This message typically occurs when a report or transaction generates output that is intended to be printed or saved as a spool request. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause
  
  Spool Request Creation: The error message is not necessarily an error but an informational message indicating that the output of a report or transaction has been directed to the spool system.
  Output Device Configuration: The output device may not be configured correctly, or the spool system may be experiencing issues.
  User Settings: The user may have settings that direct output to the spool instead of displaying it on the screen.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Spool Requests:
  
  Go to transaction SP01 to view the spool requests. You can check if the report output is available there.
  If the spool request is present, you can print it or download it as needed.
  
  
  
  Output Device Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the output device is correctly configured in transaction SPAD. Check if the device is active and properly set up.
  Verify that the device type is compatible with the output format you are trying to generate.
  
  
  
  User Output Settings:
  
  Check your user settings in transaction SU3 under the "Defaults" tab. Ensure that the output settings are configured according to your preferences (e.g., whether to display output immediately or send it to the spool).
  
  
  
  Review Report Settings:
  
  If you are running a specific report, check if there are parameters or settings within the report that dictate how the output is handled.
  
  
  
  Spool Administration:
  
  If there are issues with the spool system itself (e.g., spool overflow, errors in the spool server), you may need to consult with your SAP Basis team to resolve these issues.
