SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Go to 'Output Parameter Determination' App.
2. Choose any rule from dropdown Show Rules for. For e.g.: 'Sales Document'.
3. Select any Determination Step. For e.g.: 'Form Template'. 'Email Template' or 'Channel'.
4. Click 'Check'.

BRF+ is not scope dependent, i.e. all business rules pre-delivered by SAP are always deployed. There is no way to make them country or scope dependent. However other settings (like ’Assign Form Templates’ and 'Assign Email Template') are country specific or assigned to a scope item and do not get deployed if not scoped. This leads to issues when checking consistency in BRF+ (Form template not valid) because depending customizing is missing.

The Form Templates and E-Mail Templates assigned to the Output Types in the App 'Output Parameter Determination' must be also assigned in the corresponding configuration step.

Follow the steps below:

1. Go to App 'Manage Your Solution'.
2. Click on 'Configure Your Solution'.
3. Choose Application Area: 'Application Platform and Infrastructure' and Sub Application Area: 'Output Management'.
4. Assign the Form Templates or Email Templates to the Application Object Type and Output Type according to the error encountered:

• For Form Templates error, configuration step 'Assign Form Templates' (ID 102313) should be used. 
• For Email Templates, configuration step 'Assign Email Templates' (ID 101945) should be used.

The other solution is to delete these rules from the App 'Output Parameter Determination'.

• If the error "Selected channel XXXX is not valid for output type YYY" is issued, then this channel is not supported for the mentioned output type.
  Customers are not allowed to add unsupported channels in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition as each channel requires according implementation and the corresponding business application. The application needs to specifically support a channel.
