Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_MASS047 - Output request determination incorrect. ?

  The SAP error message WS_MASS047: Output request determination incorrect typically occurs during the processing of output requests in mass processing scenarios, such as mass printing or mass output of documents (e.g., delivery notes, billing documents).
  
  Cause
  
  Incorrect or incomplete output determination procedure: The system cannot find a valid output determination procedure for the document or the output type.
  Missing or incorrect condition records: The output type or output determination procedure is not properly maintained or the condition records are missing or invalid.
  Inconsistent or missing partner functions: The output determination depends on partner functions (e.g., sold-to party, ship-to party), and these may be missing or incorrectly assigned.
  Incorrect configuration in output determination: The output type might not be assigned to the relevant output determination procedure or the procedure is not assigned to the document type.
  Mass processing limitations: Some output types or procedures may not support mass processing, or the mass processing program cannot handle certain output determination scenarios.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Output Determination Procedure Configuration
  
  Go to SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Output Control ? Output Determination ? Maintain Output Determination Procedure.
  Verify that the output determination procedure is correctly assigned to the relevant document type (e.g., delivery, billing).
  Ensure the output type is assigned to the procedure.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records
  
  Use transaction VV31 (Create), VV32 (Change), or VV33 (Display) to check condition records for the output type.
  Make sure condition records exist and are valid for the documents being processed.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Functions
  
  Verify that the necessary partner functions are assigned to the document.
  Check if the output determination depends on partner functions and if these are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration
  
  Verify the output type settings in SPRO under Output Control.
  Check if the output type supports mass processing.
  Check if the output type is active and correctly configured for the medium (print, email, EDI, etc.).
  
  
  
  Review Mass Processing Program Settings
  
  If using a mass output program (e.g., VL71 for delivery output), check the selection parameters and ensure they are correct.
  Check if the program supports the output type and procedure.
  
  
  
  Debugging
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debugging the output determination logic during mass processing can help identify missing or incorrect data.
