 Generating Output for Goods Movement

Use

When you enter a goods movement, you can proceed in one of two ways to generate output:

  • Generating Output Automatically

  • Entering Output Types Manually

Output is usually generated when a goods movement is entered. If you want to generate output for a goods movement that has already been posted, you can use the Change Material Document function to enter desired output types manually.

Generating Output Automatically

  1. From the Inventory Management menu, select the function for entering the desired goods movement.

  2. Set the Print via output control indicator by selecting it. This indicator activates the output determination function.

  3. Enter and post the goods movement. If an output type is available for this particular movement, it is generated automatically. Depending on the timing of the output defined, printout either occurs automatically or has to be requested manually (refer to Processing Output ).

Note Note

It is possible to maintain the Print via output control indicator as one of the parameters (parameter NDR ) in the user master record. When you do so, the Print indicator will be preselected on the initial screen. Enter the value X (capital letter) for this parameter.

End of the note.

Entering Output Types Manually

  1. From the Inventory Management menu, select the function for changing a goods movement (for example, Start of the navigation path Material Document Next navigation step Change End of the navigation path ).

  2. Check the individual items.

  3. To generate output for a particular item choose that item. To generate output for a collective slip, choose the first item.

  4. On the detail screen of the item, select Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step More functions Next navigation step Output End of the navigation path . A screen appears on which you can enter the output types manually. If the Print indicator is set, the system may already have determined one or more output types.

  5. Specify the desired output type (by entering the four-digit key) and the language. To specify the printer destination and other print parameters used for printout, select Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Communication method. End of the navigation path

  6. Select Back to return to the detail screen of the item.

  7. Post the document.

Result

When posting the goods movement, the system generates output of the specified output type. Depending on the timing of the output defined, printout either occurs automatically or has to be requested manually (see also Processing Output ).
