Hi Sachin

Output determination

What is output?

Output is communication. When we create a transaction in sales & distribution, and save the transaction we may have to communicate to the concerned business partner about the transaction.

Example;

Customer--Purchase Order-VA01 (Create sales Order)- save the sales order- send the order confirmation to the customer

Here the output is “ Order confirmation”

This output is sent to business partner-Customer-Sold to Party

Other Examples: Quotation, Invoice, Delivery note, Packing List

Output determination happens through Condition Technique.

Condition records are very important here. And these records contain answers to following questions.

a) What is the Output Type? Order confirmation or Invoice etc

b) Who is the recipient? A Sold-to-party or Payer etc.

c) What is the media? Take print out and send, or as email? Or Fax? Or EDI (Electronic data Interchange)

d) When output to be processed? Immediately when the transaction saved or scheduled to happen at particular Time etc

e) In which language the output to be prepared
