Output Determination

Output determination in sales and distribution allows you to control proposal using assignments and groupings in such a way that the system selects the output allowed in each sales transaction and carries out output processing according to predefined criteria.

In the SAP System there are two possible ways of controlling output determination for each output:

• proposal of output from the customer master record

• proposal of output using the condition technique

SAP recommends the output proposal using the condition technique. This is because it is much more flexible than taking the proposal via the customer master. For example, the condition technique makes it possible to determine the most suitable output from several different types of output.

Note

• Output control occurs seperately in the header and item levels.

• The proposal of output for sales support outputs can only be carried out using the condition technique.
