Output Err

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

1.I've configured the output as follows:

Output Determination Using the Condition Technique-> Maintain Output Determination for Sales Documents-> C.Tab-> Acc Seq-> Output Typ-> Output typ to Partner Funciton -> Output Procedure-> Procedure to Sales Doc Type. Then I'm trying to view Print Preview in VA03. But err: No output has been selected for printing.

2. My second Q is that In Output Determination why is it necessary to Assign Output Types to Partner Function?

Plz help to solve these 2 issues.

Rgds.

Hello,

See as far as i understand, for this error "But err: No output has been selected for printing", there can be three possiblity.

1. Check for output determination procedure --> Condition table, Access sequence, Condition Type, Assignment to Partner function as well to document type.

2. You can manually enter the condition type in the change mode of the document. After that check in Print preview.

3. Check for the Form Text and Assignment of Form Texts wrt Sales Organisation, Sales Office, Shipping Point

In this menu option, you assign texts for the address, letterhead, footer and salutation.

Regarding your second question, Partner type is maintained because the data can be sent to the partner function through whatever medium decided be it through a Mail or Print out. It is just a process of sending the information to the concerned partner.

Hi Siddhant,

1) Make sure the output condition type has been selected for the sales order document. This can be done in 2 ways, (a) Create condition records in VV11 and making in trigger automatically in the order (b) In VA02 maintain the condition type at the Header level.

2) The output triggered should be sent to a particular parnter function eg) The sales order acknowledgement should go to the Sold to Party whereas the Invoice output should go to the payer. So assigning a output type tells you to which partner function should the output be sent and in what medium.

Hello Friend,

Output determination procedure is nothing but sending the information to your customer.

1. For the first question , goto the NACE transaction and first click on the Condition access sequence, and maintain the access sequence , next goto condition type and maintain the condition type and assign the forms and programs which are used if there is any layout, next goto procedure and maintain the condition type in the procedure and then maintain the condition records for the combination of tables you did in the access sequence.

Path :

IMG-> SALES & DISTRIBTION->BASIC FUNCTIONS->OUTPUT CONTROL->OUTPUT DETERMINATION PROCEDURE->OUTPUT DETERMINATION USING CONDITION TECHNIQUE->OUTPUT DETERMINATION FOR SALES DOCUMENTS....

There you can find all the condition table and condition types which were in common with NACE .

2. And for your second question,

You have to maintain condition records to let the system determine the Partner to which this output should send or determine.

Hope it is clear , if you hve any further clarifications please revert

Hi ,

u can maintain output type manually or automatically,if you are creating it automatically,try to give in the communication method default printer as 'LP01' ,or try to maitain it manually.

when we give default patner type is, when you maintain the meduim as Print output or mail default mail

or Print will be send to the Patner type maintained.Code will be written by ABAP to send mail or

to send print .Please let me know if you have any issues.

Thanks and regards,
