  • Output determination configuration

    Hi Expert,
    Please give me the all steps for  Output determination configuration for SHIPMENT (txn VTO2N).
    Since I am technical guy I am not aware with this configuration, so please consider it and please provide me from scratch.
    As I  create one output type ZAV7  it is similar to ZA02  existing one.
    i copied existing program that is running for ZA02.
    AND ASSIGNED THIS COPIED PROGRAM TO NEW FORM i.e. ZAV7(output type).
    After that I transfer it to 220 client.
    when I run Txn VT02N. for ZA02 the form is coming properly.....but for ZAV7.....
    it gives the message
    You have specified an output category which has not been defined according to the output determination procedure.
    After this message i am not able to do the configuration.
    thanks

    Hi Babbal,
    You have to assign ouput type to the ZAV7.
    Please follow the following configuration:
    Go to SPRO> Logistics execution> Transportation> Basic transportation functions> Output control> Maintain output determination for shipments
    Steps-
    1. Maintain condition table or u can use the existing table 017 "Shipment type" or 022 "transport planning point and shipment type".
    2. Maintain access sequence: Here you can use standard access sequence 0001 or 0002 based on the condition table you have maintained.
    3. Maintain output type- Add new entry ZAV7, give description. In general data tab page assign the access sequence you used. Check the access to conditions. For default values tab page- maintain the dispatch time as 4 Send immediately, transmission medium as 1print output, partner function as CR. in storage system tab page maintain the storage mode as 1Print only. In Print tab page maintain the parameter as 8Transportation planning point.
    Double click on Processing routines and maintain the program, form entry and form name program.
    Double click on Partner function  and maintain medium as 1Print output and functional partner as CR. Save it.
    4. Maintain output determination procedure: Standard procedure will be already maintained V70001 "Transportation Output". Select the procedure and double click on control data. Click on new entries and maintain the step as 30, counter 1 and enter the output type ZAV7. Save this.
    5. Assign output determination procedures: maintain the shipment type, the output determination procedure and output type. Save this.
    Please reply for any further clarification.

  • Difference between Stock transfer and transfer posting

    I am little confused about the difference between stock transfer and transfer posting. Please clarify
    <<Locked - reason: failed to search before posting question>>
    Edited by: Csaba Szommer on Feb 9, 2011 9:10 AM

    Hello,
    Transfer posting may involve or not involve the physical goods transfer.  In the system you might do transfer posting from quality to unrestricted, or from one store location to another.
    In transfer posting you remove and or replace materials from storage in one storage location and place them in another storage location.
    That transction code you use for transfer posting MB1B with following movement types may be used
    301, 303,305,311,411,309.
    301 is Stock Transfer Between Plants in One Step
    303 & 305 : Stock Transfer Between Plants in Two Steps
    In stock transfer, it always involves physical movement of goods, like transfer between plants under same company code or different company codes.
    Following types are possible with STO's
    Stock Transport Order Without Delivery
    Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping
    Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document/Invoice

    Select: 
    Purchasing Doc. Type,

  • Right transmission medium and communication in output determination

    Hello Gurus,
    I defined a new output type for shipping, wrote a requirement, but I don't know which transmission medium should I define in the output type and the right communication definition in the condition records.
    I need this output to execute a program that calls a "proxy to file" method (interface).
    Each transmission medium I used caused me a dump, so eather the program the ABAPer gave me is wrong, or my definition is wrong.
    Regards,
    Daphna

    Apologies for previous response.
    General for these kind of requirement. it could be either 1-Send with periodically scheduled job & 2-Send with job, with additional time specification as Dispatch time with either 5(External Send) or 6(EDI) or 7(simple mail) as Transmission Medium.
    Don't forget to maintain relevant communication strategy, say, WEBM-Send external mail in communication method.
    Regards

  • Steps for output determination

    Hi
    Can any one give me steps for output determination
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    hi
    Output Determination Configuration
    Sales order confirmation
    1. Maintain output types (Transaction: V/30 or Sales & Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Output -> Output determination -> Output proposal using the condition technique -> Maintain output determination for sales document -> Maintain output types)
    1.1. Select and copy BA00 to ZA00
    1.2. Access sequence 0003 (Sales org / customer). If one of these is not suitable then you need to maintain condition tables
    1.3. Change Transm. Medium to 6 (EDI), partner function SP (Sold to), Time (4 = immediate)
    1.4. Check access to conditions and check off multiple issuing
    1.5. Save
    2. Assign output determination procedure (Transaction V/47 or Sales & Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Output -> Output determination -> Output proposal using the condition technique -> Maintain output determination for sales document -> Assign output determination procedure)
    2.1. Create a new entry for ZA00, medium 6, function SP and order confirmation.
    3. Maintain output determination procedure (Transaction V/32 or Sales & Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Output -> Output determination -> Output proposal using the condition technique -> Maintain output determination for sales document -> Maintain output determination procedure)
    3.1. Check Assign output determination procedures -> Allocate sales document header (Transaction V/43) for the Output procedure being used for order OR and BA00 and you’ll find that it is linked to V10000
    3.2. Select V10000 (Transaction v/32) and choose control
    3.3. Add a new step for your new output type. Eg. Step 40 (Next Step in sequence), Counter, Type = ZA00 and requirement 22 (Requirement tells when the output is required to be fulfilled. Ie. After order confirmation, after goods issue, …)
    4. Create condition records (Menu path: Logistics -
    > Sales & Distribution -> Master data. Output -> Sales document – Create)
    4.1. If required select the appropriate key combination (in this case the Sales org / customer relationship)
    4.2. Enter the customer number (QWM000 in this case) and enter. The rest of the values should be read in except the partner number.
    4.3. Enter the required partner number (QWM000 in this case). This is the partner that will be EDI’d the data. It is usefull when you have multiple SAP customers that need to send messages to 1 partner. Eg. All the Wal-Marts send their invoices to 1 office. You would then have a list of customers, relating to each Wal-Mart, pointing to 1 Wal-Mart partner that will receive all the EDI docs.
    Advance shipping notification
    Similarly the output type was copied from LALE to ZALE and linked to partner QWM000
    Based on when a delivery note is created (Transaction V/36)
    Invoice
    Similarly the output type was copied from RD00 to ZD00 and linked to partner QWM000
    Based on when a delivery goods issue is posted. (Transaction V/42)
