  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLS_LORD102 - Output type &1 does not support the medium 'print output' ?

    The SAP error message SLS_LORD102 indicates that the output type specified (denoted as &1 in the message) does not support the medium 'print output'. This typically occurs when trying to print a document or output that is not configured correctly in the SAP system.

    Cause:

    1. Output Type Configuration: The output type you are trying to use may not be configured to support printing. This can happen if the output type is set up only for electronic communication (like email or fax) and not for print.
    2. Medium Settings: The medium settings for the output type may not include 'print output'. Each output type can be configured to support various media types, and if 'print' is not included, you will encounter this error.
    3. Document Type: The document type associated with the output may not be compatible with the output type you are trying to use.
    4. User Authorizations: Sometimes, user authorizations can restrict the ability to use certain output types.

    Solution:

    1. Check Output Type Configuration:

      • Go to transaction NACE (or SPRO for customizing).
      • Navigate to the relevant application area (e.g., Sales and Distribution, Purchasing).
      • Find the output type in question and check its configuration.
      • Ensure that the output type is set up to support 'print output' as a medium.
    2. Modify Medium Settings:

      • In the output type configuration, check the 'Medium' settings.
      • Ensure that 'Print Output' is selected as one of the allowed media types.
    3. Review Document Type:

      • Ensure that the document type you are working with is compatible with the output type.
      • If necessary, create a new output type that is compatible with the document type.
    4. Check User Authorizations:

      • Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to use the output type.
      • Consult with your SAP security team if needed.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes, test the output again to see if the error persists.

    Related Information:
