  Error Message
  VN333: No mail text maintained for output type & in language &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to send an email output for a particular output type, but the corresponding mail text (email body template) has not been maintained or defined in the specified language.
  In SAP, output types (such as for purchase orders, invoices, etc.) can be configured to send emails. For this, the system requires a mail text template that defines the content of the email. If this mail text is missing for the output type and language combination, the system cannot generate the email content, resulting in this error.
  
  Where it Happens
  
  Typically during output processing in MM (Materials Management), SD (Sales and Distribution), or FI (Financial Accounting) modules.
  When sending documents via email using output determination.
  When the output type is configured to send emails but the mail text is not maintained.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Maintain Mail Text for the Output Type:
  
  Go to transaction SO10 (SAPscript Standard Text Maintenance).
  Create or maintain the mail text (email body) for the output type.
  The name of the standard text should correspond to the output type or as per your configuration.
  Ensure the text is maintained in the language required (the language indicated in the error message).
  
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Use transaction NACE (Output Types) or SPRO ? Output Control settings.
  Select the relevant application (e.g., EF for Purchase Orders).
  Check the output type settings and verify the mail text assignment.
  Confirm that the output type is configured to send emails and that the mail text is assigned correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Language Settings:
  
  Make sure the mail text exists in the language the system is trying to use.
  If the mail text is missing in that language, either translate the existing mail text or create a new one in the required language.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After maintaining the mail text, test the output again.
  Use transaction VL71 or the relevant output processing transaction to trigger the output and verify that the email is generated without errors.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  The mail text is usually a SAPscript or Smart Form text that contains placeholders for dynamic data.
  If you are using Smart Forms or Adobe Forms for output, ensure that the email body template is properly linked.
  Sometimes, the mail text name is derived from the output type or configured explicitly in the output determination procedure.
  Check OSS notes or SAP support if the problem persists after maintaining the mail text.
