You will assign output types using Transaction NACE.

It doesnt come under any application. All the applications are defined here. You can write the conditions/procedures through routines.

u can get the output type and the associated program in table TNAPR.

Basically, output type define via transaction NACE are used mainly for document prints. They can be triggered via the document transactions through output messages (example for delivery note print, VL02n can be used etc). Hence in short, it is simple and easy way to issue document prints within the document.

Hi,

quite interesting question, but difficult to put it in nutsehll.

Definition

An output type (or also a "condition type") summarizes messages of the same meaning. It contains parameters that are valid for all its assigned messages, for example appropriate partner functions.

BA00 (order confirmation), MAIL (internal message), KRML (credit limit exceeded)

Use

For each transmission medium, one form routine in a program is assigned to the output type. This form routine is called for processing the message (message status record).

For transmission medium 7: SAPoffice mail you can assign the output type title and text of mails which are used as default values in the condition records, that is to say, in the messages.
