SI_OUTPUT014
- Item messages are not supported by SAP S/4HANA-based output management. ?The SAP error message SI_OUTPUT014 indicates that item messages are not supported in the context of SAP S/4HANA-based output management. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to use item-level output messages in a scenario where only header-level messages are supported.
Cause:
- Output Management Configuration: In SAP S/4HANA, the output management framework has been redesigned, and it primarily supports header-level output messages. If your configuration or custom development attempts to use item-level messages, this will trigger the error.
- Document Type: Certain document types or output types may not support item-level messages, leading to this error when trying to process them.
- Legacy Code: If you are migrating from an older version of SAP (like ECC) to S/4HANA, there may be legacy code or configurations that are not compatible with the new output management framework.
Solution:
- Review Output Configuration: Check the output configuration in the SPRO transaction (Customizing) under the relevant application area (e.g., Sales and Distribution, Materials Management). Ensure that you are using the correct output types that are compatible with S/4HANA.
- Use Header-Level Messages: Modify your output determination logic to use header-level messages instead of item-level messages. This may involve changing the output type settings or adjusting the output determination procedure.
- Custom Development: If you have custom developments that rely on item-level messages, you may need to refactor this code to align with the S/4HANA output management framework.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for output management in S/4HANA to understand the limitations and supported features.
- SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue or provide additional guidance on output management in S/4HANA.
