NEU output type

[sandeep_pv]

All,

I have 2 companies and one plant each for each company.

I have one Pur Org for both plants .

Pur Groups are common .

One buyer from 1st plant will raise PO for 2nd plant also .

Vendors also will be common .

The key combination for output type 'NEU' is :

1) Purch Org/Vendor for EDI

2) Doc type/Purch Org/Vendor

3) Document type

1.Now How I will be able to make condition records for the print out .?

2. How I will attach the printer for different buyers of different plants ?

Kindly advise.

regards

Hi,

Printer can be assigned at purchasing group in SPRO.

You can not create conditions for combination with plant.

As you have mentioned we can maintain the key combination for output type 'NEU' is :

1) Purch Org/Vendor for EDI

2) Doc type/Purch Org/Vendor

3) Document type

Better you create different purchasing group for different plant.

Hi Sandeep

In you case, you just need to assign printer to purchasing groups as suggested by Manish. Anyway, the same buyer is creating POs for both the plants and hence you can assign printer to buyer (purchasing group). Define it in IMG:

Spro->MM->Messages->Assign output devices to purch.grp

Do not get confused with the key combination for output type 'Neu'. This is used to default message type when you create PO. Ofcourse, you could also potentially assign a printer in this condition record. If you want to setup printer in this config by purchasing group/plant, then do the following (Remember I am strongly against using a item level field like Plant in this setting...but if a requirement is there):

1) Spro->MM->Messages->Condition tables-Define condition table for PO. Create a new condition table 502. When you double click on document type, purch grp, plant fields, they will appear in selected fields. Generate this table (you will need package...ask your ABAPer/Project Mgr for this).

2) Define access sequence

Include the table as an access in access sequence 0001.

3) Now you can use this new key combination also.

Best regards

Ramki,

One simple question .

If I am giving 'LOCL' as printer name and taking the print out , print will come in the printer which is default in the computer .

This is possible . Whether this is a good practise .?

For time being this option can be given ?

Kindly advise.

Hi ,

This is allowed .

But have checked in SU3 . There also you can define defaults printers for users.

Thanks

If you have large number of users printing using LOCL, you may face spool queue related problems. Check with your Basis expert
