  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_CAT139 - Output type &1 is not properly configured in transaction NACE ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WRMA_CAT139 Output type &1 is not properly configured in transaction NACE


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to process or trigger an output (such as a print, email, or IDoc) for a particular output type, but the output type is not correctly configured or maintained in the output determination procedure in transaction NACE.

    In other words, the output type (represented by &1 in the message) is missing or incomplete in the configuration for the relevant application area (e.g., sales orders, deliveries, billing documents, etc.).


    Explanation:

    • Output types define how and when documents are output (printed, emailed, faxed, etc.).
    • Each output type must be configured with:
      • Output medium (print, email, EDI, etc.)
      • Access sequence (rules to find the output condition records)
      • Condition tables and procedures
      • Partner functions (who receives the output)
    • If the output type is not maintained or incorrectly maintained in NACE, the system cannot determine how to process the output, leading to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Identify the Application Area:

      • Determine which application area the output type belongs to (e.g., V1 for sales, V2 for deliveries, V3 for billing, etc.).
      • This is important because NACE is transaction for output configuration, and you need to select the correct application.
    2. Check Output Type Configuration in NACE:

      • Go to transaction NACE.
      • Select the relevant application area (e.g., V1 for sales orders).
      • Click on Output Types.
      • Search for the output type mentioned in the error message (&1).
      • Verify if the output type exists.
      • If it exists, check if all necessary parameters are maintained:
        • Access sequence
        • Partner function
        • Output medium
        • Program and form routine (if applicable)
      • If it does not exist, create the output type with the required settings.
    3. Check Condition Records:

      • Ensure that condition records exist for the output type in transaction VV31 (or relevant condition maintenance transaction).
      • Without condition records, output determination may fail.
    4. Check Output Determination Procedure:

      • Verify that the output type is assigned to the output determination procedure used in the document type or sales document type.
    5. Test Output:

      • After configuration, test the output processing again to confirm the error is resolved.

    Additional Information:

    • NACE is the central transaction for configuring output determination in SAP.
    • Output types are specific to application areas:
      • V1 - Sales
      • V2 - Delivery
      • V3 - Billing
      • EF - Purchase Orders
      • etc.
    • Sometimes, custom output types are created and need to be properly integrated into the output determination procedure.
    • If the output type is custom, ensure that the associated print program and form are developed and assigned correctly.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Output type &1 is missing or incorrectly configured in NACE for the relevant application.
    Solution Maintain or correct the output type configuration in transaction NACE for the relevant application area.
    Transaction to Use NACE (Output determination configuration)
    Check Output type existence, access sequence, partner function, output medium, condition records.

    If you provide the exact output type and application area, I can help you with more specific steps or configuration details.
