  SAP Error Message:
  WPOC004 - Supplier confirmations already exist for purchase order &1, item &2
  
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when you attempt to create or change a purchase order confirmation for a specific purchase order and item, but there are already existing supplier confirmations recorded for that purchase order item.
  In other words, the system prevents duplicate or conflicting confirmations for the same purchase order item because confirmations have already been entered.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Purchase Order (PO) Confirmations are used to track supplier acknowledgments regarding delivery dates, quantities, or other conditions.
  When a confirmation already exists for a PO item, SAP restricts creating another confirmation of the same type or conflicting confirmations to maintain data consistency.
  This message typically appears during confirmation processing in transaction codes like ME22N (Change Purchase Order) or confirmation-related transactions.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Confirmations:
  
  Review the existing confirmations for the PO item to understand what has already been confirmed.
