  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR555 - Unexpected issue of error message (output &1 &2)
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR555 typically occurs during the output determination process in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM) when the system encounters an unexpected or inconsistent condition related to output messages (such as print forms, emails, or EDI outputs).
  More specifically, this error arises when the system tries to process an output message but encounters an unexpected or undefined output type or output condition record, or when the output determination procedure is not correctly configured or maintained. The placeholders &1 and &2 in the message usually represent the output type and the specific error detail or output number.
  Common causes include:
  
  Output type not properly configured or missing in the output determination procedure.
  Output condition records missing or incomplete.
  Inconsistent or incorrect output determination procedure assigned to the document type or sales document.
  Custom enhancements or user exits in output determination causing unexpected behavior.
  Issues in the communication strategy or partner profiles (especially for EDI or ALE outputs).
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VR555 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction NACE (or SPRO path: Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Output Control).
  Verify that the output type mentioned in the error (&1) is correctly defined.
  Ensure that the output type is assigned to the correct application (e.g., V1 for sales, EF for purchasing).
  
  
  
  Verify Output Determination Procedure:
  
  Check the output determination procedure assigned to the sales document type or purchasing document.
  Ensure that the output type is included in the procedure and that the procedure is assigned correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction VV31 (for sales output condition records) or MN04 (for purchasing output condition records) to verify that condition records exist for the output type and relevant keys (e.g., sales organization, document type).
  Create or update condition records if missing.
  
  
  
  Review Partner Profiles and Communication:
  
  For EDI or ALE outputs, check partner profiles (transaction WE20) and communication settings.
  Ensure that the output medium and transmission method are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Debug or Check Custom Code:
  
  If custom enhancements or user exits are implemented in output determination (e.g., user exit USEREXIT_OUTPUT_PROCESSING), debug to check for errors or unexpected conditions.
  Correct any logic errors or missing handling.
  
  
  
  Reproduce and Analyze Logs:
  
  Try to reproduce the error with the same document.
  Check application logs (transaction SLG1) or output logs for more detailed error information.

  Output Determination Overview:
  
  Output determination is a key process in SD and MM modules to control how documents (sales orders, delivery notes, purchase orders) generate outputs like printouts, emails, or EDI messages.
  Proper configuration of output types, procedures, and condition records is essential.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  VR555 indicates an unexpected problem with output message processing, often due to misconfiguration or missing data in output determination. Verify output type setup, condition records, output procedures, and partner profiles. Debug custom code if applicable. Correcting these areas usually resolves the error.
