• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CONFIRMATION131 - Confirmation state &1 of item &2 is invalid ?

  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_CONFIRMATION131 Confirmation state &1 of item &2 is invalid
  typically occurs in the context of SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) during the confirmation of warehouse tasks or deliveries.
  
  Cause
  This error indicates that the confirmation state of a particular item (identified by &2) is invalid or inconsistent with the expected process flow. In other words, the system is trying to confirm a warehouse task or delivery item that is in a state where confirmation is not allowed or does not make sense.
  Common causes include:
  
  Attempting to confirm a warehouse task or delivery item that is already confirmed or canceled.
  The item is in a status that does not permit confirmation (e.g., already fully confirmed, deleted, or in an inconsistent state).
  Data inconsistencies between the delivery document and warehouse task.
  Custom enhancements or user exits that incorrectly change the confirmation state.
  Incorrect or incomplete warehouse task processing.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Confirmation State:
  
  Review the current confirmation status of the item in question.
  Use transaction codes like LT23 (Display Transfer Order) or VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) to check the status of the warehouse task or delivery item.
  
  
  
  Analyze the Process Flow:
  
  Verify if the item has already been confirmed or canceled.
  Confirm that the warehouse task is in a status that allows confirmation.
  
  
  
  Correct the Status if Possible:
  
  If the item is stuck in an inconsistent state, you may need to reset or delete the warehouse task and recreate it.
  Use transaction LT12 (Confirm Transfer Order) carefully to confirm the warehouse task if it is still valid.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Inconsistencies:
  
  Run consistency checks or use standard SAP reports to identify and fix inconsistencies between delivery and warehouse task data.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there are user exits, BADIs, or custom programs involved in the confirmation process, check if they are causing the invalid state.
