Assigning output types

Hi,
I want to know how to define and assign output types.
In VA02- Issue Output To - Print Preview-  i am not able to view the output.
In configs, the output type is assigned to the specific sales order type as well.
Thank you,

You can veiw and achange the output type for all the SD MM documents in Transac: Nace.
Go to the application V1 and there you can assigh the routines and the partners as well as check the procedure.
Next go to VoV8 and take your order document type. find out whether you have given the correct o/p procedure.
Next go to Va02 go to the extras  output header next edit
there you define your output condition type and the partner and set the Communication metd.
you will get the o/p.
reward points if helpful,
regards,
Amlan Sarkar

  • How to assign output type and trigger printing in ABAP

    hi all,
    i have create invoice by using BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE and create header/item text with CREATE_TEXT.
    please advise how to assign the output type and trigger immediate printing after this.
    thanks.

    Hi Reetha ,
    This is a functional setting  , and should be done by some functional guy. The setting can be done by NACE.
    Just follow the path : NACE - > Select V3 for Billing - > Press Output type Button Just above - > Assign Output Type and
    then Assign Output program and form in PROCESSING ROUTINE comes into left. Set this output type for immediate print.
    Whenever You create a billing document by BAPI with this document type , the print out will be fired immediately.
    Hope it will solve your problem.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    It is 101 % possible through condition techniques.
    what is common or require to create sales order - Answer is Sales organization.
    Create condition table V/03
    Select fields Sales organization & document type etc.from field catlog
    genrate this table.
    Now go to access sequence V/07
    Create new or find which access is asigned to your OUT PUT CONDITION TYPE
    Assign this newly created table in that access
    Now assign this access to your out put condition type say std - BA00
    Now go for condition record maintenance VV11
    Put output condition >>> key combination >>> select sales organization & enter >>> maintain all data save.
    Now when ever u create sales order with the sales organization,then system automatically asign this output type to order.

  • Want to assign output type while posting document in MIGO

    Hi All,
    I want to assign output type(WEE1) while posting document in MIGO txn.
    It can be done through configuration but it won't apply in my case as I have some conditions to put as well.
    If anybody could suggest for any User Exits/BADI/Enhancement spots for the same would be of great help.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi
    There are many reasons why an update could be terminated, not
    just
    number ranges.
    Go to transaction SM13.
    Enter the date and user ID if known and find your transaction that was
    terminated. Drill-down until you find which function (line) caused the
    termination and double click. That should help you determine why the update failed.
    update was terminated

  • Assignning Output type to Invoice/Po.

    Ho Folks,
    is there any userexit in the Invoice print/po print for assigning the exact form to an output?
    I have different forms for each country right now.
    I would prefer not to setup an output type (email) for every country unless I have to. 
    The best solution would be a userexit so that I can build a table to assign the correct form.
    is there any user-exit or program so that i can assign?
    Amit.

    Hi Amit,
    These are the User Exits available in the billing please go through this and choose one of them which will sute for you with the help of ABAPer.
    User Exits For Billing
    USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE (Module pool SAPLV60A, program RV60AFZZ)
    The internal number range used in the standard system is specified in the billing type table and can be changed in this user exit. This user exit is only called when the billing documents is created.
    USEREXIT_ACCOUNT_PREP_KOMKCV (Module pool SAPLV60A, program RV60AFZZ)
    In this user exit additional fields for account determination that are not provided in the standard system are copied into communication structure KOMKCV (header fields).
    USEREXIT_ACCOUNT_PREP_KOMPCV (Module pool SAPLV60A)
    In this user exit additional fields for account determination that are not provided in the standard system are copied into communication structure KOMPCV (item fields).
    USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE_INV_DATE (Module pool SAPLV60A, program RV60AFZC)
    Depending on the number range, table TVFKD is used to set the billing date (country-specific requirments in Italy). USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE is automatically deactivated when this user exit is being applied.
    USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP (Module pool SAPLV60A, program RV60AFZC)
    This user exit is only called when the billing document is created. It is used to provide the header and the item of the new billing document with deviating or additional data.
    USEREXIT_PRINT_ITEM (Module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZB)
    Printing the item line of a billing document can be supplemented or changed.
    USEREXIT_PRINT_HEAD (Modulpool SAPLV61A, Programm RV61AFZB)
    Printing the header line of a billing document can be supplemented or changed.
    User exits in program RV60AFZD
    Short descriptions of the user exits are contained in the program:
    USEREXIT_RELI_XVBPAK_AVBPAK
    USEREXIT_NEWROLE_XVBPAK_AVBPAK
    USEREXIT_NEWROLE_XVBPAP_AVBPAK

    Hi,
    As all customizing setting done for PO print out & then maintain condition record for message type in t.code : MN04 with PO document type combination with other details
    Now Just fine tune your output (message) type for Purchase Order  in following path:
    SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Message>Output control>Message tyoes> Define message type for Purchase Order-->Fine-Tuned Control: Purchase Order
    Now here select the check box corresponding to your output(message) type  to have print output for this message type is automatically displayed & save.

