  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_MBOOK039 Several spool orders determined - PDF creation not possible typically occurs when the system attempts to generate a PDF document from multiple spool orders, which is not supported. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to print or generate documents that are based on multiple spool requests.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Spool Requests: The error indicates that the system has identified multiple spool orders for the document you are trying to generate. This can happen if the document is split into multiple parts or if there are multiple print requests for the same document.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that lead to the generation of multiple spool requests for a single document.
  Document Type: Certain document types or output types may inherently lead to multiple spool requests being generated.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Spool Requests: Go to transaction SP01 (Spool Request Management) and check the spool requests that have been generated. Identify if there are multiple spool requests for the same document.
  Consolidate Requests: If possible, try to consolidate the requests so that only one spool request is generated for the document you are trying to print or convert to PDF.
  Adjust Output Settings: Review the output settings for the document type in question. Ensure that the configuration is set to generate a single spool request if that is the desired outcome.
  Use Different Output Method: If the document can be printed or exported in a different format (e.g., directly to a printer or as a different file type), consider using that method instead.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as this may resolve known issues related to spool processing.
