• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message T0746 - 'FAX' has not been selected ?

  The SAP error message T0746, which states that 'FAX' has not been selected, typically occurs in the context of output determination, particularly when dealing with output types for documents such as sales orders, purchase orders, or invoices. This error indicates that the system is expecting a fax output type to be selected, but it has not been configured or chosen in the relevant output settings.
  Cause:
  
  Output Type Configuration: The output type for fax (often denoted as 'FAX') has not been properly configured in the output determination procedure.
  Output Condition Records: There may be no condition records created for the fax output type, meaning the system does not know when to use this output type.
  User Settings: The user or document settings may not have the fax output type selected, leading to this error when trying to process the document.
  Document Type Settings: The specific document type may not have been set up to allow fax outputs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code NACE (or SPRO for customizing).
  Navigate to the relevant application area (e.g., Sales, Purchasing).
  Check the output types and ensure that 'FAX' is configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Create/Update Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction code VV21 (for sales) or MEK1 (for purchasing) to create or update condition records for the fax output type.
  Ensure that the necessary conditions are met for the output type to be triggered.
  
  
  
  Select Output Type in Document:
  
  When creating or processing the document (e.g., sales order), ensure that the fax output type is selected in the output section.
  You can usually find this in the output tab of the document.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Settings:
  
  Ensure that the document type you are working with is configured to allow fax outputs.
  This can be checked in the output determination settings for that specific document type.
  
  
  
  User Profile Settings:
  
  Check if the user profile has any specific settings that might be overriding the default output types.
