• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PO521 - Print request &1/&2 created ?

  The SAP error message PO521 ("Print request &1/&2 created") is not actually an error message but rather an informational message indicating that a print request has been successfully created for a purchase order (PO). The message typically includes placeholders for the print request number and the document number, which are represented by &1 and &2, respectively.
  Cause:
  
  The message is triggered when a print request is generated for a purchase order. This can occur during various processes, such as when a user manually triggers a print job or when a print job is automatically generated by the system based on certain conditions (e.g., after a purchase order is created or modified).
  
  Solution:
  Since PO521 is an informational message rather than an error, there is no specific "solution" required. However, if you are looking to manage or troubleshoot print requests, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Print Request Status: You can check the status of the print request in the SAP system to ensure it has been processed correctly. Use transaction codes like SP01 (Spool Request) to view the spool requests.
  
  
  Review Output Configuration: If you need to adjust how print requests are generated, you may want to review the output configuration for purchase orders. This can be done in the output determination settings (transaction code NACE).
  
  
  Monitor Printer Settings: Ensure that the printer settings are correctly configured and that the printer is online and functioning properly.
  
  
  Check for Errors: If you are experiencing issues with printing (e.g., the print request is not being printed), check for any error messages in the spool request or in the output log.
  
  
  User Training: If users are unfamiliar with how to handle print requests, consider providing training on the printing process within SAP.
