Output Determination - Transmission medium 5

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to send a mail to external e-mail address after PGI. I used transmission medium 8 with output type and attached my own program to it to send a mail. which is working fine.
I was wondering if there is any other way where it can be done using SAP standard output type. I can see transmission medium 5 but not able to make out what is the relevance of it? I would appreciate if anyone can guide me if transmisson meduim 5 can be used in current scenerio and if there is any benefit of using it.
Thanks in Advance,
Gagan

I recently looked into the transmission medium 5 and this is what I got from it.
Transmission medium 5 can be used to send sapscript documents to external e-mail accounts. In my situation I was setting this up for a Sales Document Output. To get this to work, I needed to make sure the sold-to customer(XD02) has an e-mail address setup and the user-id issuing the output must also have an e-mail address attached to the user's master record(SU01). The customer receives the e-mail with the sapscript document as a PDF attachment. The subject of the e-mail had the sales document number, but I'm not sure if there is a way to change the subject or add text to the body of the e-mail.
Hope this helps,
Jerrod Baldauf

How to send Mail in case of Output Determination - Transmission medium 5

Dear Friends,
I have a below requirement.
- Create custom output type having Transmission medium 5, which triggers on creation of order.
- Write driver program attached to that output type that sends e-mail to the person who has created the order.
- Mail contain information regarding pricing for individual line item wise.
I have gone through many posts but not sure about process of generate the mail in case of Transmission medium 5.
My query is:
Do we require to write FM (SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1) to send e-mail to respective person or it will take care by system (Transmission medium 5)?
If FM not required then how can we write code that triggers the mail to specific mail ID?
Nilay

Yes, for your custom requirement you will have to create a Z report.
LIke your requirement must be to put something specific in mail body or attach something with mail. All this will not be catered by the standard report maintained against your output type and transmission medium.
As i understand for any output type a message is triggerd and stored in database table (like NAST) and then these requests are picked by standard report (like RSNAST00). These reports then in return call the Program/form maintained against the ouptut type and transmission medium (table TNAPR).
So i would suggest that create a custom report and use the FM for sending mails. These FMs are pretty simple to use. Find a sample code in the below link:

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

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.

Output - Transmission Medium - Special Function

Hi
In SD Billing output, Transmission Medium used as 8.Special Function. This is sending information to Oracle(Legacy). Now we need to make some changes in output. But, in tcode:NACE, there is no print program or form assigned to this output type. In table:TNAPR also, no program displayed.
Please provide info on how/where print program assign to output type for special functions. Or which program sends output/data to legacy
Regards
Uma

Hi,
I have small idea.I hope this will help you in identifying the program you want.
First goto VF02.Enter your billing document number.
Click on billing document-->Issue output to.
Selectyour output type.Goto Print preview.
press /h.Debugging will be switched on.
Double click on that message.
Click on break points.Select Break point at-->Breakpoint at statement.
Mention call function and press Enter.Press F8 and check for "CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'".
In this check for gv_fomname.
Get it.Goto SE16.Enter the table name as "TNAPR".
Enter this form name here and get the program name.
Please do this with the help of your ABAPer.
Reagrds,

Transmission Medium NACHA = '8' Special function-executing output type

hi All,
i have requirement that through the Transmission medium '8' i need to assign the custom program to store the Smartform as PDF in the desktop location or the location where the user selects.
if i assigned the transmision medium as 8 for particular output type say ZAP1 . the particular output type is not getting displayed when i try to use issue output option through va22.
any pointers will be highly appreciated.
thanks.

ok, if you set for your output type NAST-VSZTP=3 you can add code in your print program to display popup window in which
user specify own path for storing PDF...
but if output type will be created in background ( VSZTP ne 3) then
you must save PDF in server path...and user may download it by
cg3y...

Hi Deepti,
Thanks a lot for you reply.
In my case the dispatch time(NAST-VSZTP) is getting updated as 1. And this value is getting updted into NAST table from Transparent Table T685B.
SAPDV70A                       / DV70AI0D
MODULE (PAI)    / D0100_PRUEFEN
MODULE D0100_PRUEFEN.
IF NAST-VSZTP = SPACE.
    NAST-VSZTP = T685B-VSZTP.
ENDIF.
How to proceed in this case. Can you plz suggest.

Output determination for Customer Account group - A brain teaser

At the place of configuration for Account groups, there is a field called Output Determination which has values like DB001, DB002 etc which says output for sold to, ship to and so on...
What is the purpose of maintaining output determination procedure at the account group level?
And also, where can i do the complete output determination for it? Like i could see Output determination for sales activities, sales documents, billing documents and shipping...But no where in the img screen, i found a place where i can configure these? Any ideas?

In SAP, we send different output types(read documents) for Inquiries, quotations, orders etc. to relevant partners (read contact persons) sold-to party, ship-to party etc. thru various transmission mediums like ex. Print, Fax, e-mail etc.
Output can be determined by using component output determination procedure. System should know from where the output is to be determined whether from IMG or from customer A/C group. This is depended upon the control that we can activate or deactivate in "Check access for condition type" in definition of the output type (T.Code: NV03)
Output Determination:
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Output Control > Output Determination Output Determination Using the Condition Technique > Maintain Output Determination for Sales activities/ Sales Documents etc.

