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.

  • Triggering output type when sales order is saved

    Hello all,
                I have a small question. Whenever I create a drop ship sales order it triggers a custom output type and prints the form by default even though this output type hasnt been saved in the sales order messages. Similarly from a drop ship PO when it is created with reference to the drop ship order and a requisition it tries to call this cusotm output type and prints the form.
    Please advice how to find the settings and make it not print this form.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
             There are few other custom output types configured for a sales order. I wonder why it picks this particular output type and prints the form.
             If I uncheck 'Print Immediately' then would it stop from just printing or even calling the form too.
              Please advice if there might be any other config which tells to call this particular form whenever a drop ship sales order is created.

  • How to not retriggered output type when changes are made in Purchase Order

    Hi All,
    Could you let me know how can I resolve this one?
    We have a custom output type. Now this output type should NOT be automatically retriggered if a change is made to the document/purchase order. Currently the system automatically repeating the output type for every change made to the document/purchase order. But there is still an option for the user to be able to manually repeat the output.
    TIA

    Hi,
    1.In order to restrict the output type to trigger you need to write the requirement routine in transaction
       VOFM> requirements>output control.
    2. create the requirement routine in application EF and write the required logic and pass the sy-subrc EQ 4 if you not require to trigger the output type and pass sy-subrc equal 0 to trigger the output type.
    3. assign this requirement routine to custom output type.

  • Purpose of entering the Condition type in Pricing procedure determination

    Dear All,
    We are maintaining a condition type in Pricing procedure determination.
    But I am not sure about the purpose of it. Because, even without maintaining a condition type, it is working.
    Could you please let me know the reason for maintaining a condition type over there.
    Regards,

    Hi.
    The condition type which you specify in the pricing procedure will be displayed in the overview screen - item level.  please try changing and check it out in sales order.

  • Assigning output types

    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.

  • Assigning output types in vf02

    the  error in print program.
    weather the control goes to print program
    or not when an output type is assigned to the tcode.
    if i run sm13 tcode , its shows error in print program.
    thanks and regards,
    Thiru.

    Hi,
    Ask your technical consultant to check the code of that particular print program (smart form / script/ print program), there may be an error in it hence system is issuing an error and i dont think there is some problem with the out put assignment.
    Hope this will help you for going ahead

    Hi,
    Check whether you have maintained the condition records for output for the above combination & also the Print device in the Communication tab & Print immediately settings.
    If you haven't maintained the above, do the same & check.

  • Assignment of output type to billing document

    I have a billing document for which output type is not assigned.
    Now, whenever I am trying to take the print by VF02, it is asking for output type. and i am giving any output type, the error is coming that " No output type is assigned to the billing document".
    Please suggest, whether we need to assign the output type to the billing document??

    Hi Praveen,
            <b>You should have a output determination procedure along with the billing type assigned to the output type(for eg: RD00,RD01 etc).Apart from this you should have a valid condition record which you create using VV31</b> in which you can control the key combination by maintaining chosen fields in the condition table which pulls the data as per the access sequence and provide you enough combination(for eg: for a certain sales org and Billing type combination etc )
    In the condition record you define the medium,dispatch time and language and not forgetting the output device as well.
    Hope this info has been useful.

  • Output types assigned to Pricing procedures?

    Hello,
    Is there any transaction code / navigation to see list of output types (fax, print, edi etc,.) are assigned to pricing procedures?.

    Hi,
    You can see the list of output types assigned to a particular OUTPUT procedure in the database tables.
    Go to SE16---Give the table name as T683S. In the table, give the usage as B and other selection criteria.
    Now you can get the list of procedures to which your desired output types are assigned.
    Hope this helps you

  • MM Purchase Order IDOC NEU output type configuration

    Hi All,
    after creation of Purchase Order in ME21N in ECC 6.0 server, i want an IDOC for Purchase order to be created...........
    i saw there is a standard output type NEU and it has EDI and Distribution Model as medium..........
    when i went to ME21N and specified in message button output type of NEU, then the PO which i created had a NEU in messages but on opening  a new session and running ME21N and creating a second PO, then in this PO there is no output type for NEU....
    So i want to know in SPRO where is the exact location which specifies which output type will be triggered for IDOC creation on PO creation in ECC for message control...............
    plz help guys...........

    Hi,
    If it configured for EDI and Distribution Model , now check condition record in T.code:MN06{ if you are geeting for one PO, you should get for other PO also)
    Also check the following confi. details 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{NEU}
    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 ,,,use medium '6' 
    Now you create PO (ME21N) and save it and then release.
    Also check in NACE t.code for standard SAP environment (program 'SAPFM06P', FORM routine 'ENTRY_NEU' and form 'MEDRUCK') as the processing routines and for the output type for default values, a communication strategy needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports . 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).

  • Output Type for VL02N

    Dear Experts,
    I have created a output type for the application V2.
    our requirment is when a user goto transaction VL02N click on Outbound Delivery->Issue Delevery Output then the Output Type should be displayed and if he clicks on that Output Type the script should execute.
    my question is after we create Output type is anything else to do to get that Output Type in specific transaction?
    thnx in advance...
    V

    Hi,
    As per your question, I assume you are asking for getting a pop-up window for selecting the Output types when executing the ISSUE OUTPUT transaction in VL02N.
    If you configured the Output type and maintain necessary setting in Output Determination procedure and Condition records.,& assignment of Smartforms and Print programs, then as per standard
    A pop-up will appear with the Output type and the Processing status of it, there you will have options
    1. To print
    2. To Print preview
    3. To check Print options.
    This is the standard design, Please check with the Developer if this design was modified in the Print program .
    Please revert back if you need more details.

  • Query regarding Output Types

    Hello Experts,
    I have one output type for sales documents. I am able to successfully trigger it for credit/debit memos but when I try to trigger it for standard orders then I am getting "Output not defined" error. Can anybody please tell me where in the config we can define output types for sales document types.
    I have one more query. While trying to trigger one billing document output I am getting "Update Terminated" error. But for same billing document I am able to trigger other output types. If "Update Terminated" error is coming due to number range then should it not be coming for all output types since there is no output type specific number range defined.

    Karan

    Hi,
    please check the configuration settings
    IMG-sales & distribution-basic functions-output control-output determination-output determination using the condition technique-maintain output determination for sales documents.
    1. create condition table . Key combination for maintaining condition record.
    2. access sequence. assign condition table to access sequence.
    3. ouput condition type. Select appropriate for inquiry, quotation or sales order. Assign the access sequence to the ouput type.
    4.ouput determination procedure. Here you assign the output type to this procedure.
    5. assign output determination procedure. Assign the procedure at header level if you want full document ouput. Assign the procedure at Item category level if you want item level output.
    6. VV11 - create  condition records for sales document types or VV31 for billing document types.
    create the order or billing document and see the result.