  • Assigning Output Type to Delivery

    Dear all
    Is it possible to assign one Output type to Multiple Outbound Delivery documents?
    Thanks in Advance
    Nomi

    Hi!
    if you mean: several delivery types to have the same output type? Then yes.
    You need to maintain
    Logistic Execution-> Basic Shipping Functions->Output Control->Output determination->Maintain Output det for Outbound deliveries->Maintain Output types
    Here you have to specify your output type, print program, and the form name, and some other settings;
    then
    few rows lower you have "Maintain Output determination procedure", you have to copy the procedure V10000 Shipping output, then add your output type to the copied one
    then
    row lower
    "Assign Output Determination Procedure" (Assign deliveries (header)), and find the delivery types you want to assign the output types to, and just change the procedure assignment to them, enter Output type in the next column.
    To have the delivery output prined automatically, you just need to set up the output in VV21 with tim "4" "print immediately when saving"
    I hope this helps
    cheers,

  • Error in assigning output type in VL01N

    Hi,
    When the output type for pick list is assigned to VL01N automatically , it is showing an error log for the same. this is the error seen in VL01N -

    >Processing Log.
    Text  ID  language  not found
    Message no. TD600
    Diagnosis
    You want to read a text which does not exist in the data base (or update memory).
    System Response
    Reading could not be carried out.
    Procedure
    You need to create this text:
    1. Initialization (module INIT_TEXT)
    2. Save (module SAVE_TEXT)
    i have debugged and i couldnt find out where the error lies.
    Is it an error in the driver program or in database updation ?
    This error didnt come when the ouput type is assigned manually. this happens only in VL01N where the output type is assigned automatically and the delivery is not saved .
    Help me solving this issue.
    Awaiting you replies.

    Hi Parthi,
    I commented all the codes related to READ_TEXT and removed the TEXT INCLUDES i had in the SMARTFORMS.
    I dont understand the reason for this error.
    i have modified the standard program for pick list RVADEK01 and used it.
    Infact it was working fine till last week ................

  • Assigning output types in vf02

    when assigning the output type in vf02 tcode ,
    it throws an error as system could not update.
    the  error in print program.
    weather the control goes to print program
    or not when an output type is assigned to the tcode.
    if i run sm13 tcode , its shows error in print program.
    thanks and regards,
    Thiru.

    Hi,
    Ask your technical consultant to check the code of that particular print program (smart form / script/ print program), there may be an error in it hence system is issuing an error and i dont think there is some problem with the out put assignment.
    Hope this will help you for going ahead

  • Query: Output type in procedure assignment screen

    Dear All,
    I have a basic doubt in output determination.
    In assigning output determination procedure to sales document,
    what is the purpose of maintaining output type?
    The output type is not maintained in procedure assignment to item category.
    Thanks.

    HI nsp
    We maintain output type at order ,delivery , billing levels etc  to send printout to the customer in the form of printout ,email , fax etc.So that he can know what are the items have been billed and what discounts he got
    We assign output type to the  sales document  as well as we assign output type to the item category also
    This means When we assign output type to the  sales document , that means we are assigning to the  whole document
    when we assign output type to item category  this implies that we are maintaining output type at item level

  • Output type determination in Billing document

    Hi,
    I have a query reg automatic determination of output type in the billing document. The scenario is, For an invoice, two output types are determined automatically for all invoices. But the third output type is determined based on Shipping point. For Example say, output type IFIB should be determined if Sh.pt is A and IFIT if sh.pt is B. This is controlled thru "Requirement" assigned to the output types in output det procedure.
    The problem is, for a particular document IFIB appears though the sh.pt is B, Now i have to find out whether it is determined automatically or manually. I have checked the following
    1. The "manually changed" field is not flagged in the "further data" of this output type. I believe, if it is not ticked, then the output type is determined automatically and no manual change was carried out. Am I right?
    2. When i checked the "determination analysis", I find that the output type with the message "Output ignored (Requirement not fulfilled)". If the output was determined automatically, then "output xxx found" should appear right? When the analysis says it is ignored, then how come it can appear automatically?
    I am confused over this contradictory findings. Plz tell me whether my assumptions stated above are right. Kindly suggest me alternative ways to find out whether it is determined automatically or manually? If it is determined automatically, on what conditions?
    Thanks in advance
    Suresh

