dear ravi kumar,

Out put determination procedure

In SAP we can send the documents to respective partner functions through different transmission mediums. SAP uses condition technique to determine output t relevant partners with relevant transmission mediums.

Out put determination procedure has a integration with technical module, as ABAPer’s has to write SMART forms and FORMS to print the output , that SMART form output can be send to relevant partner function through relevant transmission mediums.

Out put determination procedure for order confirmation: (V/57)

a) Maintain condition table:

Path:

IMG

SD

Basic functions

Output control

Output determination

Output determination using the condition technique

Maintain out put determination from for sales document

Maintain condition tables

Maintain out put condition table for sales document

Here we define condition table

Ex: 007 – order type (sales order types)

Save it

b) Maintain output types:

IMG

SD

Basic functions

Output control

Output determination

Output determination using the condition technique

Maintain out put determination from for sales document

Maintain out put types

Here we define out put types

Ex: AF00 -- Inquiry

AN00 – quotation

BA00 – Order confirmation

BA01 – EDI odd response

KRML—Credit processing

LP00 -- Scheduling agreement

MAIL – Internal message

RD03—cash sales invoice

Choose BA00 copy it and rename as a ‘MA00’

click on details icon

click on display to change icon

then again choose ‘MA00’ click on details icon

Maintain data in general data tab

General data tab:

Access sequence: 0010(order type)

In IMG define access sequence and assign to the output type

Check access to conditions:

This indicator allows the system to read the condition records for output. If it is not been activated then system determines out put from customer master ex: By following out put determination procedure “DB0001”

Check cannot be changed:

This control specifies whether the out put can be changed or not

Ex: direct mailings can be changed during processing

Check multiple issuing:

This indicator allows the system to send the output multiply

Ex: sales order has been sent for 10 items again one item has been added to sales order so that business has to issue the new out put for sold to party with added line items. This indicator allows the system to send out put repeatedly.

Check partner independent out put:

During output processing when the indicator has not set then system allows only specific functions in specific partner functions

Don’t write processing:

This indicator determines whether system has to write processing log for output

Default values tab:

Dispatch time:

Ex: send immediately: when carry the application this indicator determines when the output should be sent.

Transmission medium:

Ex: print out

Fax

Telex

Internal send

EDI

Simple mail

Special function

Events (SAP business workflow)

Distribution (ALE)

Tasks (SAP business work flow)

Specify the transmission medium through which the output should be sent. (Ex: print output)

Communication strategy

Specify the communication strategy if you want to send the output externally

A) Time tab:

Check timing: (Periodic job not allowed)

This indicator allows the system to carry out print program periodically.

B) PRINT NEXT TAB):

Print parameter: Ex sales org.

Specify the print parameter.

Click on mail title & Text control button under dialog structure.

Here we assign title for the mail along with relevant text Ex:-EN (English)

Processing routines control button under dialog structure.

Here we assign programs form routines & form that are written by ABAPER, they they various transmission mediums.

Ex; - Transmission medium shortest program form routine

1 print out RVADOR entry

Click on position function control button here we assign relevant partner function to relevant transmission mediums

EX: print out: SP (Sold to party)

C) Maintain access sequences:

Here we define Access sequence.

EX: 0010 & Assign the condition tables to this output.

D) Assign out put types to partner function:

Here we assign output types along with transmission mediums to relevant partner functions.

EX: Out put type Transmission medium

MA00 1

“ 2

“ 6

“ A

MAIL 7

E) Maintain output determination procedure:

Here we define output determination procedure

Ex: V10000 - Order output

V05000 - Inquiry output

V06000 - quotation output

V10001 - Cash sales output

Choose output determination procedure EX; V10000, copy it& rename it as MA0000

Assign output type MA00 by going control date section.

Save it.

F) Assign output determination procedures;

Allocate sales document Header.

_ Choose sales document type OR & Assign output determination procedure i.e MA0000 & Assign output type MA00.

Assign sales document items.

-Choose item category TAN & Assign output determination procedure Ex: Ma0000

- save it & exit.

Maintain output records (vv11)

Path:

Logistic > S&D > Master data > output > sales document > VV11 – Create

Specify output MA00, Click on Key combination & specify sales document type (OR), partner function (sp) transmission medium (1) dispatch type (4) language (EN)

Click on communication button on application tool bar

Specify output device – LOCL or LP01

Check print immediately check release after output

Save it

Go to Va01 raise the sales order

Go to extra button output header edit.

Specify output type: MA00 partner function

Select line, click on communication methods

Specify logical destination

Check print immediately

Check release after output

go back save it & exit

Go to VA02, Go to Extras output header print preview

Check out (order confirmation

(ERROR: out put MA00 for partner cannot be processed)

Hi Ravi,

OUTPUT DETERMINATION:

Output determination in sales and distribution allows you to control proposal using assignments and groupings in such a way that the system selects the output allowed in each sales transaction and carries out output processing according to predefined criteria.

In the SAP System there are two possible ways of controlling output determination for each output:

proposal of output from the customer master record

proposal of output using the condition technique

SAP recommends the output proposal using the condition technique. This is because it is much more flexible than taking the proposal via the customer master. For example, the condition technique makes it possible to determine the most suitable output from several different types of output.

Note

Output control occurs separately in the header and item levels.

The proposal of output for sales support outputs can only be carried out using the condition technique.

Hope you are aware of that the output determination is done for

1. Sales Activities

2.Sales Documents

3.Delviery

4.Shiping and Transportation

5.Billing

FOR Customization please follow below steps:

MENU ;- IMG --> Sale and Distribution --> Basic Functions --> Output Control -->

Output Determination --> Output Determination using Condition Technique :

Maintain Output Determination for Sales Documents :

1.Maintain Condition Tables

2.Maintain Output Types

3.Maintain Access Sequence

4.Maintain Output Determination Procedure

5.Assign the Output Determination Procedure.

Finally Create condition Record using the T.Code: VV11

Then Create the Sales Order and Save it and go to the same sales order in Change mode.

Here in Sales Order main Screen --> Click on Extras --> Output --> Header --> Click on Print Preview.

T.Code: NACE

Output Determination

Output is a form of media from a business to one of its business partners. The possible media forms are printouts, faxes, telexes, e-mails, and EDI. The output can be sent to any of the partners defined in the document. Outputs are usually in the form of order confirmations, delivery notes, invoices, and shipping notifications.

Output determinationOutputBasic fncsSDIMG

An output type is simply a type of output and it contains all the control features for the output. For ex, it defines the kind of output, which business transaction it applies to, which business partner receives the output, how the output is sent (the media), and the print program and SAP Script layout to use in formatting the output.

Output determination can be maintained as originating from the customer master record or as originating by using the condition technique.

Output proposal from the customer master record

Output proposal from the customer master record, Define outputOutput determinationOutputBasic fncsSDIMG

In this option one creates output types, such as BA00 (order confirmation). After creating the output type, one assigns the output type to an output procedure, such as DB0001. After the assignment of the output types to the procedure, the output procedure is then assigned to the customer account group. This is a simple procedure and results in the output that is placed on the customer master record being copied into the sales document.

The Output Determination component offers output functions for sales, shipping, transportation, and billing to help you manage sales transactions with your customers and within your company. You can create sales activity output (for example, customer telephone calls, mailing campaigns) and group output (for example, freight lists). Your company employees can send and receive output. Output is directly linked to the corresponding sales transaction (for example, the system automatically sends an order confirmation via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as soon as the employee creates an order).

Integration

The output determination component is used for output control. Output control is used to exchange information with internal and external partners.

Output types are used to represent various forms of output in the SAP system. Examples of output types in Sales and Distribution processing are order confirmations, freight lists, and invoices. You use the output type to control how the output should be transmitted, for example whether an order confirmation should be sent via EDI, or be printed.

In Customizing, you can display the output types available in the SAP R/3 system. To display sales output types, for example, go to Customizing and choose Sales and Distribution ® Basic Functions ® Output Control ® Output Determination ® Output Determination Using the Condition Technique ® Maintain Output Determination for Sales Documents ® Maintain Output Types.

Before you can create a condition record, you must define the corresponding output type in Customizing. To maintain the output type for a sales document, for example, choose Basic Functions ® Output Control ® Output Determination ® Output Determination Using the Condition Technique ® Maintain Output Determination for Sales Documents ® Maintain Output Types in Customizing for Sales and Distribution.

Procedure

To access the individual functions, choose Logistics ® Sales and distribution ® Master data.

The table below contains an example that shows you how to process sales and distribution output for a sales document. You use the same procedure for other types of sales and distribution output.
