  SAP Message VN033
  Message Text:
  Outputs were processed in total & ( & successfully, & incorrectly)
  
  Meaning / Cause
  
  
  This message is an informational message (not an error) that appears during the output processing in SAP, typically in the Logistics Invoice Verification (LIV) or Purchasing modules.
  
  
  It summarizes the results of the output determination and processing run.
  
  
  The placeholders & are replaced by numbers indicating:
  
  Total number of outputs processed
  Number of outputs processed successfully
  Number of outputs processed incorrectly (with errors)
  
  
  
  The message indicates that some outputs (such as printouts, emails, EDI messages, or IDocs) were processed, and some may have failed.
  
  
  
  Common Causes for Incorrect Outputs
  
  Incorrect or incomplete output configuration (output types, condition records)
  Communication errors (printer issues, email server problems, EDI subsystem errors)
  Missing or incorrect partner profiles or output device settings
  Authorization issues for output processing
  Data inconsistencies or missing mandatory fields in the document triggering output
  Technical problems in the output medium (e.g., spool errors, network issues)
  
  
  Solution / Troubleshooting Steps
  
  
  Check Output Logs:
  
  Go to the output log for the document (e.g., invoice, purchase order).
  Use transaction codes like:
  
  VL71 (Output Controller)
  SP01 (Spool Request)
  NACE (Output Types configuration)
  WE02 / WE05 (for IDoc monitoring)
  
  
  Identify which outputs failed and note the error messages.
  
  
  
  Analyze Error Details:
  
  Review the error messages or status for the failed outputs.
  Check for missing data, incorrect partner profiles, or communication errors.
  
  
  
  Check Output Configuration:
  
  Verify output determination procedure and condition records.
  Ensure output types are correctly configured for the document type.
  Check partner profiles (transaction WE20) for EDI/IDoc outputs.
  
  
  
  Check Communication Settings:
  
  For print outputs, verify printer availability and spool system.
  For email outputs, check SMTP configuration and email addresses.
  For EDI/IDoc, check ALE/EDI configuration and partner profiles.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Outputs:
  
  After fixing the issues, reprocess the outputs manually or via batch jobs.
  Use transaction VL71 or document-specific output processing screens.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure the user or background job has the necessary authorizations to process outputs.
