• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FB811 - Address could not be determined for vendor &; no output ?

  The SAP error message FB811 ("Address could not be determined for vendor &; no output") typically occurs when the system is unable to find a valid address for a vendor during the processing of a financial document, such as an invoice or payment. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to print a payment advice or when generating a document that requires vendor address information.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Vendor Address: The vendor master data may not have a valid address maintained.
  Incorrect Vendor Master Data: The vendor may be marked as inactive or may not be set up correctly in the system.
  Output Type Configuration: The output type for the document may not be configured correctly to pull the vendor address.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the vendor master data or related tables.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the vendor's address information.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction code XK03 (or MK03 for purchasing) to display the vendor master data.
  Ensure that the address details are correctly maintained, including street, city, postal code, and country.
  Verify that the vendor is active and not marked for deletion.
  
  
  
  Review Output Type Configuration:
  
  Check the output type settings in transaction code NACE for the relevant application area (e.g., Financial Accounting).
  Ensure that the output type is correctly configured to retrieve the vendor address.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Inconsistencies:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE16N to check the relevant tables (e.g., LFA1 for vendor master) for any inconsistencies or missing data.
  If necessary, correct any inconsistencies found.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Vendors:
  
  Try processing the same document with a different vendor that has a complete address to see if the issue is specific to one vendor.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view vendor master data. This can be checked with the security team or through transaction SU53 after an authorization error occurs.
