  SAP Error Message: VN113 - No layout could be determined
  Cause:
  The error message VN113 typically occurs in the context of Vendor Master Data or Invoice Verification processes, especially when dealing with output determination or form layout selection for vendor-related documents (e.g., payment advices, invoices, or purchase orders).
  The system tries to determine which form layout (such as a Smart Form, SAPscript, or Adobe form) should be used to print or display a document. If the system cannot find a suitable layout based on the configuration or master data, it throws the error:
  
  No output layout (form) could be found or determined for the given vendor, company code, or document type.
  The output determination procedure is incomplete or missing.
  The vendor master data or output condition records do not specify a layout.
  The assigned form or layout is inactive or missing.
  
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  Printing payment advices or remittance slips.
  Printing vendor invoices or purchase orders.
  Output determination for vendor-related documents fails.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Output Determination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction NACE (Output Types) or the relevant output determination customizing.
  Verify that the output type used for the document (e.g., payment advice) has a valid form assigned.
  Ensure the output determination procedure is correctly assigned to the application (e.g., FI, MM).
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Verify that the vendor master record contains the necessary output-related data.
  Check if the vendor has the correct output medium and form assigned (e.g., in the payment transactions or communication data).
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction MN04 or MN05 (depending on the module) to check if condition records for output determination exist.
  Ensure that condition records specify the correct form/layout for the vendor, company code, or document type.
  
  
  
  Check Form Availability:
  
  Verify that the form (SAPscript, Smart Form, Adobe form) assigned to the output type exists and is active.
  Use transactions like SMARTFORMS or SE71 to check the form.
  If the form is missing or inactive, restore or activate it.
  
  
  
  Check Program and Routine:
  
  Sometimes, the program or routine that determines the layout might be customized or enhanced.
  Check if any user exits or BADIs related to output determination are implemented and functioning correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After corrections, test the output again.
  Use transaction F110 (Automatic Payment) or the relevant transaction to trigger output and verify if the layout is now determined.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: VN (Vendor)
  Message Number: 113
  This error is often linked to payment advice notes or vendor invoice printing.
  The root cause is usually missing or incorrect configuration in output determination or missing form assignments.
  Sometimes, the error can be resolved by reassigning the output type or updating the vendor master data.
