Outputting Messages 

Prerequisites

You can either schedule a background job (RSNAST00), which processes the message queue at predefined intervals, or initiate outputting directly via the Purchasing menu. As a rule, you will use the background job to output messages and only use the manual output facility in exceptional cases (e.g. rush orders).
