• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PO107 - No output request exists for this device ?

  The SAP error message "PO107 No output request exists for this device" typically occurs when the system is unable to find an output request for a specific device (like a printer) for a purchase order (PO) or other document. This can happen for several reasons, and here are some common causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  No Output Determination: The output determination procedure may not be set up correctly for the document type or the specific purchase order.
  Missing Output Condition Records: There may be no condition records defined for the output type in the output determination procedure.
  Incorrect Device Configuration: The device (printer) may not be configured correctly in the system or may not be assigned to the output type.
  Output Type Not Assigned: The output type may not be assigned to the document type or the specific purchase order.
  Document Status: The document may not be in a status that allows for output processing.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Output Determination:
  
  Go to the transaction code NACE (Output Determination) and check the output type for the relevant application (e.g., Purchasing).
  Ensure that the output type is correctly configured and that the output determination procedure is assigned to the document type.
  
  
  
  Create/Update Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction code MN21 to create or update condition records for the output type. Ensure that the necessary conditions are met for the output to be generated.
  
  
  
  Verify Device Configuration:
  
  Check the device configuration in transaction code SPAD (Spool Administration). Ensure that the printer is correctly set up and is active.
  Make sure that the printer is assigned to the output type in the output determination settings.
  
  
  
  Assign Output Type:
  
  Ensure that the output type is assigned to the purchase order or document type. This can be done in the configuration settings for the relevant application.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify that the purchase order is in a status that allows for output processing. If the document is not complete or is in a status that does not allow output, you may need to change its status.
  
  
  
  Test Output Generation:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to generate the output again to see if the issue is resolved.
