How to assign output type and trigger printing in ABAP

hi all,
i have create invoice by using BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE and create header/item text with CREATE_TEXT.
please advise how to assign the output type and trigger immediate printing after this.
thanks.

Hi Reetha ,
This is a functional setting , and should be done by some functional guy. The setting can be done by NACE.
Just follow the path : NACE - > Select V3 for Billing - > Press Output type Button Just above - > Assign Output Type and
then Assign Output program and form in PROCESSING ROUTINE comes into left. Set this output type for immediate print.
Whenever You create a billing document by BAPI with this document type , the print out will be fired immediately.
Hope it will solve your problem.
Thanks.

How to assign an output type to a document via ABAP

Hello Guru's
I have an interface with a 3rd party system to send information from deliveries. When a delivery is created, we trigger output with 'Post goods issue' and output triggers the interface.
We need to also trigger output with 'reverse goods issue' and here is the problem. When GI is cancelled I don't know how to trigger the interface having the control from Sales not from MM.
I'm thinking to use the same approach assigning an output to the delivery in a user-exit of GI cancellation process. But I don't know how to assign this output to a delivery document using ABAP. I have looked for BAPI's or Functions but no successful.
- Do you know how to assign outputs to documents via ABAP?
- Do you have any other idea to trigger the interface when GI is cancelled?
Thank you in advance,
Manuel

Hi,
Guess u need to maintain it in SPAD transaction.

Regarding output type and idoc trigger issue

Hi
i need to copy pgi quantity into sales order quantity for that i write a code into user exit MV50AFZ1. code is working fine but
output type and idoc is not trigger due to this. In this exit to update sales order quantity i used bapi *BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE . can anyone tell me why o/p type and idoc not trigger ,what is the reason and what is the solution for this?
Thanks
Dinesh

Hi Dinesh,
Did you activate the enhancement for user exit ?
Did you check if the output type is configured correctly ?
Put a debugging point and see if control is coming there.

What are the output type and Tcodes?+

What are the output type and Tcodes?

hi,
ex-how to config output type.
You will assign output types using Transaction NACE.
Do the follow steps to assign output type
1)Select Application Type V2 which will have description Shipping.
2)Click on Output types button.
3)Go to change mode by pressing Ctrl+F4.
4)Select one output type which already exists
5)Do Copy As(F6)
6)Give your output type against Output Type field.
7)Under General data Tab, Give Program and Form routine and Save the data.
i think it a work of functional guy but at senior level i think it is not a big deal for abaper.
Check the following documentation
In NACE t-codewe have the application for each one. based on the application output type can be defined, based on output type script and print progrma can be defined.
If suppose data can be read from EDI then we should go for condition records.
So whenever we execute the script first composer checks the output type and then execute the program. in program whenever opn form FM will be populate then script will open first. After that again program till another FM will populate if it then script will populate........like it is cycle proces. Composer does all these things and at last it will submit that output to spool.
Go to the Transaction NACE.
choose the related sub module.. like billing or shipping
doubel click on Output Types
Choose the Output Type for which whcih you wanted your script to trigger
Then select the Output Type and double click on Processing Routine
Then go to create new entries--> Select the Medium (1- print output), then enter your Script and Print Program detls --> Save and come out
Now go to the Transaction (for which you have created the output type)... Issue output--> Select the output type --> Print....
Device Types for SAP Output Devices (Detail Information)
Definition
The device type indicates the type of printer to be addressed. When you define an output device, choose the name of the device type that was defined in the SAP System for your printer model, such as Post2 for a PostScript printer. In the case of frontend printing under Microsoft Windows, you can also use the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN.
The system uses the information in the device type to convert a document from the internal SAP character representation (spool request in OTF or in text format) to a device-specific, print-ready data stream (output request). Since a device type specifies attributes that apply to all devices of a certain model, it can be shared among device definitions. For example, all devices in the SAP spool system that are compatible with Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIID printers would use the HPLJIIID device type.
You should not confuse the device type with the printer driver. The device type is the total of all attributes of an output device that the SAP System must know to control the output device correctly, such as control commands for font selection, page size, character set selection, and so on. These attributes also include the printer driver that SAPscript/Smart Forms (the SAP form processor) should use for this printer. The SAPscript printer driver that is to be used for devices of this type for output formatting is therefore only an attribute that the device type specifies.
How do I choose the correct device type?
In most cases, the SAP System already provides the appropriate device type for the printer type for the printer model that you want to use.
These standard device types are completely defined and need no modification or extension before you use them in device definitions.
You can also download missing device types from the sapserv server. For a current list of the supported device types, see SAP Note 8928 in the SAP Service Marketplace.
Most printers can be controlled using a generic format, such as PostScript. They can be switched to a mode that is compatible with one of the standard printers for which an SAP device type is available. In this case, a supported model is emulated.
Almost all printers are delivered with Microsoft Windows printer drivers. The system can control these printers with the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN. The Microsoft Windows spool system then performs the processing of the print data.
If the specified device types are not available, and generic device types cannot be used, you must create your own device type or edit a copy of an existing device type. We recommend that only those with specialist knowledge of the SAP Spool System and printer driver code do this. For more information, see Defining a New Device Type .
Attributes of a Device Type
A device type is distinguished by the attributes listed below. If you change an existing device type or create a new device type, you must change at least some of these attributes.
Character set: A character set specifies the codes with which characters must be represented in the print-ready output stream (output request). This code replaces the generic SAP characters set that is used internally by the SAP spool system (spool request).
Printer driver: You can specify different printer drivers for printing SAPscript documents and ABAP lists.
Print controls: Print controls represent printer operations, such as boldface or changing the font size. These print control are replaced by printer-specific commands during the creation of the output request from a spool request.
Formats: Formats specify the format supported by the SAP system. The system differentiates between SAPScript formats (DINA4 and LETTER) and ABAP list formats (X_65_132 = 65 rows/132 columns).
Page format: A page format is the interface between a format and SAPscript. It specifies the paper dimensions with which SAPScript can calculate the row and column lengths.
Actions: Actions are output device-specific commands that are required for the implementation of a format. The action printer initialization, for example, can contain a printer command with which the number of rows on a page is defined. There is a set of actions for every format supported by a device type.

