• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FB810 - Output language could not be determined for vendor &; no output ?

  The SAP error message FB810 indicates that the system is unable to determine the output language for a vendor, which results in no output being generated for the document you are trying to process (such as an invoice or payment advice). This issue typically arises in the context of printing or generating documents in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Vendor Language Setting: The vendor master record may not have a language specified. The output language is usually derived from the vendor's master data.
  Default Language Settings: The system may not have a default output language set for the user or the company code.
  Output Type Configuration: The output type configuration may not be set up correctly, or the output type may not be assigned to the vendor or document type.
  User Profile Settings: The user profile may not have a language set, which can affect the output generation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction code XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 (Display Vendor - Purchasing).
  Enter the vendor number and check the "Address" tab to ensure that the "Language" field is filled in. If it is blank, update it with the appropriate language code (e.g., EN for English, DE for German).
  
  
  
  Set Default Language:
  
  Ensure that the default language is set in the user profile. You can check this in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) by entering the user ID and checking the "Defaults" tab.
  
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code NACE (Output Control) and check the configuration for the output type you are using (e.g., for invoices, payment advices).
