• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ID674 - No form selected for printing ?

  The SAP error message ID674 "No form selected for printing" typically occurs when the system is unable to find a valid print form for the document you are trying to print. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when printing invoices, purchase orders, or other documents.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Form Assignment: The document type you are trying to print does not have a form assigned to it in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Output Type: The output type configured for the document may not be linked to a valid form.
  Form Not Created or Deactivated: The form that is supposed to be used for printing may not exist, or it may have been deactivated.
  User Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the form.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings related to output management.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Form Assignment:
  
  Go to the transaction code NACE (for output types) and check if the output type for the document is correctly assigned to a form.
  Ensure that the form is assigned to the correct application area.
  
  
  
  Verify Output Type:
  
  In the same NACE transaction, check the output type settings to ensure that it is correctly configured and linked to the appropriate form.
  
  
  
  Create or Activate the Form:
  
  If the form does not exist, you may need to create it using transaction SMARTFORMS or SE71 (for SAPscript).
  If the form exists but is deactivated, reactivate it.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the form and print documents. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the relevant modules (e.g., SD, MM) to ensure that everything is set up correctly for output management.
