• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPPF060 - The BAdI for printer determination does not return a printer ?

  The SAP error message SPPF060 indicates that the Business Add-In (BAdI) for printer determination did not return a valid printer. This typically occurs in scenarios where the system is trying to determine a printer for output (like printing invoices, delivery notes, etc.), but the logic defined in the BAdI does not yield a printer.
  Causes:
  
  BAdI Implementation Issues: The BAdI implementation may not be correctly configured or activated. If the logic within the BAdI does not return a printer, this error will occur.
  Missing Printer Configuration: The printer may not be defined in the system or may not be assigned to the user or the output type.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the printer.
  Output Type Settings: The output type settings may not be correctly configured to allow for printer determination.
  Logical Destination Issues: The logical destination for the printer may not be set up correctly in the system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check BAdI Implementation:
  
  Go to transaction SE18 or SE19 to check the implementation of the BAdI for printer determination (usually SP_PRINT or similar).
  Ensure that the implementation is active and correctly coded to return a valid printer.
  
  
  
  Verify Printer Configuration:
  
  Check if the printer is defined in the system using transaction SPAD (Spool Administration).
  Ensure that the printer is correctly configured and is in an active state.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the printer. Check the user roles and profiles to ensure they include access to the required printer.
  
  
  
  Output Type Configuration:
  
  Check the output type settings in transaction NACE (Output Types) to ensure that the output type is correctly configured for printer determination.
  
  
  
  Logical Destination:
  
  Ensure that the logical destination for the printer is correctly set up. You can check this in transaction SPAD under the "Logical Destinations" section.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the BAdI implementation to see why it is not returning a printer. This may involve checking the input parameters and the logic used to determine the printer.
