Use

In this step, you define the output types for output type records.

The output type represents different output, such as quotations, order confirmations, and delivery notes in the SAP System.

To define an output type, make the following entries:

  • Output type

    alphanumeric key with up to 4 characters to identify the output condition

  • Access sequence

    access sequence key

  • Description

    text describing the output type

  • Detailed data (only the most important data is listed here):
    • Output type
      • one-digit, numeric key which defines the type of output processing (for example, printout, message sent by telefax or mail)
    • Time
      • one-digit, numeric key which defines the time of output processing (for example, immediately when saving a document or during the next selection run)
    • Partner function
      • partner function for defining the recipient of an output in the sales & distribution document
    • Condition access
      • indicator which controls whether the output is to be proposed using the condition technique
      If you do not set the indicator, the system finds the output using the proposal in the customer master record. However, you must first set the corresponding defaults for output determination from the customer master record.
    • Print parameters
      • One-digit, numeric key which defines the requirements on the basis of which the print parameters are defined (see the section "Define print parameters").
    • Archiving mode
      • This field controls whether a document is only printed, only archived or both printed and archived.
    • Archiving object type
      • This field identifies the archived outputs and determines whether it is an invoice, quotation, etc. The archiving object type of the incoming document begins with SDI, the archiving object type of the outgoing document begins with SDO.

Note

The values entered for output type, time and partner function for the detail data are automatically transferred as default values when creating a condition record by output condition.

SAP recommendation

  • To create a new output type, copy a similar access sequence in the system and make the necessary changes.
  • If you define your own output types, the key should begin with the letter Y or Z as SAP reserves these name conventions in the standard SAP R/3 System.

Actions

  1. Check to what extent you can use output types contained in the standard SAP R/3 System, and to what extent you must change them.
  2. Define output types for all SD documents.
