 Print Profile Determination for Invoice Printout

Purpose

You can use this process to define print profile determination for invoice creation before goods issue in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). Here, every goods issue area can have multiple printers for various document types, for example, for freight lists, bills of lading, or invoices.

EWM always sends the print profile names for invoice printouts to ERP, irrespective of whether you print from ERP or from SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM).

Prerequisites

  • If appropriate, you have defined a print profile in the default values. To do so, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Delivery Processing Next navigation step Outbound Delivery Next navigation step Pickup. End of the navigation path Choose Default Values and enter a print profile.

  • If appropriate, you have implemented your own print profile determination in Business Add-In (BAdI) /SCWM/EX_DLV_PRINT_PROFILE. For more information, see the BAdI documentation.

  • If appropriate, you have defined one or more print profiles in Customizing for EWM.

    For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for EWM under Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Goods Receipt Process Next navigation step Inbound Delivery Next navigation step Print Next navigation step Define Print Profiles for Delivery Processing End of the navigation path and Start of the navigation path Goods Issue Process Next navigation step Outbound Delivery Next navigation step Print Next navigation step Define Print Profiles for Delivery Processing End of the navigation path .

  • You have defined print profile determination for the goods receipt process or goods issue process in Customizing for EWM.

    For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Goods Receipt Process Next navigation step Inbound Delivery Next navigation step Print Next navigation step DefinePrint Profile Determination for Goods Receipt Process End of the navigation path or Start of the navigation path Goods Issue Process Next navigation step Outbound Delivery Next navigation step Print Next navigation step DefinePrint Profile Determination for Goods Issue Process End of the navigation path .

Process

EWM attempts to determine the print profile in the following sequence:

  1. EWM checks whether you have specified a print profile in the default values on the user interface for pickup. If so, it uses the name of this print profile.

  2. If EWM cannot find a print profile in step 1, it checks whether you have implemented your own print profile determination in BAdI /SCWM/EX_DLV_PRINT_PROFILE. EWM uses the name of this print profile.

  3. If EWM cannot find a print profile in step 2, it checks whether you have defined a print profile determination for the goods receipt process or the goods issue process in Customizing for EWM. EWM uses the name of this print profile.

    You can define an access sequence for print profile determination. As a result, EWM considers one or more combinations of different parameters for the print profile, for example, goods receipt office, ship-to location, and warehouse number.

If EWM cannot determine a print profile, it does not send a print profile name to ERP.

If EWM requests a single print from CRM billing, CRM billing uses the print profile that EWM sends. EWM determines this print profile in the sequence described above.

If EWM requests a grouped print for multiple deliveries from CRM billing, EWM always sends the first print profile that is found by delivery processing.

For information about invoice relevance, the invoice printout, and invoice cancellation, see Invoice Creation Before Goods Issue .

Note Note

If you want to synchronize invoice printing with delivery note printing, you must ensure that EWM determines the printer for delivery note printing using a print profile (see Printer Determination in Delivery Processing ). This is because EWM only sends the print profile name to ERP and not the printer name.
