• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VA059 - No output have been issued for & ?

  The SAP error message VA059 ("No output has been issued for &") typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when there is an attempt to process output for a sales document (like a sales order) that has not been generated or issued. This message indicates that the system could not find any output records for the specified document.
  Causes:
  
  Output Type Not Defined: The output type for the document may not be defined in the system.
  Output Condition Records Missing: There may be no condition records for the output type, meaning the system does not know when to trigger the output.
  Output Processing Not Triggered: The output processing may not have been triggered for the document.
  Document Status: The status of the document may not allow for output processing (e.g., it may be in a status that does not permit output).
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for output determination may not be set up correctly in the system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction NACE to check the output type configuration for sales documents.
  Ensure that the output type you are trying to use is defined and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Create Condition Records:
  
  If the output type is defined but no condition records exist, create the necessary condition records using transaction NACE or VV11 (for sales documents).
  Ensure that the correct access sequence is assigned to the output type.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify the status of the sales document to ensure it is in a state that allows for output processing.
  If the document is not complete or is in a blocked status, resolve those issues first.
  
  
  
  Trigger Output Processing:
  
  If the output processing was not triggered, you can manually trigger it by going to the sales document and using the output function (e.g., using transaction VA02 to change the document and then trigger output).
  
  
  
  Review Output Determination Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the output determination procedure is correctly assigned to the sales document type and that it includes the necessary output types.
  
  
  
  Check for User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If there are any custom developments or user exits that might affect output processing, review them to ensure they are not causing the issue.
