"Output could not be issued" when trying to display the layout of the order

"Output could not be issued" error comes when trying the display layout of the order confirmation.
Thanks

Hi,
This error is faced generlly when output type has not been assigned to the document type.In sales order Follow the path
Goto-Extras-Output-Header-Edit.
Here mention the output type and communication medium and save the document.
Now try to issue the output.
I assume that you have maintain the output determination procedure in SPRO.
For automatic determination of output maintain the output condition record

"Output could not be issued" when using custom page formats

Dear all,
I created a custom page format using SPAD. Its dimension is 7.5cm x 10cm (190mm x 254mm). I also created this page format in windows and set as the default paper size in my printer. However, when trying to print a smartform using this size, the message "Output could not be issued" is given. When I use the standard paper sizes (e.g., LETTER, DINA4), the form prints OK.
Can you point me to the direction to solving this?
Thank you!
Kyle

Issue resoved.
For those who are encountering the same problem, here's what I did. I tested the smartform by itself and it reported the specific error: the page format is not supported in device type SWIN. I added it in another device type SAPWIN. This was just a simple miscommunication between the admins and the developer. I added the format in SWIN and everything works fine.

VF03 smartform: Output could not be issued

Hi All,
Ive created a custom invoice print program and associated smartform.
These two run perfectly together when standing alone.
However Ive created a custom output type to call this program from VF03.
This output type appears in the "Issue Output To "options in VF03.
But it returns the message "Output could not be issued" when trying to print.
In debug mode the Print Program and smartform execute perfectly when calling from VF03 in the same way, but the output fails to appear.
In the Header -Output section inside the status of the output type is "Not Processed".
Any ideas guys??

Hi
It seems that the Output determination is not taking place correctly
the link between the Output type and Program and smartform is not established peoperly
You have to assign this in SPRO for the billing documents
And most of the times it won't work we assign our custom program to the custom output type
it is better to use the std output type and the Std program(you copy the std and can change it but the same copied ZPeogram to be attached) and Copied/modified smartform.
check this.
Output is a link between the Driver Program and the Sapscript,
An output type summarizes messages of the same meaning. It contains parameters that are valid for all its assigned messages, for example appropriate partner functions.
Transmission medium is a medium which the layout will be come out, this may be printout, Fax or Mail
Check this link.

