Disable Purchase Order (PO) PDF Print button

Hi,
We are using SRM 550.
When a user views/changes a PO in the browser they can use the Preview Purchase Order button to view the PO as a PDF document.
This is OK, but we want to disable users from printing the form using the Adobe PDF print button as there is no print log recorded for this action and so the audit trail is compromised.
I have heard that this can be disabled by SAP when the PDF is generated does anyone know how this is acheived.
Thanks in advance

Hi Allen
field control you can do either via below badi or templates.
BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI BAdI
BBP_PO_UI_CTRL - field control in Purchase order
you must control the output preview button to disable . if you still finding problem then only this note is applicable . got it.
You do not want to provide the output preview button in the purchase order using the BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI BAdI, however, this appears as soon as you go to the output area in the header data of the purchase order. However, the button no longer has the label "Output preview", instead it just has the label "Preview".
This problem is caused by a program error: The display area contains a hidden "preview" button (the button is invisible but nevertheless it exists in the GUI) (Function group BBP_OUTPUT, screen 1100). This has the same name as the button for the "output preview" that exists separately in the button area of the purchase order (Function group BBP_PO_UI_ITS screen 2200). In the described case, the data of the output button is used for the purchase order button.
Solution
This note ensures that the output button does not exist (that is, not even in the GUI) if a calling application (in this case, purchase order) requires the generic output screen using the BBPS_OUTPUT_PUT_PBO function module without the preview button (IV_WITH_PREVIEW = ' '). Therefore, the data of the output button cannot be used for the purchase order button. This correction is available with Support Package 04 (SAPKIBKT04). For an advance correction, use Transaction SNOTE to implement the correction instructions attached to this note.

How to disable Purchase Order Print Preview function in the Portal

We wish to expose some purchase order functions in our SAP Portal 7.0. The problem is that when we run any of the purchase order transactions as SAPGUI for HTML, the Print Preview function displays the full purchase order. This means that any user who wishes to short cut processes can display and then print a purchase order before it has been approved if they use the Portal to display the purchase order.
If the purchase order transaction is run from the normal SAPGUI, the Print Preview function only displays the top of the purchase order and the print function is disabled. Has anyone tackled this problem before and worked out a way of stopping users from using the Print Preview function to display purchase orders in the Portal and then print them?

Tom Maggs

hi,
DATA: w_compop    TYPE ssfcompop.
w_compop-tdimmed   = ' '.     "Print Immediately control parameter should be empty..
Then only print preview pop-up will come..
then call your smartform like this..
CALL FUNCTION fnam
    EXPORTING
      control_parameters = w_ctrlop
      output_options     = w_compop
          TABLES
      it_vbdkr           = it_tvbdkr[]
      it_vbdpr           = tvbdpr[]

can anyone guide me the steps for configuring the above requirement.
Thanks

hi..
Message type for PO
Go to
SPRO- > MM -> Puchasing- > Purchase Order ->Forms for Messages ->Assign Form and Output Program for Purchase Order
Generally for mailing its MAIL output type..
open this and assign the programs name(if created) and form name(if created by ABAP otherwise standard program name will be there) for any particular output type which you want to use for your PO output
here set ur communication medium..whether u want to communicate with vendor through fax, mail, or different modes are there..
After that go to me21n. then Goto menu and messages..
here in the output column assing your output type and ente the communication method button...assign output device there..
It will work..
And if you using own defind output type then you have to do lot of congig like defien message type and message determination schema....
hope it works.
thanks...

Saving Purchase order as PDF

Hello all,
we would like to save our purchase orders as pdf file on the pc. We use SAPscript to create the POs.
I have already searched the forums, but I didn't find a solution for me so far.
I don't wanna use the way over the spool requests and the program RSTXPDFT4, because the end users don't have access to that.
My question is, do I have to create a new output type for that? How does that work? Or what else do I have to do (step by step)?
Thank you,
Anne

Email Sending of Purchase Order Created versus Print Output

Dear All,
I have been successful in sending the Purchase Order created as a PDF Attachment in email.
The problem i am facing is in the formatting of the attached output.
The attachment has different bold characters as compared to the print output of the PO , though both the outputs are using the same sapscript.
I am not able to find the reason for the difference.
Only because of this reason, my delivery is on hold.
Please guide me on how to find where the difference could be and how to rectify it.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhavika

Could you tell us which fonts you tried?
What device type did you choose? (SPAD transaction, select your output device to determine the device type)
Could you upload TrueType fonts (one normal, one bold) with RSTXPDF2 program (do not tick "do not embed font in PDF" option so that the font is embedded in the PDF file)?
Did you make sure that your font is not converted to another one? (SE73, printer font, choose your device type, click conversion button, and check what is the converted font)

Purchase Order concurrent request printing with XML Publisher

Need to use the standard Print Purchase Orders Report (Portrait) to print batches of purchase orders using the seeded XSL template that generates a PDF document. Used the white paper 295409.1 as a guide to create Data Definition and Template using the short name POXPRPOP, with seeded XML schema and XSL template. Changed POXPRPOP report output from text to XML.
Report completes successfully but gives no data. The PDF is blank. Am I missing a step or is the seeded template not compatible with the POXPRPOP report?

