Purpose of Output types

Hi!
I am new to output types... what is the purpose of output types?
For example, if we have a form SD_INVOICE_LIST, some Z program using this form and two output types: LR00 and RDES.
What does it change if we use one output type or other output type?
Where is defined which output type will be used?
Will reward,
M.

Output type - interface between print program and sap standard transaction.
print program calls form by using open_form function module.
this output type will trigger application wise ( Example - LR00 output type,this one will trigger Vf21,Vf22,VF23 Transaction ).
Just goto NACE Transaction ->select application V3 -> click on ouput type ->select LR00 output type ->click on processing routine.
here you are able to see program and layout.

What is the purpose of Output types for a particular FORM

Hi,
All
can any body explain me what an output type is for a form, and also why we use it and where we use it

hi,
Output types are represent how you want to output information. In SAP Script context it links the print program with SAP script. Output types are part of Output determination procedure which is linked to the application (e.g. Purchsing). Output types are also linked to Access sequence, which allows you to create condition records so that output types can be processed automatically.

Purpose of specifing an output type when assigning procedure

Hi All,
I assign an output determination procedure to sales document type 'OR'in customizing, at the same time need specify an output type. Like the help saying following:
<i>"In this menu option, assign output determination procedures to the documents.
You may also specify an output type which is to be displayed when the relevant document is displayed or changed"</i>
I'm comfusing with last words, based on my kmowledge when the relevent document is created or changed, output determination process select the corresponding output types from the procedure. The selected output types maybe
not the output type specified when assigning output determination procedure. So seem output type specified is useless. What is the purpose of specifing an output type when assigning an output determination procedure?
Thanks,
--Alex

Suppose there are two output types defined for a condition.
I guess you are not sure what you are looking for. You can have multiple conditions of a single output type. The above statement doesn't hold true.

Problem in using output type for purchase order

Hi experts,
I am using output type for first time so may be i have done wrong configuration for po output type.The steps i have done are :-
1) Going to tcode NACE->Selected the row u201CEF Purchase Orderu201D and clicked on u201CProcedures".
2) In procedures there are 2 procedures for the application EF (Purchase Order). To proceed further, we would need to find out the procedure that is currently active.Gone to transaction SPRO. In this, navigate as Materials management -> Purchasing ->Messages -> Output control -> Message Determination Schemas ->Define Message Schema for Purchase Order
3) Clicking on u201CAssign Schema to Purchase Orderu201D. So, the procedure RMBEF1 is active for EF (Purchase Order) .
4) Go back to transaction NACE. Select u2018EFu2019 and click on u201COutput typesu201D.
5) Let us use the output type u201CNEU name purchase orderu201D for this purpose. Double-click on NEU.
6) Ensured that the checkboxes u201CAccess to conditionsu201D and u201Cmultiple issuingu201D are checked and the access sequence is 0001(DocType/PurchOrg/Vendor).Only 0001 and 0002 is available in f4 help for this.
7) Now clicked on u201CProcessing Routinesu201D on the left hand side. Ensured that there is an entry for Medium u2018Au2019 (Distribution ALE).
8) After that going back to the main screen of NACE. Select EF (Purchase Order) and clicked on u201CCondition Recordsu201D.
Select NEU and clicked on u201CCondition recordsu201D. The pop-up box appears that gives three radio button option :-
1) Purchasing output determination :purchasing org / vendor for EDI
2) Purchasing output determination :doc. type / purchasing org /vendor
3) Purchasing output determination :document type
but it is not having option only for purchasing organisation through which we can send idoc for changes or creation of PO in that particular pur.org now if i choose 2) i have to give doc type and purchasing org both bcoz they are mandatory fields and value for vendor.
9) Also i have done the necessary ALE configuration (not covered in this document). In the partner profiles, use the message type u201CORDERSu201D and the IDOC type u201CORDERS05u201D.In the tab u201CMessage Controlu201D, used the process codes u201CME10u201D and u201CME11u201D for u201CPO Createu201D and u201CPO Changeu201D respectively.
but the idoc is not generated many times when po is changed and when once it is generated it is giving error
Please suggest solution.
Thanks in advance
nehavt

