Block automatic invoice output

[former_member1262701]

Dear all,

Please reply if it's possible to block automatic output of a single invoice document while or before saving it, not changing the output procedure for the whole billing type in VOFA?

Thank you in advance

Regards,

Roman

I am wondering if you are looking for the same function I am, which is to restrict the billing output from being generated if an accounting document is unable to be created. Can you clarify your question with some additional information?

Theoretically, it is possible to prevent issuing automatically the output for a specific billing document, but it really depends on the actual business requirement (which you did not share).

One possible way for example would be to stop the release to accounting if certain prerequisites are not fulfilled.

Another option would be to evaluate in the output requirement some parameter that you set at document creation or in the source document, which would result in requirement not fulfilled for the output condition.

There are probably other ways as well, but still - why do you want to do this? What is the business reason not to print a specific billing document? The reason why I ask is that maybe the output procedure is not configured in a very optimal way - otherwise why the business users would look for exceptions from the currently established rules?
