  SAP Error Message: VN121
  Message Text:
  
  SAPOffice name & converted in NAST-PARNR &
  
  1. Cause
  The error message VN121 typically occurs during the output processing of a message (e.g., print, email, fax) in SAP when the system tries to convert the SAPoffice user name into a partner number (PARNR) in the NAST table (which stores message output control data).
  
  The system attempts to find a corresponding partner number for the SAPoffice user name to route the message correctly.
  If the SAPoffice user name cannot be converted or mapped to a valid partner number in the NAST-PARNR field, this message is triggered.
  This usually happens because the SAPoffice user is not maintained or linked properly in the partner functions or output determination setup.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the VN121 error, follow these steps:
  a) Check SAPoffice User Master Data
  
  Verify that the SAPoffice user (the one mentioned in the message) exists and is active.
  Transaction: SO01 (SAPoffice administration) or SU01 (User maintenance)
  Ensure the user has a valid email address or communication method maintained.
  
  b) Maintain Partner Number (PARNR) for the SAPoffice User
  
  The system needs to map the SAPoffice user to a partner number in the output control.
  Check the partner function configuration and ensure the SAPoffice user is assigned a partner number.
  Transaction: WE20 (Partner profiles) or relevant partner determination customizing.
  
  c) Check Output Determination and NAST Table Entries
  
  Review the output message control settings to ensure the partner number is correctly assigned.
  If necessary, manually update or correct the partner number in the NAST table for the message.
  
  d) Reprocess the Output
  
  After corrections, reprocess the output message.
  Transaction: VL02N (for delivery output), VF02 (billing output), or the relevant transaction depending on the document.
