  SAP Error Message: VN2023
  Message Text:
  
  Default control for output: &  
  
  1. Cause of the Error
  The message VN2023 typically occurs in the context of Vendor Master Data or Purchasing Documents when the system tries to determine the default output control (such as print or email output) for a vendor or purchasing document but cannot find a valid or assigned default output type or control record.
  More specifically:
  
  The system is trying to find the default output determination procedure for a vendor or purchasing document.
  No default output control record is maintained or assigned for the relevant output type.
  This can happen if output determination is not properly configured or if the vendor master or purchasing document lacks the necessary output control settings.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the VN2023 error, follow these steps:
  a) Check Output Determination Configuration
  
  Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Messages ? Output Control ? Message Types.
  Verify that the output types relevant to your purchasing documents or vendor master are properly configured.
  Ensure that the output determination procedure is assigned and active.
  
  b) Maintain Default Output Control Records
  
  For the vendor master, check the output control settings in the vendor master record.
  For purchasing documents, check the output control in the document header or item level.
  Use transaction MN04 (Maintain Output for Vendor) or ME21N/ME22N (for purchasing documents) to maintain or check output types.
  Ensure that a default output type is assigned and active.
  
  c) Check Partner Functions and Output Types
  
  Sometimes, output determination depends on partner functions or other criteria.
  Verify that the partner functions and output types are correctly maintained.
  
  d) Review Access Sequences and Condition Records
  
  Output determination uses access sequences and condition records.
  Use transaction NACE to check output types, access sequences, and condition records.
  Make sure condition records exist for the output type and relevant organizational levels (e.g., purchasing organization, vendor).
