Cause
You have maintained the communication channel as External System in the account master data for Customer Invoice.
-
The scoping question Do you want to enable External system based communication from Output Management? is not active.
-
You have not maintained a Communication Arrangement for output of the customer invoice.
- You created a Communication Arrangement with the Communication Scenario "Output of Customer Invoices".
The communication arrangement for "Output of Customer Invoices" scenario is for the communication channel XML with the Communication type Business-to-Business (B2B). You need to use the Communication Scenario "Output Management XML Integration" which has the Communication type Application Integration if you use the communication channel as External System.

Ensure that the scoping question Do you want to enable External system based communication from Output Management? is active and a Communication Arrangement has been maintained
