  The SAP error message "PO102 Spool request & deleted" typically indicates that a spool request has been deleted or is no longer available in the system. This can happen for various reasons, such as the spool request being manually deleted, the spool request being automatically deleted after a certain period, or issues with the spool server.
  Causes:
  
  Manual Deletion: The spool request may have been manually deleted by a user or administrator.
  Automatic Deletion: SAP has settings that automatically delete spool requests after a certain time period or when the spool is full.
  Spool Server Issues: Problems with the spool server or configuration issues can lead to spool requests being deleted unexpectedly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the spool request.

  Check Spool Administration: Go to transaction code SP01 to check the status of spool requests. You can filter by user or date to see if the request is still available.
