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!!

    Hi,
    Customization steps for Output of Purchase Order
    1. Condition Table
    SPRO > Material Management> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Condition Tables->Define Condition Table for Purchase Order
    Select:
    Purchasing Doc. Type,
    Purch. Organization,
    Vendor
    2. Access Sequences
    SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Access Sequences->Define Condition Table for Purchase Order
    3. Message Type
    SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Types->Define Message Type for Purchase Order
    4. Message Determination Schemas
    4.1. Message Determination Schemas
    SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Schema->Define Message Schema for Purchase Order-> Maintain Message Determination Schema
    4.2. Assign Schema to Purchase Order
    SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Schema->Define Message Schema for Purchase Order-> Assign Schema to Purchase Order
    5. Partner Roles per Message Type
    SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control-> Partner Roles per Message Type ->Define Partner Role for Purchase Order
    6. Condition Record
    Navigation Path: SAP Menu-> Logistics -> Material Management -> Purchasing-> Master data->Messages-> Purchase Order-> MN04-> Create
    Now you create PO (ME21N) and save it. Go to ME22N and print the PO by giving output type.
    Note1
    Now Check in SPAD (Printer settings) settings & try to check the printer configuration. Check Device attributes, Access methods etc. are maintained in Spool Administration (SPAD) for the selected printer (your local Printer, may be ur using HP01or any but in SAP std is LP01) but consult with your basis consultant regarding above.
    Check the following also:
    Spool generated using SP01 or SP02.
    Output device.
    Local printer settings.
    Paper Tray, Print Mode, Printer
    Note2:
    Check MN04 and NACE t.codes

  • Output control and message types

    Hi guys,
    my problem is this:I have created a new message type for output control for Purchase Order but when I create a new PO and click on 'messages'  I expect that the new message type appear as a DEFAULT for example other messages like NEU,etc....
    Customizing is OK--> I have parametrized the tr.NACE in all points and also Message Determination Schemas...What can I do?Is there a way to set message types as a DEFAULT for Output control  in Purchase Order?
    Thanks in advance,10 points for a resolutive answer...
    Bye
    Maximilian

    HI
    I assume that you have created a new message type by cpoying a standard.
    Basic:
    You need to maintain access sequence, form routine, forms.. for this output types (which should not be a problem if you are copying from std.)
    Important:
    You also need to maintain the Fine- tuned control for message type, for  the new output type.
    You need to add your new output type in the output determination schema.
    then the thing should work. try!

  • Plant as a condition to determine output messages in PO

    Hi All:
    I configure condition table  for PO with the fields: Doc Type, Purch Org, Vendor and Plant (all the previous fields at header level except for the plant ) this table is assigned to an access that also contain the condition table: Doc Type, Purch Org. and Vendor (all the fields at header level) but when I create a condition record for the condition table that contain the plant it does not determine any message, the condition record seems to be not taking into consideration at all, however when I create a condition record for the condition table that does not contain the plant the system determine correctly the messsage in the PO. My requirement is to have the plant as a condition to determine the output message in the PO. Do you know if can get this without a user exit or enhancement, only customizing settings?
    Thanks for your help
    Best Regards

    OSS Note 457497 - FAQ: Message processing in purchasing
    Is message determination possible at item level too?
    Answer:
    No. During message determination, the system does not access the data of the purchasing document's individual items (for example, table EKPO or EKET)  because the values in the item-related table fields (for example, EKPO-WERKS) may be different from item to item.

  • User Specific Output Message Determination for Purchase Orders

    Hi Sap Experts,
    Is there any functionality in SAP where you can setup specific Output message determination for a user?
    For example whenever User A creates a purchase order through ME21N it will always be emailed to vendor, whereas for User B whenever they create purchase orders it will always be printed.
    Is this possible?

    There is no standard functionality with in SAP.
    To achieve this Create 2 output types accordingly and create customized tables with user id fields

  • Output Control - Message for Orders

    Hi all,
    i have in my system a message ZDWO ( Distribution ALE-Partner function CO-Sending immediatly-Condition ORDER TYPE) for sales orders. It works for all kind of orders except for one that hasn't automatic sending (but this type is in the list of conditions).
    What can be the reason for this? depending on the partner? or on the type of sales order? or else?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You need to maintain condition records (transaction NACR) for application V1 (Sales). Once you added the missing order type condition, the system will propose the output control in VA02 for the corresponding sales order(s).

