  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN105 - Print parameters stored in user parameters ?

    SAP Error Message:
    VN105 - Print parameters stored in user parameters


    Cause:

    The message VN105 appears when print parameters (such as output device, number of copies, spool options) are stored in the user parameters for a vendor or purchasing document. This means that the system is using print settings saved in the user profile rather than prompting for print parameters during output processing.

    This is typically not an error but an informational or warning message indicating that the print parameters are predefined in the user parameters (transaction SU3 or SU01), which might override or bypass the usual print dialog or settings.


    Explanation:

    • In SAP, users can store default print parameters in their user profile (via transaction SU3 or SU01 under the "Defaults" tab).
    • When these parameters are set, the system uses them automatically for printing documents related to purchasing or vendor outputs.
    • The message VN105 informs you that such parameters exist and are being used.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Parameters:

      • Go to transaction SU3 (Maintain User Profile).
      • Navigate to the Defaults tab.
      • Look for parameters related to printing, such as:
        • SP01 (Spool request)
        • SPOOL (Output device)
        • Or any custom parameters related to output.
      • If you want the system to prompt for print parameters instead of using stored ones, remove or adjust these parameters.
    2. Adjust Print Parameters:

      • If the stored parameters are incorrect or outdated, update them accordingly.
      • If you want to disable the automatic use of stored print parameters, clear the relevant fields.
    3. Check Output Determination:

      • Sometimes, output determination procedures or message control settings might also influence print parameters.
      • Verify the output type configuration in transaction NACE or the relevant output management setup.
    4. Testing:

      • After adjusting or clearing the user parameters, test the print process again.
      • The system should now either prompt for print parameters or use the updated defaults.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SU3: Maintain user parameters.
    • Transaction SU01: User maintenance (for administrators).
    • Output Management: NACE (classic), or BRF+ / Output Management in S/4HANA.
    • Spool Requests: SP01 to monitor print jobs.
    • SAP Note: Sometimes SAP Notes related to printing or output management might provide additional guidance if this message appears unexpectedly.

    Summary:

    • VN105 is an informational message indicating that print parameters are stored in the user profile.
    • To change this behavior, adjust or clear the print-related parameters in the user profile (SU3).
    • Ensure output determination and print device settings are correct.
    • This message does not indicate an error but helps in understanding why certain print parameters are used automatically.

    If you need further help, please provide the context in which the message appears (e.g., during vendor invoice printing, purchase order output, etc.) and the SAP system version.
