  The SAP error message VE579, which states "No print data determined for the communication strategy," typically occurs in the context of output management, particularly when trying to print documents or send output via a communication strategy (like email, fax, or print). This error indicates that the system could not find any print data associated with the specified communication strategy.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Output Type Configuration: The output type may not be properly configured in the system, or it may not be assigned to the relevant document type.
  Incorrect Communication Strategy: The communication strategy defined for the output may not be set up correctly or may not match the document type.

  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the output data.
