  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_CONFIRMATION059 - Failed to send confirmation state review
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the SAP Workflow system, specifically related to the Goods Movement or Goods Receipt confirmation process. The message indicates that the system failed to send or update the confirmation state review, which is often linked to the Goods Movement Document or the workflow step that confirms the goods receipt or goods issue.
  Common causes include:
  
  Workflow issues: The workflow responsible for sending the confirmation state is not triggered or is stuck.
  Authorization problems: The user or system does not have the necessary authorizations to send or update the confirmation.
  Configuration errors: Incorrect or incomplete configuration in the confirmation or workflow settings.
  Communication problems: Issues with RFC connections or ALE/IDoc processing if the confirmation involves communication between systems.
  Data inconsistencies: Missing or incorrect data in the confirmation document or related master data.
  Background job failures: The job responsible for processing confirmation messages is not running or has errors.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Workflow Logs:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWIA to check the workflow logs related to the confirmation.
  Identify if the workflow step for sending confirmation is stuck or has errors.
  
  
  
  Verify Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user or system ID has the required authorizations for confirmation processing.
  Check roles and authorizations related to goods movement and workflow.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the confirmation process in SPRO under Logistics Execution or Materials Management.
  Verify settings for confirmation control keys, movement types, and workflow triggers.
  
  
  
  Check Background Jobs:
  
  Use transaction SM37 to check if relevant background jobs (e.g., workflow processing, IDoc processing) are running successfully.
  Restart or schedule jobs if necessary.
  
  
  
  Inspect Communication Channels:
  
  If confirmation involves communication between systems, check RFC connections (transaction SM59) and ALE/IDoc status (transaction WE02, WE05).
  Resolve any communication errors.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Verify the data in the confirmation document for completeness and correctness.
  Check master data consistency (material master, vendor master, etc.).
  
  
  
  Reprocess or Resend Confirmation:
  
  If the confirmation failed to send, try to manually resend or reprocess it.
  Use transaction MB31 or related confirmation transactions to re-enter or confirm the goods movement.
