• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EB062 - No print documents were prepared ?

  The SAP error message EB062 ("No print documents were prepared") typically occurs when a user attempts to print documents (such as invoices, purchase orders, etc.) but the system does not find any documents that meet the criteria for printing. This can happen for several reasons. Below are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  No Documents Available: There may simply be no documents that match the selection criteria specified in the print program.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The parameters entered for the print job may be too restrictive, leading to no documents being selected.
  Document Status: The documents you are trying to print may not be in a status that allows printing (e.g., they may be in a draft state).
  Output Type Configuration: The output type for the document may not be configured correctly, or it may not be assigned to the document.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or print the documents.
  Technical Issues: There may be issues with the print spooler or printer configuration in the SAP system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Document Availability: Verify that there are documents available for printing that meet the selection criteria. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction or report.
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria you are using to print the documents are correct and not overly restrictive.
  Check Document Status: Make sure that the documents you are trying to print are in a status that allows printing. If they are in draft or incomplete status, they may need to be finalized first.
  Output Type Configuration: Check the configuration of the output type in the relevant customizing settings (transaction SPRO). Ensure that the output type is correctly assigned to the document type.
  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to print the documents. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  Check Print Spooler: Ensure that the print spooler is functioning correctly. You can check the spool requests in transaction SP01 to see if there are any errors.
  Test with Different Parameters: Try printing with different parameters or for a different document to see if the issue persists.
  
  Related Information:
