We have got different ideas/designs for this requirement. That is a good thing!

SK,

An invoice can have several plants, in the case there are plants in the same billing document; and for one plant printout should not be created and for the other plant printout should be created. Please look into this case and ask client what needs to be done.

SK,

In my previous post, I explain that there will be an issue when in the same bill, there are both plants for which invoice should be printed and printout should be restricted. Ask client if this scenario could exist?

Also, why for some plants printout of invoice should be restricted? what is the business reason for this?

Hi TW,

  Clients have their own requirement, which they do not want to share. I will ask my ABAPer to make changes so that , no output is generated for some plants (VBRP-WERKS).

Thanks,

Dear SK,

I think suggestion given by TW is a better option, instead of going with creation of new table and new records, it will going to increase the master data activity.

You need to hard code the plant in the Smartform coding for which you don’t want the invoice to be printed. Use Invoice Item table to fetch the plant.

HI,

Create a Custom table and maintain all required plant in that and ask baper to copy the standard  driver program into custom and give a validation in that program against maintained plant in custom table it will resolve your problem and further it can be extend by adding plant in custom table .

Hi

Go to NACE, select application V3, Create access sequence with table containing Plant and billing type and assign it to output type.( Be sure there will be one plant in the billing document).Create condition record ( VV31 ) . This will be achieved for sure.

Hi,

In NACE, only invoice type is already assigned. Now this is a new requirement, wherein I have to restrict output type for certain plants. As of now , in VV31 , output type is assigned to only invoice types. Now , how can I introduce plants in access sequence to stop prints.

SK,

For how many plants do you need printing?

Are the plants the same across invoice types? or for each invoice type, the plants should be different?

Requirement Routines - Output Control - ABAP Development - SCN Wiki

Ask your ABAPer he/she will know. It is his/her job to create the routine with the functional specs you give. and it is your job to assign it in the output procedure and do the testing.
