• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O9802 - No output has been selected for printing ?

  The SAP error message O9802, which states "No output has been selected for printing," typically occurs when a user attempts to print a document or report, but the system does not find any output options that have been selected for that document. This can happen in various contexts, such as when printing invoices, purchase orders, or other documents.
  Causes:
  
  Output Type Not Defined: The output type for the document may not be defined or configured correctly in the system.
  Output Condition Records Missing: There may be no condition records for the output type, meaning the system does not know when to trigger the output.
  Output Determination Procedure: The output determination procedure may not be set up correctly, preventing the system from selecting an output type.
  User Settings: The user may not have the necessary authorizations or settings to trigger the output.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow for printing (e.g., it may be incomplete or not yet finalized).
  Print Parameters: The print parameters may not be set correctly, leading to no output being selected.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., NACE for output types) and ensure that the output type is defined for the document type you are trying to print.
  Verify that the output type is active and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Records:
  
  Check if there are condition records for the output type. You can do this in the same transaction (NACE) or through the relevant application area (e.g., sales, purchasing).
  If records are missing, create them as necessary.
  
  
  
  Verify Output Determination Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the output determination procedure is correctly assigned to the document type and that it includes the output type you want to use.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to trigger the output. This may involve checking user roles and permissions.
  
  
  
  Document Status:
  
  Verify the status of the document. If it is not in a printable state, you may need to complete or finalize it before printing.
  
  
  
  Set Print Parameters:
