Output Type 

Definition

An output type (or also a "condition type") summarizes messages of the same meaning. It contains parameters that are valid for all its assigned messages, for example appropriate partner functions.

BA00 (order confirmation), MAIL (internal message), KRML (credit limit exceeded)

Use

For each transmission medium, one form routine in a program is assigned to the output type. This form routine is called for processing the message (message status record).

For transmission medium 7: SAPoffice mail you can assign the output type title and text of mails which are used as default values in the condition records, that is to say, in the messages.

Integration

Output types come after procedures in the condition component hierarchy. One access sequence (next hierarchy level) is assigned to the output type. In addition, one or more condition tables (last hierarchy level) can be assigned to an access sequence.
