Hi all,
I know many people has raised this question. I have always thought that we could control different outputs for new and changed PO through using a different output type but upon configuring the changes in the system, I was not able to achieve that.
Requirements: To email PO when first created but to only print PO when it is changed subsequently. For testing purposes, I am using the same program and form. We have not started development of the form and program for email yet.
Configuration done to-date:
Use output type NEU for new PO output. I have removed entry for option 1(new) in fine tuning for this PO output.
Created a new output type ZPRN for printing changed PO and only maintained option of change (2) in fine tuning.
I have maintained output condition records accordingly (at document type level).
Define message schema to add in the new output type.
Testing to-date:
I created a new PO. Output type NEU is defaulted and I can output the PO via email.
I then changed the PO.
Problem 1: Upon saving I get a message telling me that there is no output message type generated.
I continued to save the PO. Am happy to manually add in the output type as printing is not always a must so we can workaround this.
Problem 2: In changed PO mode, I tried to add the changed output type ZPRN manually but the changed indicator was not ticked. Further testing shows that unless I have previously output with ZPRN as 'new' PO, I cannot output it as a 'changed' PO.
Am I missing any configuration? or have I always misunderstood what SAP can do?
Any clarifications on the above is greatly appreciated!
Regards
SF
