Hi
Here is the SAP explanation
Update Print-Dependent Data
Determines whether the message type is to be used as the default for the print preview and whether, in the case of scheduling agreement releases, the print-dependent data is updated when the message type is outputted.
Use
If the indicator is set, the print output for this message type is automatically displayed. A selection pop-up no longer appears.
The following additionally applies to scheduling agreement releases:
If the indicator is set, the print program updates the print-dependent data in the affected scheduling agreement item, the releases, and the schedule lines when the message type is outputted. This data is automatically updated at or soon after the time of transmission.
Print-dependent data includes the date and time of the release and the old quantities of the schedule lines.
For the print operations '9' and 'A', you must flag one of your messages as relevant to the updating of the print-dependent data.
