Configuration Steps: Message Determination Consignment Material

Dear friends,
I have been stuck for the past two trying to configure the message determination for consignment material. I am totally lost...! I am planning to start from scratch again. Can one of the gurus please provide me with a step by step proceedure for message determination of consignment material and what are the things I need to be aware of for the vendor setting etc.
I know I am asking a lot..but did not have an option.
Thanks,

Hi
You just need to maintain the Message Conditon record for Output type KONS - In Transaction MRM1, with one of the Key Combinations Vendor / Compnay code
All the Configuratioins are standard only.
Run the Transaction MRKO for Consignment Settlement , the message for Output maintained will be determined here.
Thanks & Regards

Automotatic Message Determination:Consignment Settlement

Friends,
I need some help in after doing the consignment settlement process:
After I run MRKO and settle the consignment once a month, I need to send a form to the vendor detailing the settlements done over the period of one month.
My questions specifically are:
1. What are the output methods for this form?
2. I think there would be several, if so, how do I configure email,fax etc.
3. Also, after I settle, I am trying to send the document to the local printer but I am getting the following error message
"No messages for initial processing exist". Can someone please explain what are the places I need to check to make sure everything is configured properly.
Thanks in advance ....
Cheers.

Pankaj-
Thanks for your prompt reply. However this did not solve my problem. Please look at my comments below and respond:
1. What are the output methods for this form?
Ans: - SAP Standard output type is "KONS"
I am using the KONS, but I am unable to see email as an option. I see simple mail, but do not see email.
2. I think there would be several, if so, how do I configure email,fax etc.
Ans: - Use the appropriate transmission medium in MRM1/MRM2 for KONS
In MRM1/MRM2, I have configured my CoCode using the PI partner function with options 1(Transmission medium:Printer) and 4 (print immediately)
3. Also, after I settle, I am trying to send the document to the local printer but I am getting the following error message
"No messages for initial processing exist". Can someone please explain what are the places I need to check to make sure everything is configured properly.
Ans: - Go to MR90 and here in selection screen, specify the "Processing mode" as "2" i.e. Repeat processing or "3" i.e. Error processing and then execute and print it again.
*I tried mr90 and mr91 transactions with 1,2 and 3 options. But it still gives me the same error - No messages for first/repeat/error processing exist *

Hi Friends,
I have tried to configure message determination for GRN. As per the steps in the thread i did. The steps i did are :
GR print out settings
1. Maintain the Printer Name in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Printer Setting
Enter the local printer where you want to print your Goods posting document
2. Ensure that in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Item Print Indicator, 1 stands for Matl Doc print out
3. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Print Version, maintain Print Version 2
4. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Maintain Print Indicator for Goods Receipt/GI/Transfer Posting Documents
Here for Particular mvt type 101,201,121,311 etcu2026 Maintain the Print item as 1--Material document printout
5. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Output Determination->Maintain Output Types, for the Output types WE01, WE02 and WE03, ensure the following--
Select the particular Output type then goto Details
a. Default Values: Dispatch Time is 3 or 4 as per reqmt. and Tr medium is 1
b. Print Parameter is 7
6. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Output Determination->Printer Det->Printer Determination by Plant/Str Loc, Maintain the Output device for all your Plants
7. Go to MN21, for Tr Type WE, Print Version 3, maintain Print Item as 1.
Now the settings are ready for Printing Material doc
8. While doing MIGO, ensure that in General Tab, you get "3 Collective Slip" beside the Print Indicator and you tick mark the field.
9. Now depending on the setting in 5a, the Matl doc is printed. If it is 3, you have to print it using MB90. If it is 4, it is printed immediately.
After doing this configuration, if i go and execute MB90 with output type WE03, it is telling " no messages for initial processing exist ".
I want to see the GRN document before printing. what shall i do, kindly help me please.
Regards,
Prasath

HI Manish,
As u said, i have unchecked the tick mark in migo and i have posted it. Then i went to MB90 and tried with WE01. still it is showing the same message. Kindly resolve plz. Is there any change i have to do in above mentioned steps.

