  Error Message
  VN031: Enter a time for processing output &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you are trying to process or schedule output (such as purchase order output, delivery notes, invoices, etc.) in SAP, and the system expects you to specify a time for processing the output, but no time has been entered.
  In many SAP output processing transactions (e.g., ME9F for purchase order output), when you schedule the output to be processed at a later time (background processing), the system requires you to specify the exact time when the output should be processed. If this time is missing, the system throws the VN031 error.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When scheduling output to be processed in the background.
  When using transaction codes related to output processing (e.g., ME9F, VL71, VF31).
  When the output type is set to be processed
