Configuring Output Determination to use a SMARTFORM

I am in the process of trying to configure the output determination for a billing document to use a SMARTFORM. Has anyone ever done this, and what fields in the proceesing routines of the output types do I need to populate.

Hi Mazurek,
Welcome to SDN.
You can use the following in processing routine for application V3 (Billing) in transaction code V/40.
- Medium = 1 (Print Output) or 2 (Fax)
- Program = RLB_INVOICE
- Form Routine = ENTRY
- SmartForm = LB_BIL_INVOICE
Hope this will help.

Vendor partner function is overriding my output determination for PO email

I'm trying to get a PO emailed to the user who created the PO based on purchasing group. I configured output determination so that a message is correctly getting generated -- in MN05 I've got the purchasing group tied to the VU (user responsible) partner function which specifies the SAP User.
My issue is that the PO is using the vendor (VN) partner function to pull in the vendor address which needs to appear on the PO form. So the system is always looking to the vendor's email for the output instead of my output determination message. Is there any way to disable this yet still use the vendor address for the PO form?
Note that everything is configured properly and I am receiving PO email based on the email in the vendor master. I'm trying to do the same using output determination instead.
Thanks, Vlad

Hi,
1.) got to transaction NACT, Select the Output type; say NEU, and then Select the Partner Function. You can change it as per your requirement for Ordering address, Vendor, Delivering plant.
2.) Yes you can use Vendor's address in the PO Form. For that you would need assistance from ABAP.

Output determination failed for a single customer(order confirm thru mail)

Hi,
i n sales order while we save a confirmation mail goes to cutomer.but in case of one customer it failed in output in edit option it is showing yellow signal and email id also maintained in cutomer master .for all other customer its ok.i m new to this could you plz suggest me and provide me the settings .
Reagrds,
Debesh

Hi Debesh,
Please go to NACE t-code in order to configure output determination, if customer master is ok for output control . in that screen, Firstly you should select V1 output control for order confirmation ,and go in your output condition records for your output control adn create a condition record for your access sequence (ıthink there is no condition record or correct condition records for your specific customer.)
When creating condition records, you should define customer number+ SP- partner function +message trn. medium-5, dispatch time- periodic job, immediate, or etx...
I hope you will solve this proble after output condition records for your spesific customer correctly.

Print HU label from Outbound delivery using output determination

Hi,
We have a business requirement to print HU labels from outbound delivery. The steps followed are
1) User executes VL02N
2) User clicks on packing
3) Material is entered to pack. HU is automatically generated.
4) After saving the delivery, output message is triggered.
Output determination is as follows
1) An Z output type is created.
2) Form entry and smartform name is assigned to this output type
Issue:
The issue is when the output message is triggered and the code in the form entry is executed, the handling unit (from nast) is not yet committed in the database. Since it is not updated in the database table, we cannot get any handling unit data to be printed.
Any inputs on how to print HU labels using output determination from outbound delivery is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Surya,
Thanks for the reply. But, my question was how to print labels from VL02N when i pack a material on this delivery.

SD: Output determination - Use of transmission medium = "Special function"?

Hi,
Would you tell me what is the specific use of transmission medium = "Special function" (table TNAPR-NACHA = 8) in the output determination for messages?
Transaction V/30
Thanks and regards,
Eric

Hi Guys - Transmission medium 8 - special function is a very strong functionality that SAP has provided. You can have a business document perform a specific function everytime it is created, obviously as an output to that document. I am not sure about FICO areas, but I have worked on it in SD.
We do automatic shipment creation for deliveries. An output condition was created with access sequence of shipping cond and shipping point. Now whenever there will be a delivery created for this shipping point, it would trigger this output. The output is configured with special function transmission medium. The special function executes the program mentioned in the condition record set up. Through that program, we create a shipment that will have that delivery doc.
So then everytime a delivery is created, we would have a shipment document created for it without having to schedule another background job....!!!!
Likewise, you may accordingly utilize FICO documents and processing using special function output medium.
Thanks
Nikhil

Config to email using output determination

Hi,
I'm trying to set up output determination that will email a PDF of the invoice at the time of invoice creation. I've created a communication strategy with a single entry for communication method "INT" for email. I added an entry for simple mail(7) in the processing routines config of the output type and pointed to my sapscript form and print program. I created the master data record using VV31 and added my own email in the communication section of the master data record. When I create my invoice, the correct output record is determined, but when it attempts to process at save, the system returns with errors in the processing log. The error message states "No communication type from strategy RD00 could be used". The diagnosis section of this error message says that the message type should be sent with a communication type, but I don't understand why this information is not pulling from the configuration that I set up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Jim Tollett

Hi James,
Every output type has a driver program (and subroutine combination) configured for each communication medium. Usually what you are looking for (email PDF) is not supported by most of the standard output types. You may need to write a driver program for this communication medium (7) or enhance the standard to support simple email.
Cheers,
Sanjeev

How could I configure Email in output determination

Hi
SAPconnect provides a standard interface for external communication, which supports sending using telecommunication services, such as FAX, pager (SMS), Internet and X.400, as well as sending to printers and between several SAP Systems. It enables external communication components to be connected to the SAP System.
As of Release 6.10, SAPconnect also provides a direct connection to the Internet using the SMTP plug-in of the Web application server. This enables you to send messages directly to Internet addresses, without using an additional external communication system. As a result, it is also possible to communicate with SMTP-compatible fax gateways or paging gateways, which do not have to be set up specifically for the SAP System, as well as external fax and paging service providers.
See the Useful Note for configuration and setup
Note 455140 - Configuration of e-mail, fax, paging or SMS using SMTP
Note 455127 - E-mail (SMTP) in different SAP releases
Note 634006 - ICM messages explanatory note