Did you check whether your Pasta is Setup Correctly?? check the pasta configuration required for XML Publisher there are couple of utils/libraries that need to be setup on the Concurrent Manager Node

Purchase order reminder letter printing

Hi all
I have a purchase order with more than one line item with different statuses and i want to print the line items as separate documents, in other words i want to generate one separate form for line items with same status and if the purchase order has line items with 2 different statuses then 2 forms should be generated. At the moment the functionality only generates one form irregardless of statuses

U need to make changes to ur driver program, loop at ur line items table and depending on the line items u want to print in one form append them to an internal table and pass it to smartform fm inside the loop and clear this temp table at the end.

Purchase Order - Quantity Field printing.

Hi Gurus.
I am printing purchase orders via SAP script.
My users want the quantity field (RM06P-PRMG1) to have a dot(.) not a comma(,)
eg they want to print the number as 200.000 and not 200,000
Is there somewhere, i can switch this without adding an ABAP routine to fix this.
Thanks.
Points will be awarded.

Hi Wandai,
Did you try changing the user settings? Access the menu and go to System -> User profile -> User defaults. Here you can see two options in the Decimal notation tab.
Option 1 is : Comma and
Option 2 is : Period.
Please change and try with each of the above option.
If this doesn't work you need to check the data type you are using for this variable.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if useful.
Thanks,

Hello,
I am facing a new problem.. I have 340 line items in my purchase order. But when i click on print preview...it takes a lot of time to generate and ends with an error saying "sap has run out of memory".. is it because of the length of the line items or is it a new problem.. kindly help.. If the former is a problem, then what is the maximum no of line items that can be entered.

Use LFA1-KONZS to determine additional purchase Order Text to print.

Dear All,
I have been asked to group vendors and for different groups the purchase order texts to change based on what group they belong to. I would think that this has been done before somewhere.
Without doing any customization I was thinking of using the LFA1-KONZS. This is where I get stuck.
Do I get the print program to look at the KONZS and select additional text with an if statement?
Does this info need to be copied to a PO table? User exit need to be changed?
Please advise,
Thanks,
Ian

Thanks for your input John,
Your questions provides the solution, this is what I did.
I created the standard text (SO10) to be added to the terms section in the PO. The current status is this:
I found the program and the form. Looking at the form I can see where the current terms text is called.
This prints fine.
IF &EKKO-BUKRS& EQ '0010'
INCLUDE ZENG0010 OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE E PARAGRAPH 'TX'
ENDIF
I added an if statement to this one:
IF &EKKO-BUKRS& EQ '0010'
INCLUDE ZENG0010 OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE E PARAGRAPH 'TX'
ENDIF
IF &LFA1-KONZS& EQ 'A1A'
INCLUDE ZENG001X OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE E PARAGRAPH 'TX'
ENDIF
Again, thanks for your support.

Purchase Order External Send, Print for single output message

Hi Experts,
          In my purchase order, NEU message output in triggered ( Medium 5 ). In communication method i defined comm strategy as CS01. Print immediately check box is active. I am able to send mail, but i am not getting printout.
          What could cause this, will i get printout, when i keep print immediate option.
          Is there any notes that is helpful for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

I assume that when you say "I am able to send mail, but i am not getting printout" you mean that for vendors where no email address can be found the communications strategy CS01 is not then printing the purchase order, is this correct?

Disable Purchase order scheduling screen

Hi All,
While creating a sales order for third party item, immidiately after entering material number & quantity, system giving a second screen as "Purchase Order Scheduling" for each item. We are having 3 option inthis screen such as "compete del, delivery proposal, Continue". after clicking any of them system brings us back to the main sales order screen.
As per my knowledge this is happenning for availability check.
My requirement is to disable this sceen, i.e. this sceen should not appear as it is appearing for each item currently.
Also if you can suggest why system is carrying an availability check for a third party item.
N.B:- this is a service item (DIEN) and does not have an availability check field
please suggest
Thanks & Regards,
BKR

Hi,
Check which schedule line category is determined for each line item and remove the flags for Availability, Req. Assembly and prod. Allocation if they are flaged.
