  The SAP error message GR701 "End of page has been reached" typically occurs during the printing or output processing of documents, such as invoices, delivery notes, or other forms. This error indicates that the system has reached the end of the defined page layout in the print form, and it cannot continue to print the content as expected.
  Causes:
