• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VB613 - Output initiated ?

  The SAP error message VB613 ("Output initiated") typically indicates that an output (such as a print job, email, or other communication) has been triggered for a document, such as a sales order or delivery. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the output process has started.
  Cause:
  
  Output Determination: The output has been determined based on the output condition records set up in the system. This could be due to a change in the document status or a manual trigger.
  Document Status: The document (e.g., sales order, delivery) has reached a status that requires output processing.
  Output Type Configuration: The output type has been configured to trigger automatically based on certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Output Configuration: Review the output type configuration in transaction NACE (for Sales and Distribution) or the relevant application area. Ensure that the output type is set up correctly and that the conditions for triggering the output are met.
  Review Output Logs: Use transaction SP01 to check the output logs. This will help you see if the output was successfully processed or if there were any issues during the output processing.
  Check for Errors: If the output did not complete successfully, look for any error messages in the output logs that could indicate what went wrong.
  Manual Output Trigger: If necessary, you can manually trigger the output by using the appropriate transaction (e.g., VA02 for sales orders) and selecting the output option.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the output type and its configuration.
