• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN2030 - Send time & allowed: Time determination program missing ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VN2030 - Send time & allowed: Time determination program missing
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of vendor master data or related transactions when the system tries to determine the "send time" for output messages (such as purchase orders, confirmations, etc.) but cannot find the required time determination program.
  In SAP, output determination for messages (like purchase orders) involves determining when the message should be sent. This is controlled by a time determination program assigned in the output type configuration. If this program is missing or not assigned, the system cannot calculate the send time, resulting in the VN2030 error.
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  Typically during output processing in MM (Materials Management) or FI (Financial Accounting) when sending documents to vendors.
  When configuring or processing output types in transaction NACE or the newer output management framework.
  When the output type's time determination program is not maintained or incorrectly assigned.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction NACE (or the relevant output management transaction).
  Select the application (e.g., EF for Purchase Orders).
  Choose the output type that triggers the error.
  Check the Time Determination Program field.
  
  
  
  Assign or Correct the Time Determination Program:
  
  If the field is empty or incorrect, assign the correct time determination program.
  For standard SAP output types, the time determination program is usually provided by SAP.
  Example standard time determination programs:
  
  RV60B000 for purchase order outputs.
  RV60B001 or others depending on the output type.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Custom Output Types:
  
  If you are using custom output types, ensure that the time determination program is either assigned or a custom program is developed and assigned.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the configuration was transported from another system, verify that the time determination program exists in the target system.
  Sometimes missing programs or incorrect transports cause this error.
  
  
  
  Check OSS Notes:
  
  Search SAP OSS Notes for any known issues related to the output type and time determination program.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After correction, test the output processing again to confirm the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The time determination program is part of the output determination procedure and controls when the message is sent (immediately, scheduled, etc.).
  This error is specific to output processing and does not affect other vendor master data functions.
  In newer SAP systems (S/4HANA), output management might be handled differently (BRF+ based), so check if the system uses the classic NACE or the new output management framework.
  If using the new output management, ensure the output timing rules are properly configured.
