Procedure documentationDefining Output Types Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Prerequisites

Archiving

An object type and a document type are needed for archiving. The object type is mostly predefined for the application, however in some cases it is dynamically transferred by the application to Message Control.

The document type is defined in SAP ArchiveLink Customizing. It is important that the object type used there is assigned to the document type.

The document type to be used can then be entered in the Storage system title of the message type The Storage mode selection field controls whether a message is outputted, stored or outputted and stored. The entry of a document type is only necessary in the last two cases.

Procedure

  1. You can select one of the two following alternatives:
    2.

    · Select the appropriate activity from Customizing in the relevant application

    · Use transaction NACE in expert mode. The following describes this alternative.

  2. Select your application and select Edit ® Output types.
  3. In change mode select Edit ® New entries. You can also define default values for the condition records in your new definition.
  4. Save your entries.

Example

The following diagram shows that for order messages the output type BA00 (order confirmation) was defined with condition access (that is to say the message determination is called). Here you can also determine whether specific processing times should be excluded. In addition, control parameters for message determination and exits (that can occur during message determination) are declared for the transmission media "Print" and "Mail" (SAPoffice).

Default values are declared for the condition record for output type BA00, for example transmission medium 6 (EDI). It makes no sense to create a communication strategy for this transmission medium. It makes sense for transmission medium 5: When creating a condition record for order acknowledgment, the communication strategy stored here would then be followed.
