• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN111 - One output has been selected ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VN111 - One output has been selected
  
  Cause:
  The message VN111 appears in SAP when you are processing outputs (such as purchase order outputs, invoice outputs, or other document outputs) and the system detects that only one output medium or output type has been selected for processing. This message is informational and indicates that the system found exactly one output to process, so no selection or further action is needed.
  In some cases, this message can appear if you are trying to select multiple outputs but only one is available or selected, or if the system expects multiple outputs but only one is found.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During output processing in MM (Materials Management) or FI (Financial Accounting) modules.
  When you use transaction codes related to output management (e.g., ME9F for purchase order outputs).
  When the system filters outputs based on selection criteria and only one output remains.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  If this message is informational: No action is needed. The system is simply informing you that only one output is selected and will be processed.
  If you expected multiple outputs:  
  
  Check your selection criteria to ensure you are not filtering out other outputs unintentionally.
  Verify that multiple outputs exist for the document or documents you are processing.
  
  
  If you want to process multiple outputs:  
  
  Adjust your selection parameters or output determination settings.
  Check output condition records to ensure multiple outputs are configured and valid.
  
  
  If the message is blocking further processing:  
  
  Review the output determination procedure.
  Check for any custom enhancements or user exits that might be causing unexpected behavior.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Output Determination: SAP uses output determination procedures to decide which outputs (print, email, EDI, etc.) are generated for documents.

  ME9F – Message Output: Purchase Orders  
  VF31 – Output Processing for Billing Documents  
  NACE – Output Types and Condition Records  
  
  
  Message Class: VN (related to Vendor or Purchasing outputs)
  SAP Notes: Sometimes SAP Notes provide fixes or clarifications if this message appears unexpectedly or causes issues.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  VN111 is an informational message indicating that exactly one output has been selected for processing.
  Usually, no corrective action is required unless you expected multiple outputs.