My schema should produce a PDF file and get transmitted to that Vendor as soon i save my PO.
Also can i get any SAP document on this.
Pls help me. Swifty reply me.
cheers
MaruthiRam

Hi,
PO can be sent to using Outlook email or the Internal send within SAP.
Message via E-Mail
Use
You can send purchasing documents to a vendor by e-mail.
You can also send memos to an internal user from within the purchasing document, in which case the recipient can directly access the relevant document when processing the e-mail (executable mail).
Prerequisites
External Transmission
Make the necessary Customizing settings
The SAP system is configured for the transmission of external mails.
The message determination facility has been set up in Customizing for Purchasing.
You have defined a communication strategy in Customizing under Messages Output Control -> Message Types -> Define Message Types for <Purchasing Document> -> Maintain Message Types for <Purchasing Document> on the Default Values tab page, so that if no e-mail address can be found, for example, the system sends a fax.
The following information is necessary:
1.Data
2.Value
3.Comment
Message type:
Communication strategy
E.g. NEU
Choose a communication strategy or create a new one. Via the input help, you can branch to the maintenance function for communication strategies. Choose in the following window.
Enter the necessary data on the Default Values tab page on the detail screen for the message type ().
Processing routines
Medium
Program
FORM routine
5 (external transmission)
SAPF06P (e.g. for PO)
ENTRY_NEU
The entries are identical to those of the print output.
Partner roles
E.g. external transmission/LF
Maintain master data
Message records must have been created through master data maintenance (Purchasing menu). (See Creating Message Records)
Enter the necessary data u2013 for example, role LF (vendor), medium 5 (external transmission) and time spot 4 (send immediately upon saving).
SAP recommends that you work with time spot 4, so that the e-mails generated are sent immediately.
If you work with processing time spot 1 (send via periodically scheduled job), you must schedule the program RSNAST00 periodically for message output, so that messages are generated and e-mails sent.
An e-mail address is stored in the vendor master record.
An e-mail address is stored in the user master record.
Please note that you must also maintain an e-mail address for user IDs with which batch-jobs are carried out.
Internal Transmission
Make the necessary Customizing settings:
You have maintained the Customizing settings for Purchasing under Messages, Output Control -> Message Types ->Define Message Types for <Purchasing Document> -> Maintain Message Types for <Purchasing Document>.
The following information is necessary:
1.Data
2.Value
3.Comment
Message type:
Time-spot
Transmission medium (output medium)
Partner role
E.g. MAIL
E.g. 4 (send immediately upon saving)
7 (SAPoffice)
MP (mail partner)
Enter the necessary data on the Default Values tab page on the detail screen for the message type ().
Mail title and texts
E.g. mail from purchase order
Processing routines
Medium
Program
FORM routine
7 (SAPoffice)
RSNASTSO
SAPOFFICE_AUFRUF
Partner roles
E.g. SAPoffice/MP

Maintain master data
Message records must have been created for the message type MAIL through master data maintenance (Purchasing menu). (See Creating Message Records)
For more information on the internal and external transmission of e-mails, refer to the Basis documentation under Business Workplace (BC-SRV-GBT).
Further information on external transmission is available in the Basis documentation under SAPconnect and in the section External Sending in the SAP System.
Activities
External Transmission
If you have specified the processing time-spot 4 (send immediately upon saving), the system will immediately generate and transmit a message when you save the purchasing document.
If you have specified the processing time-spot 1 (send via periodically scheduled job), you must initiate the output of e-mails manually.
Result
You see the documents generated in the SAP system under Office ->Work center -> Outbox -> Documents.
Internal Transmission
On the message screen of the Purchasing application (e.g. in the purchase order), enter the message type, the medium (SAPoffice) and the role (MP = mail partner).
Choose Means of communication and enter your text on the following screen (<Purchasing document>: Send with note). Enter the useru2019s first and last names, for example, in the Recipient field.
Executable mail
If you wish to insert a transaction (because you want the recipient to view a purchase order, for example), choose Goto -> Execution parameters. Enter the necessary data, such as execution type (T = transaction), execution element (ME22N = Change Purchase Order), execution system, and the SET/GET parameters (BES for purchase order).
Result
If you have specified send immediately as the processing time-spot, the user will immediately receive a message or document when the purchase order is saved.
The user can view the message sent to him or her via Office -> Work center -> Inbox.
If the document in your inbox is an executable mail, you can click the right-hand mouse button and directly access the relevant purchase order, for example, via the menu thus displayed.
Hope it works...

Output Determination For Posted Invoice

When an invoice is posted against a purchase order I need the system to create an IDOC for external transmission.
I already have a partner profile setup for the external party (vendor). How do I go about setting up the output determination?
Thanks - points will be rewarded.

Hello, Brian
To setup the Output determination for Invoice Verification, follow the steps:
You can configure these settings through t.code: NACE
or NACT
By specifying the Application: MR (this is for INVOICE)
Select -> Application MR -> Press Output types
then -> Select your Output type
(choose LIEF, if Output is for External Vendor).
-> goto Details
then
-> choose the relevent fields in Default values Tab (i.e, mainly Dispatch TimeTransmission medium Ex: 5-External send and 6-EDI similarly Partner function Ex: VN-Vendor,etc )
then
-> Processing routines
-> Partner functions
Suggestion: You can use NACE or NACT (either)
Hope this will clarifies you,
Reward, if it helps,
Regards,
Srin.K
