Spool request (for invoices) to PDF creation is not working as expected

[ali-sd]

Hi Experts,

Requirement: I have bulk invoices, I want pdf creation for each invoice (or I am also ok all invoices with single pdf)

My attempts:
Step 1: Generated Spool Request in VF31 (input all 6 invoices, selected all, clicked Menu->List->Print)

Step 2: SA38 and executed the report RSTXPDFT4

Output was saved in the local system. Below are the print details (which is not as expected)

Page 1


Page 2

Below are the condition records settings

Question: I expected the above 6 invoices in 6 different pdf files or I am also ok if all 6 invoices are in a single pdf file. But here the output is not at all about invoices in detail (each invoice header and item details are missing). How do I bring them all here? Please advise

I think you did a mistake in VF31, you shouldn't use menu System > List > Print as it prints the screen.

Just select the document(s) and press button Execute.

What about using Transmission medium "1" (print) instead of "5" (choose between communication types)?

Hello sandra.rossi
I tried Transmission medium "1" but still I do not see any progress.

"No progress"? After August 10th, you have said "does not generate spool request rather sends an email to the recipients (because per our system setup, ZI02 = Email)", so do you mean it still sends an email?

Hello sandra.rossi
Yes, invoices via email are sent to customers. Because per our system setup, the output type has the transmission medium = 5 (external send) and is mapped with the below routine settings


The existing condition records too have been maintained with the transmission medium 5.
In my testing, I changed the condition records to 1, but no good news

It's all custom. Unfortunately, nobody can tell you what does the subroutine ENTRY in program ZRO_INVOICE_PRINT_PROG.

Hi @sandra.rossi,
Thank you very much for you update. I followed your advise

Step 1: VF31, input all invoices and executed


Step 2: highlighted all invoices and executed again

However, this way, system does not generate spool request rather sends an email to the recipients (because per our system setup, ZI02 = Email).

Please advise.
