• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VT700 - The use of partners is not allowed for output not dependent on partners ?

  The SAP error message VT700, "The use of partners is not allowed for output not dependent on partners," typically occurs in the context of output determination in SAP, particularly when dealing with output types in sales and distribution (SD) or other modules that utilize output processing.
  Cause:
  This error arises when there is an attempt to use partner functions (like sold-to party, ship-to party, etc.) for an output type that is not configured to depend on partners. In other words, the system is trying to process an output that is not set up to require partner information, but partner data is being referenced or required in the output configuration.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code NACE (or SPRO for configuration).
  Navigate to the relevant application area (e.g., Sales and Distribution).
  Check the output type that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the output type is configured correctly. If it is not supposed to use partner information, make sure that the partner determination procedure is not assigned to it.
  
  
  
  Review Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  If the output type should not depend on partners, ensure that the partner determination procedure is not linked to that output type.
  If it should depend on partners, you may need to adjust the output type settings to allow for partner-dependent outputs.
  
  
  
  Check Output Condition Records:
  
  Ensure that the condition records for the output type are correctly maintained. If the output type is not supposed to use partners, ensure that the condition records do not reference partner information.
  
  
  
  Test Output Processing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the output processing again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant for guidance on the specific output type and its configuration.
