Hi there,

Looks like you have got trained in SAP & preparing for interviews. Here is the anwser.

After you get the requirements ffrom the client, you will do the analysis as to how you are going to fulfill the business requirements. Then you will prepare the the design giving the details what configs or developments you will make to fulfill the requirements.

When there is an ABAP development required, you will give the functional specs (specifications) to the ABAPer. In the specs you will clearly mention what is the requirement, what development is required, what ABAP prog has to be modified or created & you will also give the field mappings. Basing on the specs, ABAPer will do the development.

For eg: You have a requirement to create a new O/p type that triggers after PGI. You will 1st decide how the output should look like. Then you will decide what details should go into the printout. Then you will give the field mappings of all the details. Basing on these details, ABAPer will design the form layout. Using the field mappings you have given he will write the code to pull the data from those fields. Then he will write the O/p control program passing all the input values to trigger it after the delivery is PGI'ed.

In the O/p determination procedure, in the requirement routine you will have to write a code sothat the O/p is triggered after the PGI. So ABAPer will code that routine using the routines in VOFM. Then you will assign that requirement routine in determination procredure.

This is how it goes. Hope this clarifies. Good Luck.

Hi,

It totally depends upon the customer requirement my friend... there is no standard answer to this question... hope you understand... once your customer gives you the requirement you discuss with your ABAP'er to fetch those fields on your output...

Hi,

In general client will tell you to display fields in output.

E.g they want company logo and address in header of the order confirmation.

Based on this functional consultant will ask technical consultant to prepare script or smartform according to this.

In many cases ABAPers try to copy the existing script and create new script and they assign new script to existing standard print programm in NACE.

If standard print programm not fulfills the client requirements, then they create new print programm.

Layout of the script will be depends on client's requirement.

Goto NACE, click on application V1, choose output types select the BA00 output type and double click on processing routines here you find the print programm and script.

Now goto SE71 and enter script name and choose display. go to settings click on form painter, select the graphical form painter press enter. It shows you layout of script

Hi,

In case of output type/condition you will have to interact with your ABAP'er for the program which needed to be associated with the said output type. Then, once you get the requirement from your customer regarding the fields which he wants to be printed once the output is issued you need to provide this information to your ABAP'er so that he can add the logic accoordingly in the program. Then, you need to interact with your ABAP'er for the forms which are needed to be attached for the output type.

I hope you have got the idea about the explanation now.
