• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6B073 - Correspondence will not be printed ?

  The SAP error message 6B073 ("Correspondence will not be printed") typically indicates that there is an issue with the configuration or processing of correspondence in the SAP system. This error can occur in various modules, such as SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or SAP Financials, where correspondence documents (like invoices, letters, etc.) are generated.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Configuration: The correspondence type may not be properly configured in the system.
  Output Determination Issues: The output determination procedure may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not being able to find the appropriate output type.
  Status of the Document: The document for which correspondence is being generated may not be in a status that allows printing.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to print the correspondence.
  Technical Issues: There may be underlying technical issues, such as problems with the print layout or spool requests.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify that the correspondence type is correctly configured in the relevant customizing settings (e.g., transaction SPRO).
  Ensure that the output type is assigned to the correct application and that the necessary conditions are met.
  
  
  
  Review Output Determination:
  
  Use transaction NACE (for output types) to check the output determination procedure for the relevant application.
  Ensure that the output type is correctly defined and that the conditions for triggering the output are met.
  
  
  
  Document Status:
  
  Check the status of the document for which correspondence is being generated. Ensure it is in a status that allows for printing.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the print function. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  
  Check Spool Requests:
  
  If the correspondence is being sent to a spool, check the spool requests in transaction SP01 to see if there are any errors or if the spool is being generated correctly.
  
  
  
  Technical Troubleshooting:
  
  If the issue persists, consider checking for any technical errors in the system logs (transaction SLG1) or debugging the print program to identify any issues in the print layout or data retrieval.