ex-how to config output type.
You will assign output types using Transaction NACE.
Do the follow steps to assign output type
1)Select Application Type V2 which will have description Shipping.
2)Click on Output types button.
3)Go to change mode by pressing Ctrl+F4.
4)Select one output type which already exists
5)Do Copy As(F6)
6)Give your output type against Output Type field.
7)Under General data Tab, Give Program and Form routine and Save the data.
i think it a work of functional guy but at senior level i think it is not a big deal for abaper.
Check the following documentation
In NACE t-codewe have the application for each one. based on the application output type can be defined, based on output type script and print progrma can be defined.
If suppose data can be read from EDI then we should go for condition records.
So whenever we execute the script first composer checks the output type and then execute the program. in program whenever opn form FM will be populate then script will open first. After that again program till another FM will populate if it then script will populate........like it is cycle proces. Composer does all these things and at last it will submit that output to spool.
Go to the Transaction NACE.
choose the related sub module.. like billing or shipping
doubel click on Output Types
Choose the Output Type for which whcih you wanted your script to trigger
Then select the Output Type and double click on Processing Routine
Then go to create new entries--> Select the Medium (1- print output), then enter your Script and Print Program detls --> Save and come out
Now go to the Transaction (for which you have created the output type)... Issue output--> Select the output type --> Print....
Device Types for SAP Output Devices (Detail Information)
Definition
The device type indicates the type of printer to be addressed. When you define an output device, choose the name of the device type that was defined in the SAP System for your printer model, such as Post2 for a PostScript printer. In the case of frontend printing under Microsoft Windows, you can also use the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN.
The system uses the information in the device type to convert a document from the internal SAP character representation (spool request in OTF or in text format) to a device-specific, print-ready data stream (output request). Since a device type specifies attributes that apply to all devices of a certain model, it can be shared among device definitions. For example, all devices in the SAP spool system that are compatible with Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIID printers would use the HPLJIIID device type.
You should not confuse the device type with the printer driver. The device type is the total of all attributes of an output device that the SAP System must know to control the output device correctly, such as control commands for font selection, page size, character set selection, and so on. These attributes also include the printer driver that SAPscript/Smart Forms (the SAP form processor) should use for this printer. The SAPscript printer driver that is to be used for devices of this type for output formatting is therefore only an attribute that the device type specifies.
How do I choose the correct device type?
In most cases, the SAP System already provides the appropriate device type for the printer type for the printer model that you want to use.
These standard device types are completely defined and need no modification or extension before you use them in device definitions.
You can also download missing device types from the sapserv server. For a current list of the supported device types, see SAP Note 8928 in the SAP Service Marketplace.
Most printers can be controlled using a generic format, such as PostScript. They can be switched to a mode that is compatible with one of the standard printers for which an SAP device type is available. In this case, a supported model is emulated.
Almost all printers are delivered with Microsoft Windows printer drivers. The system can control these printers with the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN. The Microsoft Windows spool system then performs the processing of the print data.
If the specified device types are not available, and generic device types cannot be used, you must create your own device type or edit a copy of an existing device type. We recommend that only those with specialist knowledge of the SAP Spool System and printer driver code do this. For more information, see Defining a New Device Type .
Attributes of a Device Type
A device type is distinguished by the attributes listed below. If you change an existing device type or create a new device type, you must change at least some of these attributes.
Character set: A character set specifies the codes with which characters must be represented in the print-ready output stream (output request). This code replaces the generic SAP characters set that is used internally by the SAP spool system (spool request).
Printer driver: You can specify different printer drivers for printing SAPscript documents and ABAP lists.
Print controls: Print controls represent printer operations, such as boldface or changing the font size. These print control are replaced by printer-specific commands during the creation of the output request from a spool request.
Formats: Formats specify the format supported by the SAP system. The system differentiates between SAPScript formats (DINA4 and LETTER) and ABAP list formats (X_65_132 = 65 rows/132 columns).
Page format: A page format is the interface between a format and SAPscript. It specifies the paper dimensions with which SAPScript can calculate the row and column lengths.
Actions: Actions are output device-specific commands that are required for the implementation of a format. The action printer initialization, for example, can contain a printer command with which the number of rows on a page is defined. There is a set of actions for every format supported by a device type.
Output Determiantion :
You can use output control to automate either messages or subsequent processing of partner-specific messages"
This means, it provides a method for you to perform subsequent processing once a document is saved in the system. This subsequent processing is normally to print the document, but can also include activities such as:
- Faxing the document
- Emailing the document
- Sending an idoc of the document
- Sending an EDI message for the document (via an Idoc)
- and so on.
In general, it uses the condition technique to determine what, if any, output is to be produced. The condition technique works by selecting key fields from the document (document type, plant, etc.) and matching them to master data records you have previously set up. If there is a match, then output is produced.
You can use transaction NACE for the output determination settings for all applications.
1. When you start transaction NACE, a list of all represented applications appears.
2. From this initial screen, you can access all the individual processing screens for output determination from the EDIT menu.
3. Select the relevant application. This transaction does not have a menu path in customizing.

VT03N Output could not be issued (VW086)

When trying to print in VT03N or VT02N trx When you choose 'Shipment --> Issue output to --> Screen or Print always appears ""Output could not be issued" Message.
I've already checked NACE (appl V7) . Also, we don't use DGTMD table. In fact other messages is working and no message use that table.
I've tried to put a bp with a message and just gives error in the call function " RV_MESSAGE_PREVIEW"
Any Suggestions?

EC

Thanks a lot every one!
I have "half solved" my problem changing my Output Type, from Shipping Point to Carrier.
This is a brief description when I use Shipping Point Partner:
In "Mantain Output Files" into my "Partner functions" for my Outupt Type I have:
Medium = 01 Print output
Funct = 01 Shipping Point
My problem happens when, in VT02N, when I try to print the next FORM is called: CHECK_PRINT_RELEVANCE (Report RVADTR01).
T
his FORM chek this:
IF ( LEG-TDLNR = NAST-PARNR ).
FLAG = TRUE.
If my partner is Shipping Pont, then LEG-TDLNR = CARRIER NUMBER but NAST-PARNR = Shipping Point, therefore FLAG = FALSE and then I have my Error Mesage.
When I changed my partner from Shipping to Carrier then I got print.
Anyone knows how can I use partener = Shipping point and pull this event?

