• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN069 - Output could not be displayed, e.g. Incompletion, Partner blocked ?

  The SAP error message VN069 - Output could not be displayed, e.g. Incompletion, Partner blocked typically occurs in the context of output processing in SAP Logistics (e.g., Purchase Orders, Invoices, etc.). This message indicates that the system was unable to display or process the output due to certain issues such as incomplete data or partner-related blocks.
  
  Cause
  
  
  Incompletion in Output Data:
  
  Required fields or data for output processing are missing or incomplete.
  For example, missing partner address, missing communication details (email, fax, etc.), or missing output medium.
  
  
  
  Partner Blocked:
  
  The business partner (vendor, customer) is blocked for output.
  This can happen if the partner master data has a block indicator set for output or communication.
  
  
  
  Output Condition Not Met:
  
  The output determination procedure did not find a valid output condition record.
  Or the output condition record is inactive or invalid.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Output Medium or Device:
  
  The output medium (print, email, EDI) is not properly configured or the device is unavailable.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues:
  
  User or system lacks authorization to display or process the output.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Output Incompletion Log:
  
  Use transaction ME9F (for Purchase Order outputs) or the relevant output transaction.
  Check the incompletion log to identify missing data fields.
  Complete the missing data in the document or partner master.
  
  
  
  Verify Partner Master Data:
  
  Check the partner master record (e.g., vendor master via XK03, customer master via XD03).
  Ensure the partner is not blocked for output or communication.
  Remove any blocks if not required.
  
  
  
  Check Output Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction NACE to review output types and condition records.
  Ensure that the output condition record is valid, active, and correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Output Medium and Device:
  
  Verify the output medium (print, email, EDI) is correctly set in the output type.
  Check device availability and configuration.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Output:
  
  After corrections, reprocess the output using the relevant transaction (e.g., ME9F for PO).
  Monitor the output log for successful processing.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to display/process output.
