  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to process or generate output for a bundle of items. The system expects that all items in the bundle are configured to be printed, but at least one item in the bundle has a different output channel set (e.g., EMAIL, FAX, etc.). This inconsistency leads to the error message being triggered.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Output Channel Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP where you can view the output items in the bundle.
  Verify the output channel settings for each item in the bundle. Ensure that all items are set to "PRINT".
  
  
  
  Modify Output Channel:
  
  If you find any items that do not have "PRINT" as their output channel, you will need to change their output channel to "PRINT".
  This can usually be done in the output determination settings or directly in the document where the output is being generated.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Bundle:
  
  After ensuring that all items in the bundle have the correct output channel, attempt to reprocess the bundle to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about how to change the output channel or where to find the settings, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to output management in APO.