    Hi Suresh,
    In an output determination, it may tell  u that the output type is ignored because of un-fulfilled requirement, but it will still automatically appear in Header-> output, but u need to check the actuall processing status, whether is 0,1, or 2. I assume for your case it will be 0 (not processed, meant for manual processing instead), 1 (processed) and 2 (error occurred).
    Another thing which is essential is that, in order to let the system successfully fulfill your determination criteria, u need to assign output type with correct access sequence, for example 1 access sequence by sales org/billing type for output, another 1 is by sales org/shipping point. Or u can simply create 1 access sequence with 2 condition tables.
    After that u need to create condition record for each output type, u do this in t-code VV31.
    By rite, during transaction (issue output), system will be able to search for those condition record and output type will be automatically appear, providing if there is any rquirement routine in your output det. proc (appl = V3) returns TRUE.
    Cheers,

    Hi
    goto VF02 tcode
    fro Menu
    GOTO  HEADER -> Output
    define there
    Output is a link between the Driver Program and the Sapscript,
    An output type summarizes messages of the same meaning. It contains parameters that are valid for all its assigned messages, for example appropriate partner functions.
    Transmission medium is a medium which the layout will be come out, this may be printout, Fax or Mail

    ex-how to config output type.
    You will assign output types using Transaction NACE.
    Do the follow steps to assign output type
    1)Select Application Type V2 which will have description Shipping.
    2)Click on Output types button.
    3)Go to change mode by pressing Ctrl+F4.
    4)Select one output type which already exists
    5)Do Copy As(F6)
    6)Give your output type against Output Type field.
    7)Under General data Tab, Give Program and Form routine and Save the data.
    i think it a work of functional guy but at senior level i think it is not a big deal for abaper.
    Check the following documentation
    In NACE t-codewe have the application for each one. based on the application output type can be defined, based on output type script and print progrma can be defined.
    If suppose data can be read from EDI then we should go for condition records.
    So whenever we execute the script first composer checks the output type and then execute the program. in program whenever opn form FM will be populate then script will open first. After that again program till another FM will populate if it then script will populate........like it is cycle proces. Composer does all these things and at last it will submit that output to spool.
    Go to the Transaction NACE.
    choose the related sub module.. like billing or shipping
    doubel click on Output Types
    Choose the Output Type for which whcih you wanted your script to trigger
    Then select the Output Type and double click on Processing Routine
    Then go to create new entries--> Select the Medium (1- print output), then enter your Script and Print Program detls --> Save and come out
    Now go to the Transaction (for which you have created the output type)... Issue output--> Select the output type --> Print....
    Device Types for SAP Output Devices (Detail Information)
    Definition
    The device type indicates the type of printer to be addressed. When you define an output device, choose the name of the device type that was defined in the SAP System for your printer model, such as Post2 for a PostScript printer. In the case of frontend printing under Microsoft Windows, you can also use the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN.
    The system uses the information in the device type to convert a document from the internal SAP character representation (spool request in OTF or in text format) to a device-specific, print-ready data stream (output request). Since a device type specifies attributes that apply to all devices of a certain model, it can be shared among device definitions. For example, all devices in the SAP spool system that are compatible with Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIID printers would use the HPLJIIID device type.
    You should not confuse the device type with the printer driver. The device type is the total of all attributes of an output device that the SAP System must know to control the output device correctly, such as control commands for font selection, page size, character set selection, and so on. These attributes also include the printer driver that SAPscript/Smart Forms (the SAP form processor) should use for this printer. The SAPscript printer driver that is to be used for devices of this type for output formatting is therefore only an attribute that the device type specifies.
    How do I choose the correct device type?
    • In most cases, the SAP System already provides the appropriate device type for the printer type for the printer model that you want to use.
    These standard device types are completely defined and need no modification or extension before you use them in device definitions.
    • You can also download missing device types from the sapserv server. For a current list of the supported device types, see SAP Note 8928 in the SAP Service Marketplace.
    • Most printers can be controlled using a generic format, such as PostScript. They can be switched to a mode that is compatible with one of the standard printers for which an SAP device type is available. In this case, a supported model is emulated.
    • Almost all printers are delivered with Microsoft Windows printer drivers. The system can control these printers with the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN. The Microsoft Windows spool system then performs the processing of the print data.
    • If the specified device types are not available, and generic device types cannot be used, you must create your own device type or edit a copy of an existing device type. We recommend that only those with specialist knowledge of the SAP Spool System and printer driver code do this. For more information, see Defining a New Device Type .
    Attributes of a Device Type
    A device type is distinguished by the attributes listed below. If you change an existing device type or create a new device type, you must change at least some of these attributes.
    • Character set: A character set specifies the codes with which characters must be represented in the print-ready output stream (output request). This code replaces the generic SAP characters set that is used internally by the SAP spool system (spool request).
    • Printer driver: You can specify different printer drivers for printing SAPscript documents and ABAP lists.
    • Print controls: Print controls represent printer operations, such as boldface or changing the font size. These print control are replaced by printer-specific commands during the creation of the output request from a spool request.
    • Formats: Formats specify the format supported by the SAP system. The system differentiates between SAPScript formats (DINA4 and LETTER) and ABAP list formats (X_65_132 = 65 rows/132 columns).
    • Page format: A page format is the interface between a format and SAPscript. It specifies the paper dimensions with which SAPScript can calculate the row and column lengths.
    • Actions: Actions are output device-specific commands that are required for the implementation of a format. The action printer initialization, for example, can contain a printer command with which the number of rows on a page is defined. There is a set of actions for every format supported by a device type.

