• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OD452 - TSW output determination not maintained for partner function &1 ?

  The SAP error message OD452 indicates that the output determination for a specific partner function is not maintained in the system. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP TSW (Trading and Settlement with Contracts) module when trying to process output types for documents such as sales orders, contracts, or other transactional documents.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of configuration for output determination for the specified partner function. This means that the system does not know how to handle output (like print, email, etc.) for the given partner function in the context of the document being processed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to maintain the output determination settings for the relevant partner function. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access Output Determination Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: 
  SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Output Control -> Output Determination -> Maintain Output Types
  
  
  
  
  Check Output Type:
  
  Identify the output type that is causing the issue. This is usually specified in the error message or can be inferred from the context of the transaction.
  
  
  
  Maintain Output Determination Procedure:
  
  In the output determination configuration, check if the output type is assigned to the relevant output determination procedure.
  Ensure that the partner function is included in the output determination procedure for the output type.
  
  
  
  Assign Partner Function:
  
  If the partner function is not assigned, you will need to add it. This can be done by editing the output determination procedure and including the necessary partner function.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the output determination by processing the document again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Partner Functions: These are roles that a business partner can play in a transaction (e.g., sold-to party, ship-to party, payer, etc.). Each partner function may require different output settings.
  Output Types: These define how information is communicated (e.g., print, email, fax) and are linked to specific documents in SAP.
  Output Determination Procedure: This is a set of rules that determine how outputs are generated based on the document type, partner function, and other criteria.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation, as there could be additional configuration or authorization issues at play.
