• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARP_BLNC_CNFRM018 - In print bundling, letters can be printed only once. ?

  The SAP error message FARP_BLNC_CNFRM018 indicates that in the context of print bundling, a letter or document can only be printed once. This error typically arises in scenarios where the system is trying to print a document that has already been printed or processed, and the configuration does not allow for reprinting.
  Cause:
  
  Single Print Configuration: The system is configured to allow each document to be printed only once. This is often a business requirement to prevent duplicate documents from being sent out.
  Document Status: The document may already have a status indicating that it has been printed or processed, which prevents it from being printed again.
  Print Bundling Settings: The settings related to print bundling may restrict the printing of documents that have already been bundled and printed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document in question. If it has already been printed, you may need to create a new instance of the document or change its status to allow for reprinting.
  Adjust Configuration: If reprinting is necessary, consider adjusting the configuration settings in the print bundling process to allow for multiple prints. This may involve changes in the customizing settings of the SAP system.
  Create a New Document: If the document needs to be sent again, you may need to create a new document or a new print request for the same content.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator to understand the specific settings related to print bundling and document printing in your system.