Is any SD/MM Configuration step by step procedure available in the market?

Dear fellow SDN's,
Please give me a guide on
1. Where to start SD learning?
2. How to proceed to become a strong SD consultant.
3. Is any SD/MM configuration procedure pdf / Document available in the market?
I have an ECC 6.0 remote connectivity.
Your valuable advice appreciated and allow to earn good credit.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

HI Stockton,
1. Try to start with the Basic Concepts of SD which are given Below:
SD FLOW/ OVERVIEW:
Sales
Inquiry - A customers request to a company that they provide a quotation or sales information without obligation. An inquiry can relate to materials or services, conditions and if necessary delivery dates. The sales area that accepts the inquiry becomes responsible for further processing.
Quotation - A quotation presents the customer with a legally binding offer for delivering a product or providing a service within certain fixed conditions. This offer is legally binding for the company within a specified time period. A sales area can reply to a customer inquiry with a customer quotation or use it to refer to a business partner contact.
Sales Order - Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time.
The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
Create Delivery:a. Picking - The picking process involves taking goods from a storage location and staging the right quantity in a picking area where the goods will be prepared for shipping.
b. Packing - Packing is part of delivery- and shipment processing. When you process a delivery, you can select delivery items for packing and assign them to handling units (HUs).
c. Goods Issue - As soon as the goods leave the company, the shipping business activity is finished. This is illustrated using goods issue for outbound deliveries.
Billing - Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.

IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Distribution -> Assign Sales Organziation to Company Code
3. Maintaining Distribution Channel
Distribution Channel is the way, in which Products or Services reach Customers.
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Sales and Distribution -> Define, copy, delete, check distribution channel
4. Assigning Distribution Channel to Sales Organization
This assignment ensures, a Sales Organization can supply Materials to Customers through this Distribution Channel.
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Distribution > Assign distribution channel to sales organization
5. Maintaining Division
Division is a way of grouping materials, products, or services.
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics - General -> Define, copy, delete, check division
6. Assigning Division to Sales Organization
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Distribution -> Assign division to sales organization
7. Setting up Sales Area
All the sales are made from a particular sales Area. For creating a Sales Order Sales Area is compulsory.
IMG ->Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Distribution -> Set up sales area
8. Assigning Sales Organization- Distribution Channel- Plant
Plant is created ny MM Consultant.
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Distribution -> Assign sales organization - distribution channel - plant
9. Define Shipping Points
Shipping Point is the Organizational element, which is responsible for shipping the Materials to the Customers.
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics Execution -> Define, copy, delete, check shipping point
10 Assigning Shipping Point to Plant
This assignment ensures that goods from different Plant can be dispatched from different Shipping Points.
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics Execution -> Assign shipping point to plant
Note: Ensure to do the undermentioned configuration also though it is not in Customizing node of Enterprise Structure.
11. Defining Common Distribution Channels for Master Data
Use
The purpose of this activity is to define distribution channels which have common master data..
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Distribution Channels
Transaction Code: VOR1
12. Defining Common Divisions for Master DataUse
The purpose of this activity is to define distribution channels which have common master data..
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Division
Transaction Code: VOR2
Pricing Procedure
In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will through an error message.
In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as under:
Step 1:
Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Table (select the required fields combination, which will store condition record).
Step 2:
Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access sequence.
Step 3:
Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an existing similar condition type & make the neccessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to Condition type.
Step 4:
a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the neccesary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Maintain Pricing Procedure.
b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in SPRO is as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Determine Pricing Procedure.
5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW, etc.
Normal Sales Order Cycle:-
Step 1: Sales Document Type
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >
Sales Document Header:
1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business transactions, such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order type, always copy as with reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard sales order.
2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with discussion with core team.
3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:
A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions: Ensure to maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error.
B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order Types to required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per sales area.
Sales Document Item:
1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category
Schedule Line:
1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving Schedule Line: Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type.
Step 2:
IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Deliveries >
1. Define Delivery Types: If possible use Standard Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Item Categories for Deliveries: If possible use Standard Item Categories for Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
3. Define Number Ranges for Deliveries: Ensure to maintain number range.
Step 3:
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Billing >
1. Define Billing Types: If possible use Standard Billing Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Number Range For Billing Documents: Ensure to maintain number range.
3. Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents: Maintain relevant copy controls such as Sales Order to Billing, Deliver to Billing, etc.
he configuration differs from scenario to scenario & requirement of the client.

