This error typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) processes when trying to generate output (like invoices, order confirmations, etc.) for sales documents.
  Cause:
  
  Output Type Not Active: The output type may not be configured to be active in the system. This can happen if the output type was never activated or if it was deactivated for some reason.
  Output Type Deleted: The output type may have been deleted from the system, either intentionally or accidentally.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings related to the output type in the output determination procedure.
  Document Type Issues: The document type associated with the output may not be correctly linked to the output type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code NACE (or SPRO for configuration).
  Navigate to the relevant application area (e.g., Sales and Distribution).
  Check the output type in question to ensure it is active. If it is not, activate it.
  
  
  
  Verify Output Determination Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the output type is included in the output determination procedure for the relevant document type (e.g., sales order, delivery, invoice).
  Check the condition records for the output type to ensure they are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check for Deletion:
  
  If the output type has been deleted, you may need to recreate it. This can be done in the same configuration area where you check for active output types.
  
  
  
  Review Document Type Settings:
  
  Ensure that the document type you are working with is correctly configured to use the output type. This can be checked in the configuration settings for the specific document type.
