 Outputting Messages

Prerequisites

  • The message output queue must contain messages.

  • The purchasing documents represented by the messages must have been released (approved).

Note Note

You can either schedule a background job (RSNAST00), which processes the message queue at predefined intervals, or initiate outputting directly via the Purchasing menu (< Start of the navigation path Purchasing document Next navigation step > Next navigation step Messages Next navigation step Print/transmit) End of the navigation path or using the program RM06ENDR_ALV. As a rule, you will use the background job to output messages and only use the manual output facility in exceptional cases (e.g. rush orders).
