  SAP Error Message: WS699 - No relevant data found for output
  
  Cause:
  The error WS699 typically occurs when the SAP system tries to process or print an output (such as a form, message, or document) but cannot find any relevant data to generate that output. This usually happens in the context of output determination for documents like sales orders, delivery notes, billing documents, or purchase orders.
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or incomplete data: The document or transaction does not contain the necessary data fields required for the output form or message.
  Incorrect output determination configuration: The output type is not correctly configured or assigned to the document type or status.
  Output condition records missing or not maintained: No condition records exist that match the criteria for triggering the output.
  Incorrect partner function or missing partner data: The output requires partner data (e.g., customer, vendor) that is missing or incomplete.
  Timing issues: The output is being processed at a time when the data is not yet available or finalized.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WS699 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the document data:
  
  Verify that the document (sales order, delivery, billing, etc.) contains all necessary data fields required for the output.
  Ensure partner data (customer, vendor, etc.) is complete and correct.
  
  
  
  Review output determination configuration:
  
  Go to transaction NACE (or the relevant output determination customizing transaction).
  Check the output type configuration for the document type.
  Verify that the output type is assigned correctly and active.
  
  
  
  Check condition records:
  
  In NACE, check if condition records exist for the output type.
  Ensure that the condition records match the document data (e.g., sales organization, distribution channel, customer).
  
  
  
  Check partner functions:
  
  Ensure that the required partner functions are maintained in the document.
  Missing partner functions can cause the system to fail in finding relevant data.
  
  
  
  Test output manually:
  
  Try to manually trigger the output to see if the error persists.
  Use transaction codes like VL71 (for delivery output), VF31 (billing output), or VA02 (sales order output) to test.
  
  
  
  Check user exits or enhancements:
  
  If custom logic is implemented in output determination, verify that it does not filter out data incorrectly.
  
  
  
  Review timing and status:
  
  Ensure the document is in the correct status for output processing.
  Some outputs are only triggered after certain status changes.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  NACE - Output determination configuration
  VL71 - Output processing for deliveries
  VF31 - Output processing for billing documents
  VA02 - Change sales order (to check output tab)
  SP01 - Output spool request monitoring
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP OSS Notes related to output determination and WS699 error.
  Review SAP Help Portal documentation on output determination.
  
  
  
  Common Output Types:
  
  Sales Order Confirmation (e.g., output type BA00)
  Delivery Note (e.g., output type LD00)
  Billing Document (e.g., output type RD00)
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  WS699 - No relevant data found for output means the system cannot find the necessary data to generate the output. The solution involves verifying document data completeness, output determination configuration, condition records, partner functions, and ensuring the document status is appropriate for output processing.
