• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VLA032 - No output type selected ?

  The SAP error message VLA032: No output type selected typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when trying to process a document (like a sales order, delivery, or invoice) that requires an output type for communication (e.g., printing, emailing, etc.), but none has been selected or configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Output Type: The document you are trying to process does not have an output type assigned to it.
  Output Type Configuration: The output type may not be configured correctly in the system.
  Document Status: The document may not be in a status that allows for output processing.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to select or process output types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code NACE (or SPRO for configuration).
  Navigate to the relevant application area (e.g., Sales, Delivery, Billing).
  Check if the output type you need is defined and configured correctly.
  Ensure that the output type is assigned to the relevant document type.
  
  
  
  Assign Output Type:
  
  If the output type is missing, you can assign it manually in the document.

  Select the appropriate output type from the list.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Ensure that the document is in a status that allows for output processing. For example, a sales order must be fully saved and not in a draft state.
