3234702 - Warnings "Form Language can't be initial" & "Form country/region can't be initial" - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

The below two warning messages appear when previewing the output of the sales document:

• Form Language can't be initial
• Form country/region can't be initial

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

The role "ZM" may have (or haven't) been assigned to the output type, e.g., ORDER_CONFIRMATION in the "Output Parameter Determinations" app. However, the partner function "ER - Employee Responsible" (whose corresponding role in output is "ZM") is not maintained in the "Maintain Business Partner" app for the sold-to party (&1) of the sales document. As a result, this partner function cannot be auto-determined in the sales document and no form language or form country/region can be found for the role "ZM" in the output overview page.

Resolution

Follow the below detailed steps:

  1. Open the "Maintain Business Partner" app and search for the sold-to party (&1) of the sales document.
  2. Display it in the BP role "Customer" and switch to the "Change" mode.
  3. Click the "Sales and Distribution" button.
  4. Switch to the "Partner Functions" tab in the "Change Organization: &1, role Customer" page.
  5. Add a new line for the partner function "ER" (Employee Responsible).
  6. Retrigger the output.
