• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message V_O2C103 - No output type defined: Print preview not possible ?

  The SAP error message "V_O2C103 No output type defined: Print preview not possible" typically occurs in the context of sales documents, such as sales orders or delivery documents, when the system is unable to generate a print preview because there is no output type defined for the document.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Output Type: The primary cause of this error is that the output type for the document has not been defined in the system. Output types are necessary for generating print previews and actual print outputs.
  Configuration Issues: The output type may not be configured correctly in the output determination procedure.
  Document Type: The specific document type may not have an associated output type defined in the configuration.
  User Authorizations: Sometimes, user authorizations may restrict access to certain output types.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code NACE (or SPRO for configuration).
  Navigate to the relevant application area (e.g., Sales and Distribution).
  Check the output types defined for the specific document type (e.g., Sales Order, Delivery).
  Ensure that there is at least one output type defined for the document type you are working with.
  
  
  
  Define Output Type:
  
  If no output type is defined, you can create one by:
  
  Selecting the appropriate output type (e.g., NEU for new sales orders).
  Configuring the output type settings, including the medium (e.g., print, email) and the associated form (e.g., SAPscript, SmartForms).
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Output Determination Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the output determination procedure is correctly assigned to the document type.
  Verify that the condition records for the output type are maintained (transaction code VV31 for creating condition records).
  
  
  
  Test Output Type:
  
  After making changes, test the output type by trying to generate a print preview again.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the output types. Check the user roles and authorizations if needed.
