• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GR420 - No reports have been outputted ?

  The SAP error message GR420 ("No reports have been outputted") typically occurs in the context of the Goods Receipt (GR) process, particularly when trying to print or generate reports related to goods movements. This error indicates that the system did not find any output to process for the specified action.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Output Determination: The output determination procedure may not be set up correctly for the document type you are working with. This can happen if the output type is not assigned to the document or if the conditions for output determination are not met.
  
  
  Output Type Not Configured: The specific output type you are trying to use may not be configured in the system.
  
  
  Document Status: The document may not be in a status that allows for output generation. For example, if the goods receipt is not fully processed or is in a draft state.
  
  
  Missing Printer Configuration: There may be issues with the printer configuration or the output device settings in the SAP system.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to generate or print the report.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Output Determination:
  
  Go to the transaction code NACE to check the output types and their configuration for the relevant application area (e.g., MM for materials management).
  Ensure that the output type is correctly assigned to the document type and that the conditions for output determination are met.
  
  
  
  Configure Output Type:
  
  If the output type is not configured, you may need to create or modify it in the output determination settings.
  
  
  
  Review Document Status:
  
  Ensure that the goods receipt document is fully processed and in a status that allows for output generation.
  
  
  
  Check Printer Settings:
  
  Verify that the printer is correctly configured in the SAP system. You can check this in transaction SPAD (Spool Administration).
  Ensure that the output device is available and properly set up.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the output action. This may involve reviewing user roles and permissions.
  
  
  
  Test Output Generation:
  
  Try generating the output for a different document to see if the issue is specific to one document or a broader system issue.
