Purchase Order Output Types

[Former Member]

Hi,

My requirement is that clients needs different header in Purchase Order Printout based on Plant. Means for each Plant we need a particular Header in Purchase Order.

I have found that for Purchase Order, Standard Output Type NEU is there and we attach either the standard Layout 'MEDRUCK' or custom layout to it.

Now I am thinking of making multiple Custom Layout(Copies of MEDRUCK). And also making a separate Output type for each Plant. then I will attach the appropraite Layout to each Output Type created.

1. My Question is can we create multiple Output Types?

2. And also attach multiple Output Types to a PO. And select any one(based on the need) at the time of Printing?

Hi Nitin,

Sure you can, but that is not a good solution for your problem. It is by fas easier to just copy the standard form and create multiple headers (one for each plant) and just print the header you want during runtime based on the plant. In this way you will have only one form, regardsless the number of plants.

Hi Gunjan,

Could you please clarify on where exactly to inset the code you have sent.

I am seeing the Driver Program as 'SAPFM06P' in which the Form Routine is 'ENTRY_NEU' for Print output. This form Rourine is using to FM 'ME_READ_PO_FOR_PRINTING' - for reading thr PO Data.

and Other 'ME_PRINT_PO' for Printing the PO.

Now where do you want me to insert the code(in program 'SAPFM06P' or in suboruitne 'ENTRY_NEU' or in FM 'ME_READ_PO_FOR_PRINTING').

If anyone knows please reply as it will solve my problem.

Hi Nitin,

1) You can create multiple output types for a purchase order and each output type will have different layout names when use assign outtypes through transaction NACE.

2)Yes,You can select a particular output type for a PO.

Just specify a parameter in your driver program which will accept output type(KSCHL).

I recommends you not to create multiple layouts based on each plant. Try to create a Pagewindow in your layout which can hold PO header data.Based on your plant you can pass values through text elements to Pagewindow.You can simply write code for this in your driver program.

Note:Plz award points if is is helpful
