• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KH153 - The SAP title page was deactivated for the printout ?

  The SAP error message KH153, which states "The SAP title page was deactivated for the printout," typically occurs when the system is configured not to print the title page for certain documents or reports. This can happen for various reasons, including user settings, system configurations, or specific print settings in the SAP environment.
  Cause:
  
  User Settings: The user may have set their print preferences to disable the title page.
  Print Configuration: The print configuration in the SAP system may have been set to suppress the title page for specific document types.
  Document Type: Certain document types or reports may not require a title page, leading to this message.
  SAP Script or Smart Forms: If the document is generated using SAP Script or Smart Forms, the title page may be explicitly disabled in the form design.