  • Change flag needs to be unchecked during PO output message determination

    Hello All,
    WE are using automatic message output determination functionality for PO output type. This output type has been configured for creation and change mode under Fine tuning.
    Two output type are configured, for example ZAAA is output type for ALE and output type ZBBB for  archiving.
    Here  archiving functionality is used to transfer attachment from ERP system to SUS supplier portal as a pdf file. This is done via enhancement and the attachment transfer is working fine.
    During creation mode both the output types are determined and successfully processed and as a result attachment is transferred to supplier portal which is absolutely correct. In the attachment all PO line item can be seen which works well.
    Now I change the PO and add a new PO line item, system automatically default both the output type for change mode and upon saving both the output type are successfully processed.
    Now here is the problem in change mode only the added PO line item is sent as an attachment to the supplier portal. Here the requirement is see all the PO line items including the once which were newly added.
    Solution is if we uncheck the change flag for output type ZBBB during change mode then all the PO line item can be seen under the new attachment with new version.
    Please let us know how this functionality can be acheived ... is there an user exit available.
    We have a work around where we are running a background job every 3 mins and based on the last successfully processed message for output type ZAAA we are attaching first output type ZBBBfor archiving the changes and then ZAAA for sending the changes along with attachment to Supplier portal.However this solution is not the concrete one.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

  • Weird output message determination in po

    dear all,
    i'm a little confuse about output message determination in PO.
    when i create a PO with me21n, i set a vendor and then verify message output determination : a message is generated.
    but then, when i modify an item and change po type, which also have an info record, the message generated previously disappear.
    the same problem appear with all po type and they all have an info record...
    thank you for helping

    Hi,
    The PO type you mean is the document type (NB and all)
    makes your message output disappear. The you have condition record maintained for that PO document type.
    Go to MN04 select your output type whatever you are getting with the first document type and select key combination, Purchasing outputdetermination : document type and enter the new document type you are using and execute
    with other details like function as VN and all as per your requirement.
    This is a master data and has to be maintained like material masters and you can decide upon the key combinations and the output trigger methods ( fax, print and all) here.
    Best regards,
    Sridhar.

  • PO - Message determination (automatic )

    Hi ,
               Can anyone help in setting up the configuration for automatic message determination for same vendor with two different mediums .
    like ,
    For vendor A ,
    o/p type   Medium                    partner       processing    language
    NEU          5(External send)        vendorA          4                  EN
    NEU          1(Printout)                 vendorA          3                  EN
    Both the mediums should automatically pop up in messages when I create a PO .
    Thanks in advance ,

    Dear Deepa,
    After you configure all the setting for message determination in Config
    1.IMG>MM>Purchasing >Messages>Output control
    2.IMG>MM>Purchasing >Messages>assign output device to purch,group
    3.MN04
    Make sure the vendor partner function match with the message types-partner function.
    Then you'll automatically get the message types generated in PO message after saving the PO document.

  • Message determination for contracts(Purchase)

    Hi ,
              I have to recieve the automatic email of contract to buyer , I have created a
    condition table with
    1)Doctype/Buyer code(Purch group)
    2)Assigned table to acess seq
    3) Assigned acess sequence to message type
    4) Maintained message determination .
    I had used transaction NACE and selected application type EV and maintained condition records for Message type with medium 5 and partner as OA .
    Now when I create contract , I dont see the message type automatic in the contract and when entered manually , it gives me error saying partner not maintained .
    Can anyone suggest me .
    Thanks ,

    First of all check your vendor has the OA partner function and then go to SPRO-MM-Purchiasng-Messages- output control- prtner role per message type- define partner role for outline agreement
    here you have to define for OA partner function then only it will allow you.
    . You must maintain an e-mail address in the address in the vendor master.
    2. The same applies to your own user master. You also have to specify an e-mail address there in order to identify the sender.
    Note that it is not possible to change the e-mail address of the vendor via the SAP purchase order transaction (ME21N, ME22N, and so on). The system only uses the e-mail address of the vendor that is maintained in the vendor master!
    3. For the output type for default values, a communication strategy needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports the e-mail. You can find the definition of the communication strategy in the Customizing via the following path: (SPRO -> IMG -> SAP Web Application Server -> Basic Services -> Message Control -> Define Communication Strategy). As a default, communication strategy CS01 is delivered. This already contains the necessary entry for the external communication. Bear in mind that without a suitable communication strategy it is not possible to communicate with a partner via Medium 5 (external sending).
    4. Use the standard SAP environment (program 'SAPFM06P', FORM routine 'ENTRY_NEU' and form 'MEDRUCK') as the processing routines.
    5. In the condition records for the output type (for example, Transaction MN04), use medium '5' (External send).
    6. You can use Transaction SCOT to trigger the output manually. The prerequisite for a correct sending is that the node is set correctly. This is not described here, but it must have already been carried out.
    7. To be able to display, for example, the e-mail in Outlook, enter PDF as the format in the node.