Assigning output types

Hi,
I want to know how to define and assign output types.
In VA02- Issue Output To - Print Preview- i am not able to view the output.
In configs, the output type is assigned to the specific sales order type as well.
Thank you,

You can veiw and achange the output type for all the SD MM documents in Transac: Nace.
Go to the application V1 and there you can assigh the routines and the partners as well as check the procedure.
Next go to VoV8 and take your order document type. find out whether you have given the correct o/p procedure.
Next go to Va02 go to the extras output header next edit
there you define your output condition type and the partner and set the Communication metd.
you will get the o/p.
reward points if helpful,

Wrong output type and procedure

I have a problem when i choose the output type for my billing document it does not allow me to choose RD00 . Instead it give me a list of different output types which are listed in a different procedure under V3 application . I have defined my own procedure for RD00. How can i make sure that it chooses my procedure and output type and not someone else procedure and output type .
THANK YOU,
Alisha

Hi Alisha,
I think you have not assigned your o/p type to your O/Pprocedure.
Please check :
Use T/Code :NACE> Application V3-> Procedure-->Select your procedure --> choose "control" ---> Add your O/P here.
Hope this will work for you.

Define Output type and Local destination per user

Hi Gurus,
Nowadays us have defined Output type by Sales Organiztion/Order Type (S_TCODE = VV11).
Is possible define Output type and Local destination per user?. How to do?.
thanks and best regards,
Wilson

Hi Wilson
As per my understanding of requirement: you want output type and Local destination for each SAP End user (i.e. who is processing sales order) not the customer. If this is the requirement, we have two solution for it:
1) If for a particular region/sales district customer are contacting to one particular destination, then create access sequence with output type/order type/sales district. Means for one sales district one Local destination. If sales district is big area and you have many local destination with in that, then you can divide it into regions.
2) Ask your ABAPer to create a Z table and maintain Local destination for all Users. And amend the print program such that before saving the output entry into NAST table, based on SY-UNAME(user's id), fetch the printer (local destination) from Z table and update the NAST table accordingly.
As per my observations, option 2 is simpler and more effective.

 i have a problem finding output type and form for the transaction j1iv .actually i need to find the standard output type and form name for the transaction j1iv. how can we do it.

Hi Abinash,
 Go through the following steps.
 1 . Go to the transaction NACE.
 2. You will be able to see the Application and description tab over
 there. Select the Application for which you need the output type.
 3. After selecting the Application..on the top you can see the tab--
 output types...click in that..here you will be able to see all the output
 types for that application.
 4. Now select a output type ..and on the left side u will be able to see
 the tab for processing routines...double click on it...
 5. Here you will be able to see the standard SAP program...the form
 routine...the form..attached to it..
 Please Reward..if helpful..

in the above code Perform processing you need include all your open_forms and write_forms, close_form. the data you are trying to pass it to script. i hope it is clear.you need to put that logic in the form ENTRY.

Link between output type and the email id in me22n ?

Hi,
Can anyone plz explain the link between the output type and the email id maintained in the address data in ME22n ?
The output type is configured fo rsending Email .Whenever i maintain the email id in the address data the outptu type gets triggered automatically but if I leave it as plank the output type does not get triggered.
Can any one explain this dependency?
thanks in advance
regards,
Ashwin

Hi,
It depends on the output record that you have used, what is the key?
It is no different that printed POs where the Printer Id is not specified in the communications tab of the output record. If the systen can't find where to send the output to it will not generate the record.
If it did generate the record without the email address, what would you expect to happen? Where could it send it?
It is far better to get the warning message "unable to determine ......" that to simply save the PO without the email addrerss.
So I would simply see the warning message as an indication that the email address is missing and fill it in before saving.

Want to assign output type while posting document in MIGO

Hi All,
I want to assign output type(WEE1) while posting document in MIGO txn.
It can be done through configuration but it won't apply in my case as I have some conditions to put as well.
If anybody could suggest for any User Exits/BADI/Enhancement spots for the same would be of great help.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
There are many reasons why an update could be terminated, not
just
number ranges.
Go to transaction SM13.
Enter the date and user ID if known and find your transaction that was
terminated. Drill-down until you find which function (line) caused the
termination and double click. That should help you determine why the update failed.
update was terminated

Difference between "output type" and "output medium" in interface

Can comebody kindly tell me the difference between "output type" and "output medium" with respect to interface?
Thanks,
Max

Hi,
Output medium means , how you wants to see the output like
Printout, Fax, Mail, or EDI output etc
Output type/Condition Type means for every Application document an Output type is create for the Output Message determination, this is linked with the Condition records, Medium, Program and the Output Script or smartform.
