  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SO321 - Your default document was set ?

    The SAP error message SO321, which states "Your default document was set," typically occurs in the context of SAP's document management or output management systems. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that a default document type or output format has been set for a particular process or transaction.

    Cause:

    1. Default Document Setting: The message is triggered when a user or system action sets a default document type for output (like print, email, etc.) in a specific transaction or process.
    2. User Configuration: It may occur due to user-specific settings in the SAP GUI or user profile settings where a default document type is defined.
    3. System Configuration: It can also be a result of system-wide settings configured by an administrator for document outputs.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Settings:

      • Navigate to the user profile settings in SAP and check if a default document type has been set. You can do this by going to the user settings menu and reviewing the output options.
    2. Review Output Configuration:

      • If you are an administrator, check the output configuration settings in transaction SPAD (Spool Administration) or transaction NACE (Output Types) to ensure that the correct default document types are configured for the relevant application area.
    3. Change Default Document:

      • If you want to change the default document type, you can do so in the relevant transaction or user settings. Look for options to modify the default output settings.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing output types and document settings in your version of SAP.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SPAD (Spool Administration) and NACE (Output Types) for managing output settings.
    • User Profiles: Understand how user profiles can affect default settings and how to manage them.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this message, as there may be patches or updates that address specific scenarios.

    If the message is causing issues with document processing or output, further investigation into the specific transaction or process where the message appears may be necessary.
