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.

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

How can I update vendor fax/phone/email for output message determination?

Hello all,
I have updated vendor master record with a new fax number. But the problem is, I am still getting the old fax number in Purchase order, output message.
Is there any other change I need to make the correct new fax number in PO out put message?
Earlier I was able to send PO correctly to the old fax number.
What are the steps to update vendor fax number so it can correctly populate in PO output message medium detrmination and sent out to correct fax number?
Regards

Hi,
Hope you have created the PO document after making the changes in the vendor master.
Also check your output condition records for the application EF in t.code - NACE, whether you have maintained the old fax number, since this will have precedence over the vendor master record data.
Thanks,

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,
Yatin

Problems in output messages for PO.

Hi Experts,
We have a problems with output messages determination, if I have the PO without release approval the system send the output messages ( NEU ) I need that determination doesn't occurs when the po status is unapproved.
For Explo: I create the PO 45...01 with status unapproved, the system generate tehe messages ( NEU ) but doesnt send to destination, the send only happened when i make the realese.
There is a file with more details.
[http://www.easy-share.com/1904410163/POunapproved.doc]
Thanks,
Gustavo

Hi,
In the release strategy,if the indicator changeablity is 1 the system will not allow you to take repeat out put.
Solution is that you have to change the release indicator changeability to 6(SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Purchase order>Define release procedure for purchase order>Release indicator>Changeability).
Another option is that in the message output of the PO in further data change despatch time to 3 and take a repeat out put.
Also check,
SPRO > MM > PO > Release Procedure for PO > Release indicator > Changeability of Purchasing Document During/After Release as 2 for Release ID - G and save
And then Create go to chage mode of PO and repeat the messages

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.

Message Determination & Output Control

Hi all,
What Message Determination & Output Control?
Why we use them , also what are the configuration steps in same?
Please guide me alon with transaction codes involved in it?
Thanks in Advance.
Komal

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.

Output message can not be created in a PO

Hi to you all,
Output message can not be created in a PO for a customer. During my tests, the yellow output message was created automatically after I have saved the PO.
I checked ME9F and the table NAST, there is no entry for the PO of the customer. This happens arbitrarily.
Do you know how and why this can happen? Is it a program error or something else?
Thanks.
Esra

Hi Esra,
if I do understand you correctly, when creating the PO the system always finds a message to be created ("yellow" message). But arbitrarily the message cannot be generated in ME9F, correct?
In my view, if the message is always determined correctly in the PO there cannot be any trouble concerning condition records, the error has to occur later in the process.
Are there any error messages in the processing protocol of a message that cannot be created? What happens if you set the transmission time-spot to 4 (immediatelly)?
Just my 2 cents

Automatic output message generation for PO

Hi Forum,
I am getting below message while creating a PO, I want to set Automatic output message - (my output is by e mail). Please help...!!!
No message generated for output of purchasing document
Message no. 06261
Diagnosis
The system was not able to find a message record via the message determination schema. Therefore it was not possible for such a record to be generated for this purchasing document. In consequence, the purchasing document cannot be outputted (printed or transmitted).
Procedure
The message determination process should be checked and, if necessary, corrected.
The message record can be created manually for this document. For this purpose, choose the function "Messages" in the menu "Header" and maintain the necessary data.
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit Guliani

Hi Rohit,
You need to check that your print program is SAPFM06P and form as MEDRUCK.
Any testing should be done with this testing and once thus setting works, you may go back to your own program and form if you like. This helps a lot in identifying the area of error.
Please tell me you support pack level for SAP_APPL. It starts with SAPKH***** (like SAPKH46C08).
After that your help can be done.

Message determination and Partner function LS (Logical system) for PO

Hi,
I have worked in the past with vendors (VN) as partner roles in a PO, with the message to create an EDI outpout to Partner Type: LI (Vendor), and this works succesfully.
Now, the idea was to use in EDI, a Partner Type: LS (Logical system) as a receiver of EDI messages (message types: ORDERS) for inbound Purchase Orders to the Partner.
So, we have set up a respective message condition, with Partner Function: LS (Logical System), in transaction: MN04 (Create Output-condition records).
A. When we use ME59N and create a PO with ref. from a PR (created from a sales order), the message determination works well, it reads the condition set in MN04 (condition records for messages), and creates a message (with output type for EDI , medium: 6, and partner function LS: Logical system). Message is created and idoc is sent to partner.
B. When we try with ME21N, ME21 and we create the PO with ref. to the same PR, either by entering manually the PR in the document overview of ME21N or by selecting the PR (without entering the PR number), i.e with date, the message is not created in the PO.
Company code is assigned to purchase organization, and so is purchase organization to plant.
Any idea why there is no automatic message determination in the case of the transaction: ME21N?
There is a single message condition that is to be read for both cases (trans: ME59N and ME21N).
Note: If I try ME21N, and enter the output type and partner (=Logical System), manually, I receive a warning message :
VN006 (Partner XXXX does not exist for partner function LS). If I accept this warning message, then message is saved- idoc is sent.
However you can not assign a partner function LS to a vendor, in vendor master data, because of message CZ 327 (Can not use this partner role).
Anyone with similar experience? Thank you for your advice.

Hi,
I well understand that the receiving partner can be a partner: Vendor (LI).
I have seen that working.
However, in the Partner Profiles (trans: WE20), the receiver was created as a Logical System (LS).
We want the partner Logical system (LS) to receive the idoc for purchase order (ORDERS).
After that, I think that the idea is that the LS can generate an idoc for a sales order creation that will then outbound to another partner. I think that this is the concept.
The issue is that I have seen that the POs created with transaction: ME59N, have received from message determination (trans: MN04) the message with partner LS (automatically), and the idoc of the purchase order (ORDERS) have reached the partner LS.
The question is why the message determination fails when creating the PO from trans: ME21N or ME21, with reference to the PR. Message condition is the same and message determination procedure is the same for both cases.
There is no issue with customizing for the LS in trans: WE20
(Port processing agent is Active for LS and ORDERS have the proper processing code for application EF).
I hope I am helping more with this.
