ? Notifications ? Notification Messages ? Define Notification Messages
  
  
  Verify which fields are set as mandatory for the notification message type you are working with.
  Adjust the configuration if necessary (e.g., if a field is incorrectly set as mandatory).
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Sometimes, custom code or user exits (e.g., IWO10009 for notifications) enforce additional mandatory fields.
  Review any custom developments that might be causing the error.
  
  
  
  Data Transfer or Interface Checks:
  
  If the notification is created via an interface (e.g., IDoc, BAPI), ensure that all mandatory fields are correctly mapped and populated.

  Debugging:
  
  Use debugging to trace the message processing and identify which fields are checked.
  The message class is usually WGDS_CONFIRMATION, so you can search for this in the ABAP code.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WGDS_CONFIRMATION036 indicates that some mandatory fields in the notification message are missing.
