Defining Output Types 

  1. You can select one of the two following alternatives:
  2. · Select the appropriate activity from Customizing in the relevant application

    · Use transaction NACE in expert mode. The following describes this alternative.

  3. Select your application and select Edit ® Output types.
  4. In change mode select Edit ® New entries. You can also define default values for the condition records in your new definition.
  5. Save your entries.

The following diagram shows that for order messages the output type BA00 (order confirmation) was defined with condition access (that is to say the message determination is called). Here you can also determine whether specific processing times should be excluded. In addition, control parameters for message determination and exits (that can occur during message determination) are declared for the transmission media "Print" and "Mail" (SAPoffice).

Default values are declared for the condition record for output type BA00, for example transmission medium 6 (EDI). It makes no sense to create a communication strategy for this transmission medium. It makes sense for transmission medium 5: When creating a condition record for order acknowledgment, the communication strategy stored here would then be followed.
