• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PRINT033 - Reprint not possible since normal print not executed yet ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PRINT033 indicates that a reprint cannot be performed because the normal print job has not been executed yet. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when trying to reprint documents such as delivery notes, labels, or other print forms.
  Cause:
  
  
  Normal Print Not Executed: The primary reason for this error is that the system has not recorded a successful execution of the normal print job for the document you are trying to reprint. This could happen if:
  
  The initial print job was never triggered.
  The print job failed or was canceled.
  The document was created but not printed.
  
  
  
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow for reprinting until the normal print has been completed.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Print Status:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., /SCWM/PRNT for printing) and check the status of the document you are trying to reprint.
  Ensure that the normal print job has been executed successfully.
  
  
  
  Execute Normal Print:
  
  If the normal print has not been executed, initiate the normal print process for the document. This can usually be done from the document's detail screen or through the print management function.
  
  
  
  Review Print Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the print settings and configurations are correctly set up in the system. This includes checking the output type, printer settings, and any relevant conditions that might prevent printing.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors:
  
  If the normal print was attempted but failed, check the spool requests for any error messages. You can do this using transaction SP01 to view spool requests and diagnose any issues.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details related to the printing process in EWM, as there may be additional configurations or prerequisites that need to be met.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/PRNT for printing and SP01 for checking spool requests.
  Output Management: Understand the output management settings in SAP EWM, including output types and conditions that govern when and how documents are printed.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to execute print jobs and access the relevant documents.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the /SCWM/PRINT033 error and successfully execute the print job or reprint as needed.
