Hi Reetha ,

This is a functional setting , and should be done by some functional guy. The setting can be done by NACE.

Just follow the path : NACE - > Select V3 for Billing - > Press Output type Button Just above - > Assign Output Type and

then Assign Output program and form in PROCESSING ROUTINE comes into left. Set this output type for immediate print.

Whenever You create a billing document by BAPI with this document type , the print out will be fired immediately.

Hope it will solve your problem.

Thanks.

Hello, the document you've referred to [Output Type|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/ProcessOutputtypesthroughprogram] has been extremely helpful.

However I still need to figure out how to create a message (text + recipient) and link it to the output type (through customizing is okay but I need to do this programmatically because email address and text vary from order to order)...record creation in NAST is okay but the message creation (text + recipient) is still missing.

This sounds very much like the requirement you had. How did you manage to implement it?

Cheers
