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.

IMGSDBasic fncsOutputOutput determination

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

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

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.

Hi Friends,

What would be the output type for Picking, Packing, Loading slip & Bill of laden.

Please provide the details.

Thanks

[Former Member]

Hi

You can get the details in transaction NACE. Select the relevant application and check yourself for the cond types. Eg when you select shipping (V2), you will get the del note condition type as LD00, Packing list output type as PL00, regarding bill of lading and picking list iam not sure. I suppose you need to create Z condition types.

Hi,

I am also thinking same way, as we know output types for

Enquiry : AF00

Quotaion: AN00

Order: BA00

Delivery: ;LD00

Billing: RD00

Packing list: PL00

However what about Picking, Loading and Bill of laden.

If we need to get this using z condition type for output, then shall we create z output determination procedure if yes where we would assign this procedure is assigned?

Thanks
