  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER065 - Printing not possible; no Smart Form found ?

    The SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER065 Printing not possible; no Smart Form found typically indicates that the system is unable to find a Smart Form associated with the document you are trying to print. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to print an order, delivery, or any other document that relies on Smart Forms for output.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Smart Form: The Smart Form that is supposed to be used for printing the document is not created or is not activated in the system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The output type or the associated Smart Form may not be correctly configured in the output determination settings.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the Smart Form.
    4. Transport Issues: If the Smart Form was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or may not exist in the target system.

    Solution:

    1. Check Smart Form Existence:

      • Go to transaction SMARTFORMS and check if the Smart Form exists. If it does not, you may need to create it or transport it from another system.
    2. Check Output Type Configuration:

      • Use transaction NACE to check the output type configuration for the relevant application (e.g., Sales Order, Delivery, etc.).
      • Ensure that the output type is correctly assigned to the Smart Form. You can check the output type settings and verify that the correct Smart Form is linked.
    3. Activate Smart Form:

      • If the Smart Form exists but is not activated, activate it in the SMARTFORMS transaction.
    4. Check User Authorizations:

      • Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and execute the Smart Form.
    5. Transport Issues:

      • If the Smart Form was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that it was transported successfully. If not, you may need to re-transport it.
    6. Debugging:

      • If the issue persists, you can debug the output determination process to see where it fails to find the Smart Form.

    Related Information:

    • Smart Forms: Smart Forms is a tool in SAP for designing and maintaining forms for mass printing. It allows for the creation of forms without the need for programming knowledge.
    • Output Determination: This is the process in SAP that determines how and when documents are printed or sent out. It involves configuration in transaction NACE.
