• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CONFIRMATION081 - Item does not have any confirmation messages ?

  The SAP error message WGDS_CONFIRMATION081: "Item does not have any confirmation messages" typically occurs in the context of production order confirmations or goods movement confirmations in SAP, especially when working with confirmation transactions (e.g., CO11N, CORK, or related confirmation tools).
  
  Cause
  
  The error means that the system cannot find any confirmation messages (i.e., confirmation data or records) for the specified production order item.
  This usually happens when you try to display or process confirmations for an order item that has no confirmations recorded yet.
  Possible reasons include:
  
  No confirmations have been entered for the production order item.
  The confirmation data was deleted or not saved properly.
  The system is looking for confirmation messages in a wrong or inconsistent status.
  The order item is not relevant for confirmation (e.g., it is a non-production item or incorrectly assigned).
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check if confirmations exist:
  
  Use transaction CO03 (Display Production Order) and check the confirmation tab to see if any confirmations exist for the order item.
  Alternatively, use COHV (Mass order confirmation) or CO11N (Single order confirmation) to verify if confirmations can be created or displayed.
  
  
  
  Create confirmation if missing:
  
  If no confirmations exist, create a confirmation for the order item using CO11N or the relevant confirmation transaction.
  Ensure that the order status allows confirmation (order is released, not technically complete or closed).
  
  
  
  Check order and item status:
  
  Verify that the production order and the specific item are in a status that allows confirmation.
  If the order is already technically completed or closed, confirmations cannot be added.
  
  
  
  Check configuration and master data:
  
  Confirm that the order item is set up correctly for confirmation in the routing and work center.
  Check if the confirmation profile and control keys are correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Check for inconsistencies or data issues:
  
  Run consistency checks or use transaction COHV to identify any inconsistencies.
  If confirmation data was deleted accidentally, consider restoring from backup or re-entering confirmations.
  
  
  
  Debug or check logs:
  
  If the error persists despite confirmations existing, debugging or checking application logs (SM21, ST22) may help identify underlying issues.