  • Defining output type to a transaction

    Hi friends,
    1) I have a transaction VF02.
    I have created two smartforms for this transaction.
    While issuing output in VF02. i can find only one output type RD00.
    i also want to include ZD00.
    2) is it possible to create our output types for any transaction. if yes , how to do it?
    thank you,
    kat.

    Hi,
    Is the out put types already available, if yes then just use VV31 to create new condition record for billing types and sales org.
    Alse you need to follow the below steps,
    SPRO-Sales & Distribution-> Basic Functions-> Output Control-> Output Determination-> Output Determination Using the Condition Technique-> Maintain Output Determination for Billing Documents-> Maintain Output Types, Maintain Access Sequences, Assign Output Types To Partner Functions, Maintain Output Determination Procedure, Assign Output Determination Procedures.
    Once it is done use VV31 to create condition record.
    Just an example below:
    Check this hope it helps, select the meduim 1 print instead of edi. hope it helps..STEP 1: Output Type Config
    Create Z810 output type with access sequence key Billing Type  Sales Org  Customer. Z810 is based on the SAP standard RD00.
    The following steps are executed in the IMG at the following path:Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Output Contrl -> Output Determination -> Output Determination Using the condition technique -> Maintain Output Determination for Billing Documents
    1.       Create Condition table (Tx: V/63)
    ·         Table 950
    ·         Description Bill.type / Sales org. / Bill to
    ·         Selected fields Billing type, Sales organization, Bill-to party
    2.       Maintain access sequence (V/54)
    ·         Access sequence ZEDI
    ·         Description Bill.type / Sales org. / Bill to
    ·         Access Table 950, Exclusive
    ·         Fields:
    o        FKART, KOMKBV3, FKART
    o        VKORG, KOMKBV3, VKORG
    o        KUNRE, KOMKBV3, KUNRE
    3.       Maintain output type (Tx: V/40)
    ·         Output type: Z810
    ·         Description: Invoice
    o        General data:
    §         Access sequence: ZEDI
    §         Check: Access to conditions
    o        Default Values:
    §         Time: 1
    §         Transmission medium: 6
    §         Partner function: BP
    ·         Processing routines:
    o        Medium: 6
    o        Program: RSNASTED
    o        Form routine: EDI_PROCESSING
    ·         Partner functions:
    o        Medium: 6
    o        Function: BP
    4.       Maintain Output Determination Procedure
    ·         Procedure: V10000
    ·         Control data: Insert step 11: Condition type: Z810 after RD00. No requirement
    5.       Assign output determination procedure (V/25)
    ·         Doc type: ZF1
    ·         Output procedure: V10000. Clear output type => Either RD00 or ZD00 can be used
    STEP 2: Condition Record (VV32)
    The table below shows the values for the condition records.
    ·         Part Fn: Partner function
    ·         Med: Transmission medium
    o        6 = EDI
    ·         Time
    o        Timing = 1 implies that a background job (running program RSNAST00) will process the output.
    o        Timing = 4 implies that the output will be created immediately on document save.

