• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBFI_MASTER328 - Error. Print parameter 'Print Immediately' not selected ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WEBFI_MASTER328
  
  Text: Print parameter 'Print Immediately' not selected
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to print a form or document in SAP using the Web Forms (SAPscript or Smart Forms) or Adobe Forms interface, and the print parameter "Print Immediately" is not selected or set. The system expects this parameter to be active to proceed with immediate printing, but it is missing or set incorrectly.
  In other words, the print job is configured to print immediately, but the parameter controlling this behavior is either not set or set to a value that prevents immediate printing.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When printing forms via transaction or program that uses the Web Forms interface.
  When the print parameters are passed incorrectly or incompletely.
  When the print control settings in the print program or form driver are not properly set.
  Sometimes occurs in custom developments or when integrating with output management.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Print Parameters:
  
  Ensure that the print parameter "Print Immediately" (often a checkbox or a flag in the print dialog or print program) is selected or set to TRUE.
  This parameter is usually part of the print control structure (e.g., FP_PRINT_PARAMETERS or similar).
  
  
  
  Adjust Print Program or Driver:
  
  If you are using a custom print program or driver, verify that the print parameters are correctly passed to the print function module or form interface.
  For example, in Smart Forms, check the FP_JOB_OPEN or FP_JOB_CLOSE calls and ensure the print parameters include immediate printing.
  
  
  
  Check Output Device Settings:
  
  Sometimes, the output device or spool settings may affect immediate printing. Verify that the output device is correctly configured and supports immediate printing.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Patches:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that address this error for your SAP version.
  Apply any recommended patches or updates if the issue is due to a known bug.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  Try printing the form manually via the SAP GUI print dialog and select "Print Immediately" to confirm the behavior.
  Compare the print parameters in the working and non-working scenarios.
