PO output determination

[Former Member]

Hi All,

The PO output is maintained as 'print' as per the vendor communication method but still the output is going via mail and fails to get sent successfully. Please let me know where the output medium is determined (in BADI or where? ) and what can be the possible reasons for this discrepancy.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Archana

Hi Arshad,

The output method for vendor is print. I don't know then why the response is going via mail.

Also I am not able to see any mails in SOST as the log shows the details as' incorrect processing'.

Define Actions for Document Output

In this activity, you specify the processing type and form that the system should use to output SRM documents.

Use

All of the actions allowed for each individual document type ( business object type) are specified in an action profile. In an action profile, you also specify general conditions for the actions contained within the profile (for example, the processing time and the processing type).

Requirements

You can select a separate form for each of the output media available (fax, printout, and e-mail), providing you have already created these forms (SAP menu: Tools -> Form Printout -> Smart Forms or transaction SMARTFORMS).

Standard settings

If you do not wish to use your own forms, you can use the standard settings.

SRM [application BBP_PD (Procurement Document)] ships predefined action profiles (including action definitions and processing types) for the document categories (ERS) Credit Memo, Auction, Bid Invitation, Purchasing Contract, Invoice, Purchase Order, and Bid.

Set one of the available processing types to default.

Note:

We recommend that you do not change these predefined profiles, but rather that you copy them and change the copies as required.

The same applies to the predefined Smart Forms that come with the system.

Activities

If you want to configure document output on the basis of transportable conditions:

Select the determination technology called Determination Using Conditions That Can Be Transported.

Set up the conditions for output in the next IMG activity (<DS:SIMG.BBP_TRIGGER_PO_COND>Condition-Dependent Document Output).

If you want to use a form of your own, proceed as follows:

1. Select the predefine action profile for the relevant document category (for example, BBP_PD_PO for purchase orders).

2. On the left-hand side of the screen, double-click Action Definition to navigate to the relevant tab page.

We recommend that you do not change any of the settings displayed here.

Note:

If you change the setting for the processing time, bear in mind that SRM does not support the Immediate Processing option.

Instead, select either Processing Using Selection Report or Processing When Saving Document.

3. On the left-hand side of the screen, double-click Processing Types .

The permitted processing types appear in the screen area on the right.

4. Select a processing type (output medium) as a default.

5. Select one of the following processing types that you want to use for a form:

Smart Forms Fax

Smart Forms Mail

Smart Forms Print

Note:

No forms are required for processing with XML, which is implemented by means of a method call.

6. Choose Set Up Processing.

7. Select the form name that you want, and save your input.

Only use the forms that have been defined for SRM, and whose names all begin with BBP_* (for example, the form for printing out a purchase order is BBP_PO_PRN).

Note:

You can use the predefined forms as templates for creating your own forms in the customer namespace. These will then also be available as form names when you Set Up Processing.

Do not make any changes in any of the other fields!

Make sure that the relevant document-specific SRM <DS:GLOS.A976C46CEC6CD411BA570800060D888B>context class has been set up:

SRM Document (Action Profile) Context Class

Purchase Order (BBP_PD_PO) CL_PD_PO_PROCESSING_BBP

Purchasing Contract (BBP_PD_CTR) CL_PD_CTR_PROCESSING_BBP

ERS Credit Memo (BBP_ERS) CL_ERS_PROCESSING_BBP

Bid Invitation (BBP_PD_BID) CL_PD_BID_PROCESSING_BBP

Bid (BBP_PD_QUOT) CL_PD_QUOT_PROCESSING_BBP

Auction (BBP_PD_AUC) CL_PD_AUC_PROCESSING_BBP

(Invoices (BBP_PD_INV) can only be output using XML; consequently, you cannot assign a form to them.)
