Function documentationOutput of Correspondence Request

 

The correspondence output run determines the correspondence requests that the correspondence tool has stored in the correspondence container and transfers them to the Print Workbench. You can determine which correspondence is to be included in a correspondence output run using application-specific parameters or parameters that you define.

Prerequisites

The correspondence requests are stored in the correspondence container.

Features

Using BAdI FKKCORR_EVENTS_OUTPUT, you adapt the output of correspondence to the requirements of the application. The interface IF_FKK_CORR_EVENTS_OUTPUT that is assigned to the BAdI defines a method that is run as an event during the Output of Correspondence with the Print Workbench.

For the output of a correspondence request, the method OUTPUT of BAdI event Output of a Single Correspondence Request is run. Fallback class CL_FKK_CORR_EVENT_OUTPUT_DFLT is assigned to the BAdI, which implements the BTE event concept. All existing and new applications that do not create their own implementation and do not have filter assignment for their application area use the BTE event concept.

The correspondence is output using a print program created by the Print Workbench. The data required for the creation of correspondence is provided either using references or direct by the correspondence container. You can prepare the layout with SAPscript, Smart Forms or PDF-based forms. You can prepare the output data for printing or transfer it as a raw data stream (RDI, XSF, XDF) to an external output management system (OMS). You can also send it as a fax, e-mail, or SMS.

The system makes the data available in the printer spooler in raw data format, OTF format, or PDF format. You can view the processing status (technical status) of a correspondence request in the Correspondence History.

Note Note

The correspondence tool provides only a simple program for the output of correspondence. The application is responsible for providing a parallel program for the output of correspondence that is adjusted to the requirements of each application.

End of the note.

Method OUTPUT (Output of a Single Correspondence Request) of fallback class CL_FKK_CORR_EVENT_OUTPUT_DFLT processes BTE 44011000. Standard module FKKCORR_STD_PRINT_44011000 is available for the BTE.

Standard module FKKCORR_STD_PRINT_44011000 is available for the BTE event concept. For information about how the application includes this correspondence tool event and how you use the functions, see the documentation for the correspondence of the specific application. The correspondence type-specific events (BTE, BAdI, event of FI-CA event concept) are as a rule processed in this event in order to output the correspondence that the print program calls.
