• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KH088 - Spool order created for complete report (number &) ?

  The SAP error message KH088 indicates that a spool order has been created for a complete report. This message is typically informational rather than an error, meaning that it is notifying you that a spool request has been generated for the report you are trying to run. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Spool Request Creation: The message KH088 is generated when a report is executed in SAP that produces output that is sent to a spool. This is common for reports that generate large amounts of data or require formatting for printing.
  Report Configuration: The report may be configured to automatically create a spool request upon execution.
  User Settings: User-specific settings in SAP may dictate that reports are always sent to a spool.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Spool Request: 
  
  Go to transaction code SP01 to view the spool requests. You can check the status of the spool request and see if it has been processed or if there are any issues with it.
  Look for the spool request number mentioned in the error message to find the specific report output.
  
  
  
  Review Output Device Settings:
  
  Ensure that the output device settings are correctly configured. You can check this in transaction code SPAD (Spool Administration).
  Make sure that the output device is available and properly configured to handle the report output.
  
  
  
  Adjust Report Execution Settings:
  
  If you do not want the report to create a spool request, you can adjust the settings in the report execution screen. Look for options related to output or spool settings.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors in Spool:
  
  If the spool request is not processed correctly, check for any errors in the spool request details. This can provide insights into what went wrong.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  If you are unsure about the report or its settings, consult the documentation or help files related to the specific report you are running.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Spool Administration (SPAD): This transaction allows you to manage spool requests and output devices.
  Spool Request Management (SP01): Use this transaction to view and manage spool requests.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific report or transaction you are using.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create and manage spool requests.
  
  In summary, the KH088 message is generally not an error but an informational message indicating that a spool order has been created. You can manage and review the spool request to ensure that it is processed correctly.
