• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IW253 - Shop papers will be printed/faxed after saving ?

  The SAP error message IW253 indicates that shop papers (such as work orders, notifications, etc.) will be printed or faxed after saving the document. This message is not necessarily an error but rather a notification that the printing or faxing process is scheduled to occur after the current transaction is saved.
  Cause:
  
  Document Status: The system is set up to print or fax shop papers only after the document is saved. This is a standard behavior in SAP to ensure that the document is finalized before any output is generated.
  Output Configuration: The output type for the document may be configured to trigger printing or faxing only upon saving.
  User Settings: User-specific settings or defaults may dictate how and when outputs are processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Save the Document: To proceed with the printing or faxing of the shop papers, simply save the document. After saving, the system will automatically process the output as configured.
  Check Output Settings: If you want to change the behavior, you can review the output settings for the specific document type in the configuration. This may involve:
  
  Accessing the output determination settings in the relevant transaction (e.g., SPRO for customizing).
  Adjusting the conditions under which outputs are triggered.
  
  
  Review User Parameters: Check if there are any user-specific parameters that might affect output processing. This can be done in the user profile settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on output management and configuration.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like IW31 (Create Work Order), IW32 (Change Work Order), or IW33 (Display Work Order) to manage work orders.
  Output Types: Familiarize yourself with the output types relevant to your documents (e.g., work orders, maintenance notifications) and how they are configured in the system.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or enhancements related to output processing.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the output does not occur as expected after saving, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team for further investigation.
