  The SAP error message FARP_BLNC_CNFRM016 indicates an issue related to print bundling in the context of financial accounting or document processing. Specifically, it suggests that the dispatch time for print bundling should be set to "SCHEDULED." 
  Cause:

  Ensure that the dispatch time is set to "SCHEDULED." This can usually be found in the configuration for the print control or output management settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Output Parameters:
  
  If you are using transaction codes like SPAD (Spool Administration) or NACE (Output Types), check the output type settings to ensure that the dispatch time is correctly set.
  Look for the output type associated with the document you are trying to print and verify its parameters.
  
  
  
  Review User Settings:
  
  Sometimes, user-specific settings can override system defaults. Check if the user profile has any specific settings that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test to see if the error persists. Try to execute the print job again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration steps, refer to SAP documentation or help resources related to print management and output control.
