Output type is basically used ro connect your form and program.

As one output type is associated with a printer with specific instructions,

so in short if you have to define printimg for different type to invoices like duty paid, stock transfer etc, you have to associate the output type to them.

reward if useful.

Check out these threads on NACE

NACE is used to create output type while creating the output type you will mention forms, and driver program.

that will be maintained in the table TNAPR.if you create the output type using NACE then it will be automatically visible in table NAST and TNAPR.

so check in NAST, TNAPR table

Output types are added basically by BASIS people

contact ur basis

Output types are represent how you want to output information. In SAP Script context it links the print program with SAP script. Output types are part of Output determination procedure which is linked to the application (e.g. Purchsing). Output types are also linked to Access sequence, which allows you to create condition records so that output types can be processed automatically.

By using NACE transaction we will assign Sap script and driver program to O/P type in an aplication for different mediums (like print/fax , mail) .

Example :

NACE--> Application EA --> means for PO > check O/P "NEU" (SAP standard)> Medium "Print" --> You can find the Driver program and Sap script associated to it.

If you have your Own o/p, Script and program. Then you will assign the by using T/code NACE. Then this will appear when you want to print PO or other.

NACE transaction

In this transaction you can attached your Form ad your driver program .

As you know you have got a Form say ZForm

and a driver program say ZDriver.

In NACE you assign an output type say ZOUT in which you attached these two so that you can identify which form is attached to which layout (Very important steps).

**how otput typpe will help you

say in the transaction say IW32 , if you want to hava a preview of ur output , then it will ask for ur output type . then u can select ur output type ZOUT which u had created in NACE transaction and then u will be able to view ur layout preview.

Few tables are also important in thisaspect.

TNAPR

**where can we get the print program for that exising form

Say if ur using any standar transaction then u can go to

System --> status

there you can find the driver of print program

Hi,

Output type is the means by which you can issue a message from atransaction.

A message can be a print output, fax, email or work flow or an Idoc..data will pick up from the tables and it can be send to the appropriate destination.

Example :- O/p type NEU is a print output from ME21N (PO)

U can configure your own print programs and processing routines in the NACE and u can control where to issue a message through it.