In me22n in messages tab after looking into processing log it is giving->No recipient found for message type ORDCHG in the
ALE model ,next time giving error as no idoc items belonging to purchasing document found,when i changed message type to ORDCHG the status is green in messages tab it is giving-> error occured while idoc xyz is sent and in WE02 status is red 02
error passing data to port(could not find code page for receiving system)

Purchase order - output type vendor different from PO vendor

Hello,
we have created a new output type that sends our purchase order as emails. The email will be sent to the vendor email address that is entered together with the output type under messages of a purchase order.
We need the emails to be sent an internal email address, so we don't send them to the vendor right away. For that reason, we have created a new vendor X that has our email address, only for that purpose.
If we now have a purchase order with vendor Y (this is the real vendor) and use our new output type along with vendor X (this is the vendor only created for sending the PO as email to us), will this affect the accounting process of how the purchase order is handled? Or does vendor X have no impact on accounting in this case?
Thanks
Anne

Hi Anne,
Vendor available (in your eg. X) in the output type messages screen for PO does not have any impact on accounting processes of main vendor (in your eg Y).

Problem in creating New output types - Urgent

hi all,
Issue is that we had created a new plant(NSC) and for that plant, we had created new scripts for Indent and Sales Order. Means I have to create new output types for NSC Orders and Indents.
What i did that I went to SPRO- IMG- Basic Functions- Output Control- Output Determination- Output Det using Cond Tech- Output Det for Sales Documents , created new output types ANSC and BNSC for AN00 and BA00 respectively.
Then Output Types assigned to Partner Functions. Then I went to 'Maintain output determination procedure' and copied V06000 (Quotation Output) and V10000 (Order Output) to ZV0000(NSC Quotation Output) and ZV0001(NSC Order Output) respectively.
Then I went to ZV0000(NSC Quotation Output) and ZV0001(NSC Order Output) determination procedures and changed outputtypes to ANSC and BNSC instead of AN00 and BN00.
Now what should i do next?? I went to 'Assign Output determination procedures' but here no new entries can be added and I cant find procedures which I created.
Any ideas please??
Regards,
Aisha Ishrat

HI,
follow this steps:
1. In assignment u have to assign ur new output to respective documents
eg: Assign ZV0000(NSC Quotation Output) to QT sale doc type
2. After doing this u have to maintain condition record
goto tcode: VV11-> here enter ur condition type which u have defined-> inside fill in the details--> now click the <b>communication</b> ikon in top--> fill in the details

Invoice output type getting triggered after setting SY-SUBRC = 4 in routine

Dear Friends,
When ever invoice document is generated, if the invoice document is completed and if its accounting document is generated successfully, we need to trigger an output type for invoice ZRD0
For this purpose, we have created a routine 902 in our system. If the required condition, mentioned above, fails then SY-SUBRC set as 4 else set as 0 to trigger the output type.
Currently we are facing a problem, even after setting SY-SUBRC as 4 in routine 902, output type ZRD0 getting triggered.
Please help me to fix this bug.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Amol Chaudhari.

Hello Aditya,
I have maintained same code in both routines 'kobed_902' and 'kobev_902'.
Required code maintained in the routine,
sy-subrc = 4.                          " Do not trigger output type
* If the posting document is created or Billing document canceled    *
* and if invoice document is Completely processed then the output    *
* type ZRD0 is Triggered.                                            *
IF komkbv3-uvall CA gc_c.   "Invoice document is complete or not
    IF komkbv3-rfbsk CA gc_ce.   "For VF01 and VF11
      sy-subrc = 0.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
We are getting this problem on production client and not able to generate the scenario on quality.
The output type is actually an EDI output type which is generating an IDOC for the invoice.
Thank you.

Attachment of output type to Invoice

Each type after i create a Invoice i have to go into Header and assign the output type (RD00) for printing purpose is there any other method wher i can give it commonly, so that i dont have to go and give it every time i create an Invoice. Like some mass attachment//... Please help me frnds.

Hi,
Output determination works as per follows:-
1.First you will have to create a output type.
2.Assign output program to this output type either SAP script or Smartform.
3.Assign this output type in output determination procedure along with the desired access sequence.
4.Assign this output determination procedure to your document type Order/Delivery/Billing
5.Maintain the condition record for the access sequence or you can maintain manualy in order/delivery/Billing
6.You can also add the output type manually in the order/Delivery/Billing.
Reward points if helpful.