Output 'incorrectly processed', 'output could not be issued'

Hi,
We trying to trigger a Bill of Lading custom Z print output type. This output was working correctly for some time and now it has started failing. When we try to issue the output through screen option it gives message 'output could not be issued'. But we are not able to figure it out as why this message is appearing even though all output configuration is good. The same output is triggering if we make some changes in the shipment change transaction(although changes are not relevent for the output parameters) but this behaviour is not constant as output triggers some time after the changes and some time may not.
When we try to retrigger the output type using messages option on the shipment, error appears as 'incorrectly processed'.
Please suggest as why this output type is behaving like this. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sharan

if it worked well in the past, then I would check if there was a change in the print program or in the form or in customizing, further I would investigate if this could be triggered from "outside" e.g. implementing OSS notes, activate business functions etc.
If you know the date when it started failing, then checking the transports of changes prior to this event in SE10 could be a good starting point.

Output could not be issued

Output could not be issued - VT03n

Hi,
There is an issue with a few shipping documents when trying to print : Transaction VT03n
When you choose 'Shipment --> Issue output to --> Screen, message number VW086 appears:
"Output could not be issued"
For output type ZDG1.
Can any one suggest what could be the reason for this message as it is not happening for all documents except a few.
Thanks & Regards,
MK
Edited by: MK18774 on Sep 3, 2009 6:06 PM

i mean, like Condition records, sequences etc. But, i guess, they are fine.
Some times the reason could be: If the text is over flowing than window size or word wrapping or window size is bigger than the specified page size, over lapping text contained windows, wrong alignment etc..........so, reduce the content of the text in each window, then try. Also pls. wait for replies from other experts, before re-sizing the windows

Urgent: Error in script output "output could not be issued"

Hi Experts,
I am using transaction VL02N and issuing output then it is giving error "output could not be issued" in development server.when I productionize it in production it is giving the proper output when no of line item is upto two if it exceeds it again give error message "output could not be issued"
Plz give help.
Thanks,
Tanisha

Hi,
s i agree that there are some data available in devpt server as well...
I'm listing u all the possibilities of error ... please make sure that ur doc satisfies these things
1.check whther the entries are there for the corresponding billing doc no...
2.Now suppose if you want to some data to be displayed in one
page and the rest of the data in another page i.e you want to force the data
to move to next page then use this sap script command
/: NEW-PAGE[page_name]
This will force the data to move to the next page.
3.assuming that u r using two pages(FIRST,NEXT) in the layout...
the statement that displays the line item should probably be inside the loop and corrosponding form and end form.. so that if it exceeds the page it'll automatically display it in the next page..
4.Try to expand the main window size so that continous line item
5.Make sure that u have alloted the corresponding output type for the billing document issued...
6.check the form name and the driver program name)in NACE transaction
Hope this helps you

Delivery note smartform - Output could not be issued

Hi All,
output could not be issued for delivery note smartform.
Here is what I get when I try to print:
Output could not be issued
Message no. VL 086
There is only one Partner (ship to party) and it has record in NAST for the output type I use.
Delivery type is ZLCC (no sold to party)
If I try to make print preview - nothing happens at all, even no message...
It works fine in dev system, but not in quality system.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Mindaugas

Hi,
Check If the output type is assigned to the document in quality"
Use transaction NACE
Choose application V2 Shipping and press Output type button.
Check first in your development system, and then in the quality system

Hi Expert,
I have done output configuration properly for Zsalesorder and Zsmartform ,I can able to see print view in order but when I will give print then print is not coming and below error is coming
Output could not be issued Message no. V1104

Hi,
it seems there is no connection between printer and sap server.
Firstly send normal world doc from server to printer.
If normal world document is not printed in this case you should check connection.

Error : Output could not be issued

Dear Expert,
I am not able to take print out of one of my invoice. While looking for print preview i am getting error message as below :
Output could not be issued
Message no. VF 304
Diagnosis
An error occurred while output was being issued. It is possible, for example, that the form to be issued has not been activated or has an error. An error may also have arisen while the data to be issued was being edited.
I did some changes in smartform but all is activated and other invoices are showing proper output except one.
can you please tell me possible causes to trace this error.
Thanks.

Hello,
