• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN125 - Additional shipment data is required for determining output ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VN125 - Additional shipment data is required for determining output
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the output determination process in the Logistics Execution (LE) module, specifically when processing shipment documents (e.g., delivery or shipment outputs). The system tries to determine the output type (such as a delivery note, shipment confirmation, or label) but finds that some mandatory shipment-related data is missing or incomplete. Without this additional shipment data, the output determination cannot proceed.
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or incomplete shipment header or item data required for output determination.
  Output determination procedure configured to require certain shipment fields that are not filled.
  Custom output determination routines or conditions expecting specific shipment data.
  Incomplete partner data or missing shipping point/route information.
  Missing or incorrect shipment type or output type configuration.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Shipment Data Completeness:
  
  Verify that all mandatory shipment fields are filled in the shipment document.
  Ensure shipment header and item data (e.g., shipping point, route, transportation planning point) are maintained.
  Check partner functions and addresses related to the shipment.
  
  
  
  Review Output Determination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Output Control ? Output Determination.
  Check the output determination procedure assigned to the shipment type.
  Verify the condition records for output types and ensure they are correctly maintained.
  Confirm that the output determination procedure does not require additional shipment data that is missing.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Routines or User Exits:
  
  If custom code or user exits are used in output determination, verify that they handle shipment data correctly.
  Debug the output determination process to identify where the system expects additional shipment data.
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Data:
  
  Enter the missing shipment data in the shipment document.
  For example, maintain the shipping point, route, transportation planning point, or partner data as required.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Output:
  
  After correcting the shipment data, re-trigger the output determination and processing.