Repeat Output-Type determination

Dear all,
We have a new output-type for printing invoices. Now we have to reprint a lot of "old" invoices with this new output-type.
Is there a possibility to repeat the output-type determination for a big quantity of invoices (like mass change)?
Thanks for your reply.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi,
Use the T.Code "VF31" for this purpose.
Goto the T.Code "VF31".
Give the Output type.
Give the transmission medium.
Give the processing mode as "1" if it is for the first time.Else give the value as "2" for repeat processing.
Enter the sort order as "01".
Enter the billing document number range.

Output Type is not triggering

Hi,
We have created routine in output determination(VOFM) to trigger the output type (for IDoc) when ever Sales Order is created and we have configured correctly. Access Sequence containes KOMKBV1, KOMPBV1, etc.
When I checked in development system, I am getting values in KOMKBV1, KOMPBV1, etc and it is serving my purpose,
But when i tested same in quality system, KOMPBV1 structure is not getting values and this is not serving my purpose ( i.e output type is not triggering) .
Could any one please suggest me why it is happening.
Regards,
Aditya.

There is no problem with Access sequence
Below are the fields for the accesss sequence.
Sales document type KOMKBV1     AUART
Sales organization      KOMKBV1     VKORG
Distribution channel     KOMKBV1     VTWEG
Division                        KOMKBV1     SPART
Customer group 5        KOMKBV1     KVGR5
Plant                             KOMPBV1     WERKS
The same is working fine in Developemnt but not in quality.
I went to debugging mode while creating a sales order in both systems for checking where exactly KOMPBV1 is getting cleared.
I could find in
SAPMV45A
MV45AF0B_BELEG_BEARBEITEN_ENDE
FORM BELEG_BEARBEITEN_ENDE
Call function messaging
When the program is going in this..... the value for KOMPBV1 is getting cleared in Quality but the same this is working fine in Development...
Hope this coulld help you in understanding the problem better.

Special functions in output type

Hi
For all the output types I need to use transmission medium 8( Special function).Kindly let me know what is purpose of special functions and where to see output of the form .
Points will be rewarded.

Hi,
Usually Special Function Output types are used if you are not using the standard outputs like IDOC, Print for which SAP standard programs and mehtods/Forms(SAP SCRIPTS) are available. If you want to create an output other than those or if you need some other functionality then you can maintain Special Function Output types and need to maintain the program to process that output type.
Thanks

Two modifiable invoice output types to be generated

Hi experts,
One of my customer has requested us that he need modifiable output types. the first invoice will be like a normal one which he want to keep it for company internal purpose and posting to FI will be done on that basis.
the second invoice is based on first and is splited into two parts which he want to send to customer it can be anything llike 80-20, 90-10, 40-60, 50-50, 20-30 and many more as per user requirement. the field on which the invoice is to be splitted is on material price. in part A suppose it will be 80% of material price + 100% taxes and in part B it will be remaining 20% of the amount left. Everywhere in first part 100% of taxes are charged.
can i use proforma invooice concept or any other or a complete Z program is to be written.
please suggest
with regards
SANTOSH GOSWAMI

hi,
i think you can achieve it
but, its a huge task for an abaper to understand your requriment
as per your requriment you have to align that many logics in the smart form from smart form point of view.
then i think so that many condition types in outside condition records.
happy new year
please check with your abaper and confirm

Workflow triggered twice. Triggered using Message Control/Output Types

I created an output type for VA01. After creating (then saving) SO, workflow is immediately triggered which shouldn't be the case since I have to run program 'rsnast00' to trigger workflow. So workflow is triggered twice during the process. How do i fix this?
DATA:
dispatch time = 'send with periodically schreduled job'
application = 'v1'
transmission medium = 'events'
processing 1
program = 'RSWEMCO1'
form routine = 'CREATE_EVENT'

May be the workflow is triggered in such a way that when ever out put type is created then the workflow must be triggered.
As the purpose of the report stated by the SAP is
Purpose
Issues output from all applications with send times 1 and 2.
May be the output type is created twice but the output of the report is not Duplicated. ( mentioned by SAP ) check the documentation of the report.
