• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WER323 - Output type &1 does not exist for application &2 ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WER323: Output type &1 does not exist for application &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to process or access an output type that is not defined or assigned for the specified application. In SAP, output types are used to control the output of documents (like printouts, emails, EDI messages) in various applications (e.g., sales orders, purchase orders, billing documents). If the output type referenced in a process or configuration does not exist or is not maintained for the given application, SAP throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  &1 = Output type (e.g., RD00, NEU, etc.)
  &2 = Application (e.g., V1 for Sales, EF for Purchasing, etc.)
  
  For example, if the system tries to find output type "RD00" for application "V1" (Sales), but "RD00" is not defined or assigned to "V1", the error WER323 will occur.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Output determination procedure is missing or incomplete.
  Output type is incorrectly referenced in a program, user exit, or custom code.
  Output type was deleted or not created in the system.
  Application area or output type assignment is missing in customizing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Output Type Definition:
  
  Go to transaction NACE (or SPRO ? Output Control) for the relevant application.
  Select the application (e.g., V1 for Sales, EF for Purchasing).
  Verify if the output type (&1) exists in the list.
  
  
  
  Create or Assign Output Type:
  
  If the output type does not exist, create it or assign the correct output type to the application.
  Maintain the output type details such as medium (print, email), processing routines, partner functions, etc.
  
  
  
  Check Output Determination Procedure:
  
  Ensure the output determination procedure assigned to the document type includes the output type.
  Adjust the procedure if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or User Exits:
  
  If the error occurs during custom processing, verify that the output type used in the code is valid for the application.
  Correct the output type or application code in the program.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the error appears after a transport, check if the output type was transported correctly.
  Ensure consistency between development and production systems.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction NACE: Used to maintain output types and output determination procedures.
  Applications in NACE:  
  
  V1 = Sales  
  EF = Purchasing  
  V3 = Billing  
  etc.
  
  
  Output Types: Control how and when documents are output (print, email, EDI).
  SAP Note / Documentation: Check SAP OSS notes or help.sap.com for specific application-related output type configurations.
  Debugging: Use debugging to check where the output type is called and verify parameters.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Output type &1 is not defined or assigned for application &2.
  Solution: Define or assign the output type in transaction NACE for the application &2.
  Check: Output determination procedures, custom code, and system consistency.
