• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICC_CN873 - Caution: Repeat print not checked! ?

  The SAP error message ICC_CN873 "Caution: Repeat print not checked!" typically occurs in the context of printing documents, such as invoices or delivery notes, in SAP. This message serves as a warning that the system has not been configured to check for repeat printing of the document in question. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The warning is often due to the configuration settings in the SAP system that do not enforce checks for repeat printing. This can happen if the print program or form is not set up to track whether a document has already been printed.
  Document Status: The document may not have a status that indicates it has been printed, leading to the system allowing it to be printed again without any checks.
  User Settings: User-specific settings or authorizations may also affect how repeat printing is handled.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP (usually in SPRO) and check the settings for the print program or output type. Ensure that the option for checking repeat prints is enabled.
  Look for settings related to output control in the relevant application area (e.g., Sales and Distribution, Materials Management).
  
  
  
  Review Output Type:
  
  Check the output type associated with the document. Ensure that the output type is configured to check for repeat printing. This can be done in transaction code NACE, where you can find the output type and its settings.
  
  
  
  Document Status:
  
  Ensure that the document you are trying to print has the correct status. If it has already been printed, the system should ideally prevent it from being printed again unless repeat printing is allowed.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to print documents and that their settings do not inadvertently bypass repeat print checks.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on configuring output types and print programs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like NACE (for output types), SPRO (for configuration), and others relevant to your specific module (e.g., VF03 for displaying billing documents).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring repeat print checks.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct tests to ensure that the repeat print check is functioning as expected.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation.
