Change output type of Purchase Order

Hi All,
Is it possible to programmaticlly change(or add) the output medium in transaction me21n / me22n when a user creates a PO?
I've been able to config the system to allow the PO to either be emailed or faxed upon the user saving. There is a requirement that when the user clicks the save button through a pop up window they can either choose fax or email, and it must then either fax the PO off, or it must email it depending on what they selected.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

U can do it, provide the desired Output types are configured in NACE.
Just look it in NACE > Output types 'EF' and select NEU click Processing routines,see what all output types defined.
Now Goto> tcode ME23n> choose an order> In essages>Check wether message type has the medium FAX or Email. Set the message Output type for ur desired and save,
Click on Further data and select at the time of saving.
For FAX you have to make some technical customizing in transaction SCOT in order to configure Fax connexion from SAP and then set the file fomrat you want for fax.
Remember that if you want to send Fax directly from SAP, SAP need to be connected to a Fax Card or a Fax Server .

Suppress Output type in Purchase order 'message' tab

Hi,
Can any one suggest how to suppress the existing output type in purchase order ' selecting from list of output's from message tab'.
We need in database and should not delete. can it be possible to hide from list in PO that user cannot select that output.
Thank You,
Bhanu.

Bhanu,
I got your requirement, but could you please let me know on what scenario you need this, because if you need the system to perform like this only when there is some specific fields in the PO, like for eg, P.organisation, or vendor, or Document type etc,,,,anything specific to this,.....then i think if you create a table which will exactly show your target values, like grouping DOC+P.ORG+VN, or any other combination, and then assigning this to one access sequence which will in turn get assigned to the Output type which you want, then i think only that output type will pop up as the other one is not assigned to the access sequence or the combinations you set. Likewise you can suppress one Output type.

Problem in using output type for purchase order

Hi experts,
I am using output type for first time so may be i have done wrong configuration for po output type.The steps i have done are :-
1) Going to tcode NACE->Selected the row u201CEF Purchase Orderu201D and clicked on u201CProcedures".
2) In procedures there are 2 procedures for the application EF (Purchase Order). To proceed further, we would need to find out the procedure that is currently active.Gone to transaction SPRO. In this, navigate as Materials management -> Purchasing ->Messages -> Output control -> Message Determination Schemas ->Define Message Schema for Purchase Order
3) Clicking on u201CAssign Schema to Purchase Orderu201D. So, the procedure RMBEF1 is active for EF (Purchase Order) .
4) Go back to transaction NACE. Select u2018EFu2019 and click on u201COutput typesu201D.
5) Let us use the output type u201CNEU name purchase orderu201D for this purpose. Double-click on NEU.
6) Ensured that the checkboxes u201CAccess to conditionsu201D and u201Cmultiple issuingu201D are checked and the access sequence is 0001(DocType/PurchOrg/Vendor).Only 0001 and 0002 is available in f4 help for this.
7) Now clicked on u201CProcessing Routinesu201D on the left hand side. Ensured that there is an entry for Medium u2018Au2019 (Distribution ALE).
8) After that going back to the main screen of NACE. Select EF (Purchase Order) and clicked on u201CCondition Recordsu201D.
Select NEU and clicked on u201CCondition recordsu201D. The pop-up box appears that gives three radio button option :-
1) Purchasing output determination :purchasing org / vendor for EDI
2) Purchasing output determination :doc. type / purchasing org /vendor
3) Purchasing output determination :document type
but it is not having option only for purchasing organisation through which we can send idoc for changes or creation of PO in that particular pur.org now if i choose 2) i have to give doc type and purchasing org both bcoz they are mandatory fields and value for vendor.
9) Also i have done the necessary ALE configuration (not covered in this document). In the partner profiles, use the message type u201CORDERSu201D and the IDOC type u201CORDERS05u201D.In the tab u201CMessage Controlu201D, used the process codes u201CME10u201D and u201CME11u201D for u201CPO Createu201D and u201CPO Changeu201D respectively.
but the idoc is not generated many times when po is changed and when once it is generated it is giving error
Please suggest solution.
Thanks in advance

Debugging routine for output type in purchase order

HI all,
I am unable to get breakpoint to stop at a custom requirement routine for a custom output type (ZSND) for purchase order.
I created routine 901 and explicitly add 'break userid' . In ME21N, it stops at the routine. In ME22N, it did not stop at the routine.
I like to it stop during ME22N. I tried adding the custom output in ME22N in Messages details, then save. It still did not stop at the custom routine. Can anyone pls shed lights how i can make it stop ? Or could it be that no output is generated during the ME22N changes, thus it would stop at that routine in ME22N ?
thanks
Joyce

Hello Joyce
The first output ZSND creates the ORDERS IDoc (ME21N). For this output type you obviously have assigned the VOFM condition (somewhere in the NACE transaction).
Changing the purchase order (ME22N) should create a different output type (-> ORDCHG IDoc). The first output ZSND must not be repeated (or it is defined to be set automatically only once).
Thus, there are two explanations for your observation:
(1) The output ZSND is not created a second time using ME22N
(2) The new output (-> ORDCHG) has not been assigned to the VOFM condition 901.
(1) you can test quite easily by adding the ZSND output manually in transaction ME22N.
(2) you need to check the output customizing.

Hello,
Try this:
1. Put the break-point.
2. Go to the transaction me22n --> go to mesaage --> click in your output type message click on further data --> put in dispatch time 'Send with aplication own transaction'
3. Go to transaction ME9F put your document and message --> a list with the document will appears --> choose one and process it --> then it will stop in the break-point.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Output Type in Purchase order.

Hi Gurs,
When purchase order creation if the output type is created automatically the print immediately check box is Checked defaultly and when entered the output type manually the print immediately check box is Unchecked. I need the checkbox should be checked by default at any case. Help me gurs..
Regards
Vadi

Hi,
After entering output type manually, just save the PO and now see the PO (ME23N) and see the check box will be selected.
Also check in NACE t.code for your manual output type the dispatch time is set as 4 & also need to set dispatch time as 4 in condition record for your manual output type.

Can output type for purchase order be distuinguished based on plant.

hI ,
I have created an output type and acess sequence with Plant as one entity as i want the output to be determined in PO for one plant only.I maintained condition record for the same . But when i create PO, i am getting that output type for all plants for that particular purchasing organisation . Is the output type determination in PO based on header data only or it can be maintained based on item data also (as plant comes at item level in PO).
Waiting for your kind reply.
Thanks
Rohit Chavan

Hi,
If PO has each line item has different plants ,your access sequence output type/plant wont work.
If PO has same same plant for every line item then only this work.
For restict plant wise you need to chage access sequence add some criteria like PO document type & vendor.
Hope this would help,

Output type for Purchase order Plants

Hi Gurus
I need your help with the following issue. I have created 2 new Plants in our Purchasing module and we are able to create PO and enter invoice for the same. The issue that I have encountered is that when the PO is saved, vendor does not get notified by the automatic email. This email set-up is working for all other existing Plants but for these new Plants, there is some issue. I have checked the communication type and it is there. I don't know if these new Plants needs to be assigned something somehwhere in IMG. I am new to Purchasing module and have created the Plants for the first time. I am not sure where I have missed some step in the configuration. I would be thankful if you can provide me some help in resolving the issue.
Thanks,
Best Regards,

Hello Shalu,,
For this issue i suggest it is better to contact your workflow consultant or your ABAPER