2.Hope aware that SAP- SD itself the Big one.try to Explore the various Scenarios in SD and be Stong in Some Areas like Pricing, Intercompany Billing, Third Party Sales, LSWM, EDI Etc.,
3.The link between SD and MM: -
1. When you create sales order in SD, all the details of the items are copied from Material master of MM.
2. MRP and availability check related data is also taken from MM although you control this data in SD also.
3. While you create inbound/outbound delivery with reference to a sales order, the shipping point determination takes place with the help of the loading group, plant data, shipping conditions etc. This also refers to Material Master.
4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must be extended to the sales area of your sales order/customer otherwise you cannot transact with this material.
There are many such links between SD and MM.
SD INTEGRATON WITH MM
1a. Looking at MM and SD interaction first, take the scenario of a third party order process. This process uses a purchase order (which is sent to your vendor). Also invoice verification is used further along the process to check that the invoice you send to your customer is the same material and quantity as that which the vendor sends to you (but obviously shipped
directly to your customer).
1b. Billing is an SD function. But SAP needs to know, when processing a customer's payment, to which GL account the payment has to be processed. For instance payment of a UK based material would be placed in a different GL account to that of a non-UK based material. Furthermore, a UK based customer may have a different GL account to that of an Export customer. This is configured in Account Determination.
2. ABAPers are there to essential do some bespoke development. Your integration, or interaction, with them would be when specifying the tables, fields, input fields, a simple process explanation, data mapping (if doing an interface from one system to another) etc. *-- Shahee
The link between SD and MM :-
1. When you create sales order in SD, all the details of the items are copied from Material master of MM.
2. MRP and availability check related data is also taken from MM although you control this data in SD also.
3. While you create inbound/outbound delivery with reference to a sales order, the shipping point determination takes place with the help of the loading group, plant data, shipping conditions etc. This also refers to Material Master.
4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must be extended to the sales area of your sales order/customer otherwise you cannot transact with this material.
There are many such links between SD and MM
In Pricing we would want to determine the cost of the product
thru VPRS Condition Type. This cost of the material is
picked from the Material Master. How this happens is, if
we would want to determine this cost VPRS in the Sales Order
for Profitability purpose then , all those Item categories
that can appear in a sales order must be activated for
Determine Cost Check box in customizing. Thats one of the SD
MM Integration.

Not this one the earlier one...
Also did you check whether the GR is properly saved or not...and settigns are done properly or not..which you have given above...
This is not smart form error...assign the smart form again...
ADDED:
Also in the above step ie:
4. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Maintain Print Indicator for GI/Transfer Posting Documents
Here you shd provide print indicator for GR doc....

ECC 600 - Cost Estimates for Consigned Material

We are in ECC 600and planning to implement Consigned Inventory in short time. However I am stuck with Inventory revaluation for consigned material.
Consingment Flow: Vendor ship these items against standard PO at zero price. At the consumption pricing is captured from Purchase info records.
Material valuation: We are using valuation variant 001 Planned valuation - mat. with
<b> Primary Strategy Sequence            </b>
Planned Price 1
Valuation Price 1 Based On Co
Price from Purchasing Info Re
Sub-Strategy Sequence with Purchasing : Strategy Sequence
Purchase Order Price via Condition
Gross Purchase Order Price
Effective Price from Purchase Order
However when I try create cost estimate I am getting following error,
" No price could be determined for material/batch <......>/ plant <..> "
Any suggestions.
Thanks
Uday

