query rgd. output types

[Former Member]

Hi,

This is wrt output types. If we just select an output type from NACE for billing, and the processing routines for an output type. we can find different mediums, which one of these mediums will be used when the output type is triggered?

Hi,

The default output medium would be 1 i.e Print output, however you can specify the medium how the output has to be produced ( This needs to be maintained in NACE transaction ) accordingly the output will be sent.

Hope this helps.

Does the default option come when an output type is triggered. Then does that mean that we maintain 2-3 transmission mediums, and when we specify one as default, the output is triggered through that transmission medium. In fact I'm looking at specifically RD00 output for billing documents...

All the output is controlled by document type and output types. Now you will assign an output determination procedure to a document type. In this procedure you will specify which output types need to be triggered when the document is created. Then you will also specify which condition tables are to be accessed in order to find out the defaults for the partner. Short answer is, if you don't do anything except saving the document, yes the default option will be triggered. If you didn't specify the default option(didn't maintain the condition records), still the output type will be triggered, but will not be transferred to any medium. In such cases you need to go to the document, and fill the missing information and save the document, then it will send the output to the medium specified.

I can tell you exactly where to look for it once I get to my office, but meanwhile, you can search for these in IMG for config settings and in your billing document and NAST table for your output.

Hey Srini,

Thanks for the detailed explanation...

Just wanted to experiment if we could specify different processing routines, for different trans. mediums that we are using, and then specify one of 'em as a default for sometime..and then switch between the trans. mediums....ok but we should be maintaining appropriate condition records for the trans. mediums...yep I got it.

Also wanted to know if you have any idea of calling a workflow(business object event) from an incomplete document procedure or log...(which is written when we save incomplete documents)

No, I haven't come accross such requirement, but if I find something I will post here. Please close the post once answered.

Your default medium is assigned based on the condition records maintained for the partner. In the condition records you will mention explicitly which partner prefers which medium of output. In config you in the output determination, you will specify whether the defaults can be manually overridden, or repeated etc.

Please reward appropriately and close the post when answered.

Hi Vijay,

It depends upon what meadium you select in the document.

For example in the invoice (VF03) select the menu Goto -> Header -> Output. Here you can give an output type and medium. So the output is based on the mediumm selection.

hi,

the medium is used for the output will goto printer/fax/edi like that

as per the medium the ouput will be sent

if its edi/ale, once we save the document the details will be sent the corresponding system using change pointer

cheers,
