  Output type & was sent for object &
  
  1. Cause
  This message is an informational or warning message indicating that an output type (such as an invoice, purchase order, delivery note, etc.) has been successfully sent for a particular object (like a document number).
  
  The message is generated when an output (print, email, EDI, etc.) is processed and sent for a business object.
  It is not an error but a confirmation that the output processing has taken place.
  The placeholders & are replaced by the actual output type and the object number in the runtime message.
  
  
  2. Solution
  Since this is an informational message, no corrective action is usually required. However, if you are seeing this message unexpectedly or want to ensure proper output processing, consider the following:
  
  
  Verify Output Type Configuration:
  
  Check the output type configuration in transaction NACE (or the newer output management in S/4HANA) to ensure the output type is correctly set up for the relevant application (e.g., purchasing, billing).
  
  
  Check Output Determination:
  
  Confirm that the output determination procedure is correctly maintained and that the output type is correctly assigned to the document type and partner functions.
  
  
  Review Output Medium:
  
  Ensure the output medium (print, email, EDI) is correctly configured and that the communication method is working.
  
  
  Monitor Output Processing:
  
  Use transaction VL71, VF31, or SP01 to monitor output requests and spool requests to confirm that outputs are processed and sent as expected.
  
  
  Check for Errors in Output Processing:
  
  If you expected the output to be sent but it was not, check for errors in the output log or spool requests.
