• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL085 - No output has been selected for printing ?

  The SAP error message VL085 ("No output has been selected for printing") typically occurs when you attempt to print a delivery document, but there are no output types configured or selected for that document. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating delivery notes, picking lists, or other related documents.
  Causes:
  
  Output Type Not Configured: The output type for the delivery document may not be configured 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.

  Incorrect Output Determination Procedure: The output determination procedure may not be set up correctly for the delivery type.
  User Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the output types.
  
  Solutions:
