This IMG activity allows you to configure output control for transferring the deliveries to be planned to a transportation planning system.

Configuring output control is necessary for delivery documents which have undergone shipment-relevant changes since their first transfer to the planning system. It allows them to be automatically retransferred with the changed data.

Output type 'TPSO' and output procedure 'V10TPS' are available as copy templates in the SAP standard system for connecting external transportation planning systems.

Prerequisites

In order to activate output control correctly an output type needs to be assigned to a transportation planning point.

Activities

• Copy output type 'TPSO' with dependent entries to a new output type for your transportation planning system. Set the transmission medium to '8' and the dispatch time to '3' or '4'.
  
• Call up the configuration for the processing programs.
  Copy the processing program for output type 'TPSO' to your newly set-up output type.
  Save the configuration.
  
• Go to the configuration for the output procedures.
  Carry out the configurations that have been executed in the template procedure 'V10TPS' for output type 'TPSO' for your own output type in the required procedure. Please use the 'Shipping Output' procedure as a standard. The requirement should be set to '40'.

Note

If you only use one transportation planning procedure to which all deliveries should be transferred, you can leave the field for output procedure requirements empty. This means that a delivery is automatically transferred to your planning system immediately after being added. Otherwise you will have to call up transaction VT61 explicity in order to transfer a delivery for the first time.