    i think it a work of functional guy but at senior level i think it is not a big deal for abaper.
    Check the following documentation
    In NACE t-codewe have the application for each one. based on the application output type can be defined, based on output type script and print progrma can be defined.
    If suppose data can be read from EDI then we should go for condition records.
    So whenever we execute the script first composer checks the output type and then execute the program. in program whenever opn form FM will be populate then script will open first. After that again program till another FM will populate if it then script will populate........like it is cycle proces. Composer does all these things and at last it will submit that output to spool.
    Go to the Transaction NACE.
    choose the related sub module.. like billing or shipping
    doubel click on Output Types
    Choose the Output Type for which whcih you wanted your script to trigger
    Then select the Output Type and double click on Processing Routine
    Then go to create new entries--> Select the Medium (1- print output), then enter your Script and Print Program detls --> Save and come out
    Now go to the Transaction (for which you have created the output type)... Issue output--> Select the output type --> Print....
    Device Types for SAP Output Devices (Detail Information)
    Definition
    The device type indicates the type of printer to be addressed. When you define an output device, choose the name of the device type that was defined in the SAP System for your printer model, such as Post2 for a PostScript printer. In the case of frontend printing under Microsoft Windows, you can also use the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN.
    The system uses the information in the device type to convert a document from the internal SAP character representation (spool request in OTF or in text format) to a device-specific, print-ready data stream (output request). Since a device type specifies attributes that apply to all devices of a certain model, it can be shared among device definitions. For example, all devices in the SAP spool system that are compatible with Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIID printers would use the HPLJIIID device type.
    You should not confuse the device type with the printer driver. The device type is the total of all attributes of an output device that the SAP System must know to control the output device correctly, such as control commands for font selection, page size, character set selection, and so on. These attributes also include the printer driver that SAPscript/Smart Forms (the SAP form processor) should use for this printer. The SAPscript printer driver that is to be used for devices of this type for output formatting is therefore only an attribute that the device type specifies.
    How do I choose the correct device type?
    u2022 In most cases, the SAP System already provides the appropriate device type for the printer type for the printer model that you want to use.
    These standard device types are completely defined and need no modification or extension before you use them in device definitions.
    u2022 You can also download missing device types from the sapserv server. For a current list of the supported device types, see SAP Note 8928 in the SAP Service Marketplace.
    u2022 Most printers can be controlled using a generic format, such as PostScript. They can be switched to a mode that is compatible with one of the standard printers for which an SAP device type is available. In this case, a supported model is emulated.
    u2022 Almost all printers are delivered with Microsoft Windows printer drivers. The system can control these printers with the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN. The Microsoft Windows spool system then performs the processing of the print data.
    u2022 If the specified device types are not available, and generic device types cannot be used, you must create your own device type or edit a copy of an existing device type. We recommend that only those with specialist knowledge of the SAP Spool System and printer driver code do this. For more information, see Defining a New Device Type .
    Attributes of a Device Type
    A device type is distinguished by the attributes listed below. If you change an existing device type or create a new device type, you must change at least some of these attributes.
    u2022 Character set: A character set specifies the codes with which characters must be represented in the print-ready output stream (output request). This code replaces the generic SAP characters set that is used internally by the SAP spool system (spool request).
    u2022 Printer driver: You can specify different printer drivers for printing SAPscript documents and ABAP lists.
    u2022 Print controls: Print controls represent printer operations, such as boldface or changing the font size. These print control are replaced by printer-specific commands during the creation of the output request from a spool request.
    u2022 Formats: Formats specify the format supported by the SAP system. The system differentiates between SAPScript formats (DINA4 and LETTER) and ABAP list formats (X_65_132 = 65 rows/132 columns).
    u2022 Page format: A page format is the interface between a format and SAPscript. It specifies the paper dimensions with which SAPScript can calculate the row and column lengths.
    u2022 Actions: Actions are output device-specific commands that are required for the implementation of a format. The action printer initialization, for example, can contain a printer command with which the number of rows on a page is defined. There is a set of actions for every format supported by a device type.

  • Output type for mb1c

    Hi,
    i need to trigger the txt file upon saving the mateial document through MB1C transaction in real time.
    is it possible to achieve by assigning output type? Any output types already in the system?

    Hey Nihi,
    Why are you trying to solve the problem using O/p types.
    Try enhancements.
