  Error Message
  VN130: No mailtext exists for message type &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to send an email (usually in the context of purchasing documents like Purchase Orders, Purchase Requisitions, or other workflow-related notifications), but it cannot find the corresponding mail text template for the specified message type.
  In SAP, email notifications are generated based on predefined message types and their associated mail texts. If the mail text for the message type is missing or not maintained, the system cannot compose the email body, resulting in this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When sending purchase order or purchase requisition emails via message control.
  When workflow or output determination tries to send an email but the mail text template is not maintained.
  During output processing in MM (Materials Management) or SD (Sales and Distribution) modules where email output is configured.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Message Type:
  
  Identify the message type for which the mail text is missing. The message type is shown in the error message (represented by &).
  
  
  
  Maintain Mail Text for the Message Type:
  
  Go to transaction SO10 (SAPscript Standard Texts).
  Check if the mail text for the message type exists.
  If not, create a new standard text for the mail text with the appropriate name (usually the message type or a related identifier).
  
  
  
  Assign Mail Text to Message Type:
  
  Use transaction NACE (Output Types) to check the output type configuration.
  Select the application (e.g., EF for Purchase Orders).
  Find the output type related to the message type.
  Check the processing routines and ensure the mail text is assigned correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Output Determination:
  
  Verify that the output determination procedure is correctly configured.
  Ensure that the output type is set to send emails and that the mail text is linked.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow or Email Configuration:
  
  If the email is sent via workflow, check the workflow container and mail text assignment.
  Ensure that the mail text exists and is correctly referenced in the workflow step.
  
  
  
  Test the Output:
  
  After maintaining the mail text, test the output again to confirm the email is generated without errors.
