  Error Message
  VN2001
  
  Text: Application & is not intended for automatic output determination
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to trigger output determination (e.g., print, email, fax) for a document in an application area that is not configured or allowed for automatic output determination in SAP.
  In SAP, output determination is controlled by application areas (like Purchasing, Sales, Finance, etc.). Each application area has its own output determination procedure. If you attempt to process output for an application area that does not have output determination configured or is not supported for automatic output, the system raises this error.
  Typical scenarios:
  
  You are trying to print or send output for a document type or application area that does not have output determination procedures assigned.
  The output type or application is not maintained in the output determination customizing.
  The system does not recognize the application area for output determination.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Application Area:
  
  Identify the application area of the document for which output is being triggered.
  Common application areas include:
  
  Purchasing (EF)
  Sales and Distribution (V3)
  Finance (FI)
  Materials Management (ME)
  etc.
  
  
  
  
  
  Verify Output Determination Configuration:
  
  Go to the customizing transaction for output determination:
  
  For Purchasing: SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Messages ? Output Control
  For Sales: SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Output Control
  
  
  Check if the application area is maintained and output determination procedures are defined.
  
  
  
  Maintain Output Types and Procedures:
  
  If the application area is missing, you need to configure output determination for it.
  Define output types, assign them to the application, and set up the determination procedure.
  Ensure that the output types are set for automatic processing if required.
  
  
  
  Check the Document Type and Output Type:
  
  Sometimes the document type or output type is not linked properly to the application area.
  Verify that the output type used is valid for the application.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Custom Code:
  
  If custom code or user exits are used to trigger output, verify that the application area passed is correct.
  Correct any hard-coded or incorrect application area values.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After configuration, test the output determination again.
  Use transaction codes like ME9F (Purchasing output), VL71 (Delivery output), or VF31 (Billing output) depending on the application.
