Yes, its possible, you need to write requirment and assign against output type in output proceudre.

Logic need to, check NAST table and check Processing status - VSTAT, if = 0, then issue output or esle reject.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks for reply but my NAST-VSTAT field is not updating when i am taking printout its allways '0'. I need to take help ABAPER?

if you have any logic please tell me.

before output is issued it always "0", but once it issued it will become "1", if you select the output again and issue, then system will give "1", there you can write logic in requirment (routine) and assign same to output type in procedure.

You can also use VF31 to take Print Out with Processing Mode as 1 (First Processing). But this all will help only when you would remove the Print Authorization of VF02 & VF03 & the Condition Record should be with 3 (Send with application own transaction).

But you have to take help of Basis Team to check the Authorization Part for Processing Mode as 1 (First Processing) only which I am not sure as if it is possible.

Hello,

This is regularly done in Indian companies to restrict re-printing of excise invoices.

Talk to your ABAPer. He will include a code in the Smartform program which will keep a count of the number of copies printed. This will control that if '1' (or whatever number you want) of copies are printed, do not print again.

Hope this clarifies,

Thanks,

Thanks for reply ABAPER will writ code in Smartforms or Driver program? please tell me logic if you have idea about it?

[jignesh_mehta3]

The ABAP will be written in Smartform.

Logic is everytime the Invoice is Printed, program will update a Variable say "P" = 1.

When the same Invoice is reprinted, the Variable will be update as P +1 = 2.

Now say that you dont want more than 2 copies, the program will restrict futher execution of Smartform & so the Invoice will not be printed.

Also refer the below thread:

If you want the exact ABAP code, speak to yout ABAPer or search the forum, you will find it in ABAP forums..

Hope this clarifies.

Thanks,
