From the Implementation Guide, choose: Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Output Control -> Output Determination -> Output Determination Using the Condition Technique -> Maintain Output Determination for Billing Documents -> Maintain Output Types

For itemized invoices, define your output type as RDCN, for example.
Display the details of output type RDCN, and maintain the Default values tab as follows:

• Transmission medium: Print output

Select the dialog structure Processing routines and in group box Processing 1 make the following entries:

• Program: RVADIN01
• FORM routine: ENTRY
• Form: RVINVOICECN
