Function documentation Printer and Form Determination in Transportation Management Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You can use printer and form determination to control which printer is used and which type of form is to be printed.

Features

Printer determination

You can use criteria to define which printer is to be used. If you do not define any criteria, the printer that you have specified in the user profile in your system is used automatically. Printer determination is the same for bills of lading and freight documents.

Form determination

For automatic printing, you can use criteria to specify which form, in other words, which Smart Form, is to be printed.

Example

You can print bills of lading based on the country of origin or country of destination, or in accordance with the CMR or VICS standard.

A separate form determination is available for freight documents and bills of lading.

Note

By default, form determination via the Structure linkPost Processing Framework (PPF) is used. In Customizing for Transportation Management, you can define the PPF action with a fixed form. To do so, choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Goods Issue Process  ®Transportation Management ® Basics  ® Define PPF Action Profiles and Define PPF Conditions.
