  SAP Error Message: VN064
  Message Text:
  
  Output selected for the vendor is not maintained.
  
  Cause
  The error message VN064 occurs when you try to process or print an output (such as a purchase order, invoice, or payment advice) for a vendor, but the system cannot find the output determination maintained for that vendor in the relevant purchasing or accounting document.
  In other words, the output type (e.g., print, email, EDI) you are trying to use is not assigned or configured for the vendor in the output determination procedure.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During purchase order processing (ME21N, ME22N, ME23N) when trying to print or send output.
  During invoice processing or payment runs when output is triggered.
  When output determination is triggered but no output medium or partner function is maintained for the vendor.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Output Determination Procedure:
  
  Go to the output determination configuration for the relevant application (e.g., Purchasing, FI).
  Verify that the output type you want to use is assigned to the output determination procedure.
  
  
  
  Maintain Output for Vendor:
  
  Go to vendor master data (transaction XK02 or FK02).
  Navigate to the Purchasing or Accounting view depending on the output type.
  Maintain the output medium (print, email, EDI) and output type for the vendor.
  Ensure that the partner function and output device are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction MN04 (Purchasing output condition records) or NACE (Output determination) to check if condition records exist for the output type and vendor.
  If missing, create the necessary condition records.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Functions:
  
  Ensure that the vendor has the correct partner functions assigned that are relevant for output determination.
  
  
  
  Test Output:
  
  After maintaining the above, try to trigger the output again.
  Use transaction ME9F (Message output for purchase orders) or relevant output transaction to test.
