VL71 query

[Former Member]

hello everyone...

I created a sales order, created a delivery then went to transaction code VL71 to process the delivery. When I am done with VL71 i check in VL02N the output in delivery ouput/header then it displays 2 output one has a green status ( processed) and 1 has a yellow status ( not processed). Why is it that it has created 2 output where it should create only 1. This is the reason why there have been deliveries that was post goods issued, created billing but when you again check the VL71 this documents that was complete in process was still in VL71. Is it because of the output which has a yellow status? How will I make that the delivery i processed in VL71 only create 1 output.

Thank you very much for the help.

Hello,

I understand that you have 2 output types created, and for one output type when you open VL02N, you see the status as processed (green light).

Yet the other output type is still not processed (yellow light).

Can you try this?

With the same delivery document in VL02N you have trouble issueing, 'Extras > Delivery Output > Header' to display output setting screen.

Check the 'Date/Time' of the output it is not issued.

If 'Date/Time' is set as 4 (Immediate processing), then we have to consider other factors.

But if 'Date/Time' is set as 3(manual processing), then it is set that it doesn't process automatically. First you need to save the document (or do post goods issue) then you execute printout manually.

Let me know how your setting is customized.

Regards,

Takako

Hi Ysabella,

For your question on why the delivery is processed in VL71 when the invoice is already created for that, it is due to that output being Yellow in colour. You are correct in that.

As per your selection criteria, VL71 can even create one more output, even though the output is green in colour already ( for which Processing mode =2)

If VL71 is creating 2outputs, one of the following can be the reason.

1. Output condition records are maintained multiple number of times for the same output and the exclusion flag is not checked at the condition table level in the access sequence.

First create a delivery after switching off the output generation(without keeping any masterrecord for output). Now open the delivery in VL02N and check the output determination analysis. This will help you to solve the problem if any at master data level.

2. There can also be a problem in the code level. We had some problem at code level, which we could identify when we were debugging the output through RSNAST00 program. For this you can take the help of a technical guy.

Hope this clears your doubt.

Reward if this solves your problem.

Thank you very much for the information. VL71 is not creating 2 ouputs the 1st output which has a yellow status came from the delivery that i created. When i processed the delivery in VL71 it created another output which now has a green status. My question is this when processing the VL71 should it create another output for the specified delivery? Or is it the existing output which has a yellow status should be processed in VL71.

Thank you very much again for the help.

Hi

I have one question to u why u r using VL71 if u want to isue o/p at Header level.

VL71 Is used to issue o/p at item level . For header level u can very well use VL02N.

Regarding Green and Yellow singnals in O/P at header level it is not due to processing thru VL71 . Actually once the o/p is processed (i.e light become green )

second time either u have to repeat the same o/p (If u want to process it again) or u have to put the new o/p type and then again issue the same.

This has nothing to do with the Tcode VL71 .

Hope this is clear

Can you give me the difference of the delivery output – header versus item (what does this two do)? When are we going to use the header and when are we going to use the item?

Thanks again.
