  Error Message
  VN2041: No access sequence defined for output, although condition access
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM) module when the system tries to determine the output determination procedure for a document (like a Purchase Order, Sales Order, or Invoice), but:
  
  The output type is configured to use condition technique (i.e., it expects an access sequence to find the output records).
  However, no access sequence has been assigned to the output type in the output determination procedure.
  
  In other words, the output type is set up to use condition records (condition technique), but the system cannot find any access sequence linked to it, so it cannot determine the output.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During output determination for Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Delivery Notes, Billing Documents, or other documents where output messages (print, email, EDI, etc.) are generated.
  When the output type is configured incorrectly in the customizing.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction NACE (or SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Output Control ? Output Determination).
  Select the application (e.g., EF for Purchase Orders, V1 for Sales Orders).
  Find the output type that is causing the error.
  Check if the output type is set to use Condition Technique (i.e., it expects an access sequence).
  
  
  
  Assign Access Sequence:
  
  If the output type uses condition technique, ensure that an access sequence is assigned to it.
  If no access sequence is assigned, assign the appropriate access sequence that defines the search strategy for condition records.
  
  
  
  Check Output Determination Procedure:
  
  Verify the output determination procedure assigned to the document type.
  Ensure that the output type is included in the procedure and properly configured.
  
  
  
  Maintain Condition Records:
  
  After assigning the access sequence, maintain condition records for the output type using transaction VV31 (for SD) or the relevant transaction for MM.
  This allows the system to find the correct output message based on the condition records.
  
  
  
  Alternative: Switch Off Condition Technique:
  
  If you do not want to use condition technique for this output type, you can configure the output type to use manual determination or direct assignment instead of condition technique.
  This is done in the output type configuration by unchecking the "Condition Technique" flag.
