How To Fix EI330 - Inconsistent settings in print control for output &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EI - Foreign Trade: Gen. Output

• Message number: 330

• Message text: Inconsistent settings in print control for output &1

What causes this issue?

The settings for output type <ZH>&V1&</> in print control for foreign
trade ouputs were checked. Plant-dependent entries were found to have
different or conflicting field settings.
Differing plant-dependent settings in print control for foreign trade
outputs could cause problems when output &V1& is printed or displayed.
This is especially valid for business documents (SD invoices, etc.),
whose document items are supplied by different plants (documents are
not exclusive to one plant). If there are differences in the
plant-dependent entries for foreign trade output print control for
these plants, the system stops output &V1& from being printed or
displayed.
Print or display of output &V1& is unaffected if the document in
question is a business document exclusive to one plant.

System Response

The system informs you of this fact.

How to fix this error?

Check your settings. Maintain plant-dependent entries with identical
settings where possible.
Make sure to check whether output &V1& has different number range
objects and/or number range intervals assigned to it.
