Hi All,

Yes, there is an impact of S/4 HANA and NACE will not work for PO outputs.

With SAP S/4HANA a new Output Management approach is in place. By design, the new output Management includes cloud qualities such as extensibility enablement, multi tenancy enablement and modification free configuration. Therefore, the complete configuration differs from the configuration that is used when output management is based on NAST. The configuration is based on BRF+ which is accessible for Customers. In SAP S/4HANA, the target architecture is based on Adobe Document Server and Adobe Forms only. For the form determination rules (along with other output parameters) BRF+ functionality is used (in this sense in combination with the message determination).

Output management based on NAST is no longer supported for new documents in purchase order. Purchase orders which are migrated from legacy systems and for which NAST based output has been determined, can be processed with this technology. For all new purchase orders the new output management is used. Therefore in Procurement for purchase order there is a need to adapt the configuration settings related to Output Management. In purchase order it is recommended to use Adobe Forms but due to compatibility the form technologies known from Business Suite (like SmartForms, SapScript) are supported as well. This is also true for the print reports.

In Purchase order processing it is recommended to use Adobe Forms but due to compatibility the form technologies known from Business Suite (like SmartForms, SapScript) are supported as well. This is also true for the print reports.

In contrast to the output management based on NAST the new output management supports only the Channels PRINT, EMAIL, XML (for Ariba Network Integration) and IDOC (for on premise). Other channels are not supported by default.

Additional information to the new output management in SAP S4/HANA can be found in the general simplification item related to Output Management (Cross Topic Area).

Output Management for Purchase Order has to be configured. In cases where there is not customer specific configuration for the new output management for purchase orders, it will not be possible to print purchase orders or to send purchase orders via e-mail or XML.

PO output change management impacted by S/4HANA and below is the config.

Hi,

With reference to First mail,

First please maintained the details on the message screen as shown in the screen shot and then save.

Go back to message screen and click on PDF, you should be able to see PO form and from there you can print.

It worked for me.

Please have look of Message details and Form for your reference.

Thx,

Vivek