Thanks for the quick response. I did maintain Purchasing info record using ME12. We do see pricing information at the time Production order backflsh. However contract and PO has no pricing information. Therefore initial GR is created with zero price. However at the time consumption against prod order, consignment material gets price from the Purchase info record. Bur consumption documents are not linked back to PO.When I try to cost these material using CK11N, SAP gives following messages,
Msg.typ Material Plnt Area MsgNo Message Text
I 1000 CK 037 Lot size 1 EA taken from costing view
I 1000 CK 776 No valid source of supply found for material plant 1000

I 1000 CK 361 Value of costing item 00001 in itemization is 0
E 1000 CK 240 Cost component split costed with value of zero
Any clue.

Can you help me on this

Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party s

Hi Gurus,
Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party sales and give me a brief description with examples.
Regards,
YSR

Dear YSR
Check the links
[Cross Company Configuration|http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/500/Documentation/J62_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc]
[Third Party Without Shipping Notification|http://help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/html/J55_ThirdPartyWOSN_EN_US.htm]
Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
Method 1)
After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
The other method is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgement and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always followwing a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procument type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurment ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
Step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to confugure the item category determination
ord type + item cat grp + usge + Hiv level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM + + = TAN . + TAS
OR + BANS + + = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevnat for billing indicator as F
Step 4)
The schedule line cateogry for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requision order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requiesion.

Risk Mgmnt COnfiguration steps

Hello Friends
Can anyone please tell me the complete steps to configure "Risk Management " with LoC (Letter of Credit) & what is the necessary data to be collected from the business, for configuring the same.
Regards
Sumanth.Gururaj

Hi,
The configuration steps for risk management
How To Do Configuration For Credit Management
Credit and risk management takes place in the credit control area. According to your corporate requirements, you can implement credit management that is centralized, decentralized, or somewhere in between.
An organizational unit that represents the area where customer credit is awarded and monitored.   This organizational unit can either be a single or several company codes, if credit control is performed across several company codes. One credit control area contains credit control information for each customer.
For example, if your credit management is centralized, you can define one credit control area for all of your company codes.
If, on the other hand, your credit policy requires decentralized credit management, you can define credit control areas for each company code or each group of company codes.
Credit limits and credit exposure are managed at both credit control area and customer level. You set up credit control areas and other data related to credit management in Customizing for Financial Accounting. The implementation guide is under Enterprise Structure -> Definition or Assignment -> Financial Accounting and then Maintain credit control area. You assign customers to specific credit control areas and specify the appropriate credit limits in the customer master record.
Settings for determining the credit control area of a document. The settings of items 1 - 4 are taken into account according to their priority. The credit control area found is stored in field VBAK-KKBER.
1. Transaction OB38
   Check which credit control area is assigned to the company code.
   Company code:
   Credit control area:
2. Transaction OVFL
   Check which credit control area is assigned to the sales area.
   Sales area:
   Credit control area:
3. Transaction XD02 or VD02
   Check which credit control area is assigned to the payer.
   Payer:
   Credit control area:
4. Transaction SE37
   Is user exit EXIT_SAPV45K_001 being used?
5. Transaction OBZK
   For the settings under items 2 - 4, field "All company codes" must be marked in Transaction
OB45, or the credit control area must be entered under the relevant company code in table T001CM of the credit control areas allowed.
Company code:
Credit control areas allowed:
6. Settings for the credit checks
7. Transaction OVAK
   Which settings do exist for the sales document type used?
   Sales document:
Check credit:
Credit group:
8. Transaction OVAD
   Which settings do exist for the delivery type used?
Delivery type:
Credit group for delivery:
Credit group for goods issue:
9. Transaction OB01
   Credit management/Change risk category
   Definition of the risk category for each credit control area. This risk category can be assigned to a credit account by using Transaction FD32.
10. Transaction OVA8
    Here, the individual credit checks for key fields
    o credit control area
    o risk category
    o credit group are set. Take these key fields from the above settings and go to the detail screen. In particular, check whether fields "Reaction" and "Status/block" are set correctly. To carry out follow-up actions in case of a credit block, the credit check status must be set (field "Status/block").
11. Transaction FD32
    Credit master data for the payer of the relevant document.
    Credit account:
    Credit limit:
    Risk category:
    Currency:
12. Settings for updating the credit values Update of the credit values is required for the limit check (static or dynamic credit limit check).
13. Transaction OVA7
    Update of the credit value is active for the corresponding item type if the check box is marked. This field corresponds to
    field "Active receivable" in Transaction VOV7.
Item type:
Active receivable:
14. Transaction V/08, Pricing
    In the pricing procedure used for pricing, subtotal "A" must be entered in a line for determining the credit value (mark the pricing procedure and doubleclick on "Control").
Usually, the net value plus taxes is used. This way the system is determined to use this subtotal for credit pricing. The credit price is stored in field VBAP-CMPRE and used for update and credit check.
You can find the used pricing procedure of the order under "Item -> Condition -> Analysis".
Pricing procedure:
Line with subtotal = 'A':
15. Transaction OB45
    Which update group (field "Update") do you use in the relevant credit control area? The default setting is "12". If you use another update group, check whether this is fine with you. If you open an OSS message, please tell us the alternative update group.
Credit control area:
Update:
16. Transaction OMO1
    Which kind of update did you choose for structure S066?
     In any case, "Synchronous update (1)" has to be chosen as the kind of update. All other settings will lead to errors.

