You use this function to print billing documents and delivery notes on prenumbered forms.
You have:
Created or adapted condition records for the output types that you use for billing documents and delivery notes (see Creating Condition Records for SD Output )
Assign both condition records dispatch time 3, which will stop the output from being printed until you run the print program.
Set the posting block for the billing types that you work with
Normally, when you create a billing document, the system automatically generates a document in Financial Accounting (FI) with all the relevant postings. Where prenumbered forms are used, however, the system must not generate an FI document until you have printed out the billing document, the reason being that a billing document does not become legally binding until you print it out. To prevent the system from creating an FI document immediately you create a billing document, you set the posting block for the billing document types concerned (see Billing Document Types with Automatic Block ).
The main use of this function is to print billing documents and delivery notes on prenumbered forms . When you print out a document on a form, the system records its official document number in the document header.
If you damage a form that you have used, you can reprint the document on another form. The system changes the official document number assigned to the document and marks the old form as void – all documents need to be accounted for.
Finally, if you print out a document and it is assigned to the wrong form (for example, if you put the wrong lot in the printer), you can change the document's official document number .
