  The SAP error message CBGLWI016 indicates that a print request has been initiated in the background. This message typically occurs in the context of SAP's print management system, particularly when dealing with output requests for documents such as invoices, purchase orders, or other forms of output.
  Cause:
  The error message can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  Background Job Issues: The background job responsible for processing the print request may have encountered an error or may not be configured correctly.
  Output Device Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the output device (printer) in SAP.

  Solution:
  To resolve the issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Background Job Logs:
  
  Go to transaction SM37 to check the status of background jobs. Look for any failed jobs related to the print request and review the logs for errors.
