• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ARBERP_MAP757 - Starting output determination for &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message ARBERP_MAP757, which states "Starting output determination for &1 &2," typically relates to issues in the output determination process within the SAP system. This message is often encountered in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or logistics processes when the system is trying to determine the appropriate output (such as print, email, etc.) for a document (like a sales order, delivery, or invoice).
  Cause:
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The output determination procedure may not be correctly configured for the document type in question. This could include missing output types, incorrect condition records, or improperly set up access sequences.
  
  
  Missing Master Data: Required master data (like customer master, material master, etc.) may be incomplete or missing, which can prevent the system from determining the output correctly.
  
  
  Condition Records: There may be no condition records available for the output type being used, which means the system cannot find any rules to apply for output determination.
  
  
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow for output determination to occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Output Configuration: 
  
  Go to the output determination configuration in SPRO (Transaction Code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Output Control > Output Determination > Maintain Output Types.
  Ensure that the output type is correctly configured for the document type you are working with.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction code NACE to check the output type and ensure that condition records exist for the relevant document type.
  If necessary, create or modify condition records to ensure that the output determination can find valid entries.
  
  
  
  Verify Master Data:
  
  Check the relevant master data (like customer and material records) to ensure that all necessary information is complete and accurate.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Ensure that the document is in a status that allows for output determination. For example, a sales order must be in a status that permits output processing.
  
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the output determination process to identify where it is failing. This may require technical expertise.
