New outputs generated when changing logical system in output master record

[Former Member]

Hi!

We are sending documents from ECC 5 to a legacy system via XI/PI. We are about to move from an old XI installation to a new PI installation. The output record used (for example in a billing document) is set up based on logical system. When moving from the old to the new platform, we need to change the output records from the old logical syste to the new logical system. However this leads to generation of new outputs in all billing docs when opened in change mode. This goes also for billing docs where we already generated outputs via lthe old logical system in the past. Is there any solution to prevent the automatic generation of outputs for documents where the condition type already was successfully processed (as it works when the logical system is not changed)?

Best regards

Normally the same output is not supposed to be generated, unless 'Multiple issuing' checkbox is checked in the output type configuration.

Also you can probably add a requirement in the output determination procedure and check if output record already exists. Take a look at the standard 'Reprint' routine, kind of the opposite is needed in this case.

Thanks Jelena. I got the same suggestion (regarding reqirement) from a colleague and it worked when testing reading internal table xnast and only checking for the output type, not partner (i e logical system).
