  SAP Error Message: VN2045
  Message Text:
  
  Medium: &      Time: &            Language: &
  
  1. Cause
  The error message VN2045 typically occurs in the context of Vendor Master Data or Purchasing Documents when the system cannot find or process the specified communication medium, time, or language parameters.
  More specifically, this message is related to the output determination or communication medium settings for vendor correspondence or document transmission. The placeholders (&) indicate that the system expected values for:
  
  Medium (e.g., print, fax, email)
  Time (time of transmission or processing)
  Language (language key for the output)
  
  If these parameters are missing, incorrect, or not maintained properly in the system, the message VN2045 is triggered.
  
  2. When does it occur?
  
  During output processing for vendor-related documents (e.g., purchase orders, confirmations).
  When the system tries to determine the communication medium for sending documents to vendors.
  If the vendor master or output determination procedure lacks the necessary medium/time/language data.
  When the output medium is not configured or the required data is incomplete.
  
  
  3. Solution
  To resolve the VN2045 error, follow these steps:
  a) Check Vendor Master Data
  
  Go to transaction XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 (Display Vendor Purchasing Data).
  Verify that the communication medium (e.g., print, fax, email) is maintained correctly in the vendor master.
  Check the language key assigned to the vendor.
  
  b) Check Output Determination Procedure
  
  Use transaction NACE to review the output types and their determination procedures for purchasing documents.
  Ensure that the output medium is correctly configured for the relevant output type.
  Verify that the output time and language are maintained or defaulted properly.
  
  c) Maintain Communication Medium in Output Control
  
  In the output control settings (e.g., in ME21N or ME22N for purchase orders), check the output medium.
  If the medium is missing or incorrect, maintain the correct medium (e.g., 1 = Print, 5 = EDI, 6 = Fax, 7 = Email).
  
  d) Check Partner Functions and Communication Data
  
  Ensure that the vendor's partner functions have the correct communication data maintained.
  For example, if the medium is fax, the fax number must be maintained.
  
  e) Review Time Settings
  
  Check if the output time is set correctly or if the system expects a specific time for output processing.
  Sometimes, scheduling or batch job timing can affect this.
  
  
  4. Additional Information
  
  Message Class: VN (Vendor)
  Message Number: 2045
  This message is informational or warning depending on the context but can block output processing if critical data is missing.
  The placeholders (&) in the message indicate that the system expects values but they are missing or not determined.
  
  
  5. Example
  If you try to print a purchase order and the system cannot determine the output medium because the vendor master does not have a fax number or email address, and the output medium is set to fax or email, the system will throw VN2045.
