• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRBENUS_ACA105 - Job canceled; provide printing device for execution in background ?

  The SAP error message HRBENUS_ACA105: Job canceled; provide printing device for execution in background typically occurs when a background job is executed without a specified output device for printing. This is common in scenarios where reports or forms need to be printed as part of the job execution, but the system does not have a designated printer or output device configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Output Device: The job is set to print output, but no output device is specified in the job settings.
  Incorrect Job Configuration: The background job may not have been configured correctly to include an output device.
  User Authorization: The user executing the job may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified output device.
  Device Availability: The specified output device may be offline or not available.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify an Output Device:
  
  Go to the transaction code SM37 to view the job logs.
  Find the job that was canceled and check its configuration.
  If the job is set to print, ensure that an output device is specified. You can do this by editing the job and selecting a valid output device.
  
  
  
  Check Job Configuration:
  
  If you are creating or scheduling a new job, ensure that you specify the output device in the job scheduling options.
  In the job definition, look for the "Spool Parameters" section and ensure that an output device is selected.
  
  
  
  Verify User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user who scheduled the job has the necessary authorizations to access the output device.
  Check the user roles and profiles to confirm that they have the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Check Device Status:
  
  Go to transaction SPAD (Spool Administration) to check the status of the output devices.
  Ensure that the output device you are trying to use is active and available for printing.
  
  
  
  Use Default Output Device:
  
  If you do not have a specific output device, you can set a default output device in your user profile settings. This can be done in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) under the "Defaults" tab.
