Controlling the Dispatch Time
Use
You can specify when a certificate should be dispatched. When processing a delivery, this is the point in time when the output "certificate" is processed. At this point, you must have already found the output for the delivery item or entered it manually.
You must specify the dispatch time for each certificate recipient. A default value is defined in Customizing under the output type.
If you want to create a large number of certificates, you should not create them directly in conjunction with the delivery posting (time option 4). Instead, you should create the certificates by using a separate transaction (time option 3; you can call up the transaction by selecting
Certificate creation
For delivery
on the
Quality Certificates
screen). If necessary, you can use a selection program that can also be run in the background (time options 1 and 2). Report RSNAST00 is available in the standard system for time options 1 and 2.
The output occurs: |

You can use the dispatch time to determine whether the certificate is dispatched automatically. For example, the certificate is dispatched directly after saving the delivery for time option 4 . For time option 2, you specify the date and time when the certificate should be dispatched. A background program prints the certificate at the specified time. For time option 1 , the certificate is dispatched when this program next runs. This could be a batch run that is triggered every night. You can define such a background job in Customizing. For time option 3 , you must manually trigger certificate creation by manually calling up the corresponding transaction.