Message Determination for GRN again

Hello seniors,
I had configured Output Determination for GRN, it was working fine for a GRN. When i try for next GRN, it is not working. Why is it so, do i need configure any more thing ?
Regards,
JanaMM

Hello manish,
I have done configuation of message determination for GRN by this
1. Maintain the Printer Name in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Printer Setting
2. Ensured in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Item Print Indicator, 1 stands for Matl Doc print out
3. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Print Version, maintain Print Version 2
4. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Maintain Print Indicator for GI/Transfer Posting Documents
5. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Output Determination->Maintain Output Types, for the Output types WE01, WE02 and WE03, ensure the foll:
a. Default Values: Dispatch Time is 3 or 4 as per reqmt. and Tr medium is 1
b. Print Parameter is 7
6. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Output Determination->Printer Det->Pr Det by Pl/StoLoc, maintain the Output device for all your Plants
7. In MN21, for Tr Type WE, Print Version 3, maintain Print Item as 1.(Condition records)
8. While doing MIGO, ensured that in General Tab, you get "3 Collective Slip" beside the Print Indicator and you tick mark the field.
Now go to MB90 enter the output type as WE01, Tr m as 1, Sort or. 01, Pro.mode as 01, and executed. System outputted all the material documents that has to be taken print out.
BUt after this i did a grn and tried to take prinout in MB90, it is not showing. It is just telling " No messages exist for intial processing". I tried with 2 in processing mode, but still it is showing tha same. But it was workng fine for first time. Even now if i check for that grn it is showing the print preview. but for new grn it is not showing. what could be the reason.

Message Determination & Output Control

Hi all,
What Message Determination & Output Control?
Why we use them , also what are the configuration steps in same?
Please guide me alon with transaction codes involved in it?
Thanks in Advance.
Komal

Hi Komal,
The message determination Process is the process in which you select how you want your output.
You go to T code "NACE" and can see which Application area is activated for which type. Eg. for PO gernally it is NEU. So you can select from here that which procedure and further which sap script or smart form as well as print driver or program is attached to that and can do amendements if desired.
Also you can maintain what are the out put detrmination method attached to that like print, email, EDI , fax etc.
Cheers!!
