• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_SUB_INFOSYS035 - Changes to output var. in EMPTY grp cannot be taken into acct for output ?

  The SAP error message CM_SUB_INFOSYS035 indicates that changes made to an output variable in an empty group cannot be taken into account for output. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's configuration for output management, particularly when dealing with output types, conditions, or forms.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Group: The error suggests that the output variable is part of a group that currently has no entries or data. In SAP, output variables are often grouped together, and if the group is empty, any changes made to the output variable will not have any effect.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the output determination settings, such as missing conditions or incorrect assignment of output types to the relevant documents.
  Data Availability: The data required to trigger the output may not be available or may not meet the necessary conditions for the output to be generated.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Group Configuration: Ensure that the group to which the output variable belongs is correctly configured and contains the necessary entries. If the group is empty, you may need to populate it with the relevant data.
  Review Output Determination: Go through the output determination procedure to ensure that the output type is correctly assigned and that the conditions for triggering the output are met.
  Data Validation: Verify that the data associated with the document or transaction is complete and meets the criteria for generating the output. This may involve checking the status of the document or ensuring that all required fields are filled.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the output generation process to confirm that the error no longer occurs and that the output is generated as expected.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Output Types: Familiarize yourself with the output types relevant to your business process. Each output type has specific conditions and configurations that determine when and how it is triggered.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like NACE (for output types) or SPRO (for configuration) to access and modify output settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on configuring output management and troubleshooting related issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
