Procedure documentation Dispatching a Certificate Manually  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You can trigger the dispatch of a certificate for a delivery item manually. You can create the same certificate several times, if, for example, the customer needs additional copies. You must also create a certificate manually, if dispatch time 3 is defined for the recipient (print only on request).

Procedure

  1. Choose Logistics → Quality management → Quality certificate → Output → Certificate creation ® For delivery.

    2. The Quality Certificates for Deliveries screen appears.

    There are 4 sections on this screen. You can specify output data in the first area, for example output type (LQCA and LQCB) and transmission medium (print, fax and EDI).

    You can specify whether you want to output a certificate repeatedly. Certificates that have already been dispatched successfully can then be reprocessed. You can also try to recreate a certificate that could not be created successfully before.

    In the second section, you limit the selection of the output records using delivery data (for example, shipping point, delivery, delivery date, route and ship-to party).

    In the third area, you control the printer for the certificates using a print profile.

    In the third area, you can change certificate profile determination. If you enter a key date for certificate profile determination, this is considered for all selected output during certificate creation. You can use the Profile determination log indicator to understand the procedure the system uses to find the certificate profile. If you set the indicator, the general log for condition analysis is displayed for selected output before the certificate is dispatched.

  2. To start the selection process, choose Program ® Execute.

    3. If the system was able to find at least one output that corresponds with the selection criteria, a list of the corresponding delivery items is displayed. This list contains the delivery and item numbers, output type, transmission medium, partner function, and recipient data.

  3. In this list, you can display the output parameters by selecting the delivery item and then choosing Goto ® Communication.

    4. The system displays the output parameters (for example, printer parameters) defined for the certificate recipient. You can change these parameters.

  4. From this list you can see what the printed or faxed certificate will look like. Select a delivery item, and then choose Goto ® View. If the system cannot find all of the data, it displays an appropriate message. If several messages are created, they will be summarized in a dialog box.
  5. To start the certificate creation process, select the desired entries and then choose Edit ® Process.

    6. The system issues a message confirming that the certificate was generated successfully. If the system detects a problem, it issues an error or warning message.

  6. To display a log of the certificate creation process, choose Goto ® Log.

The log is updated continuously as long as you remain in this transaction. For example, if you create certificates for three different delivery items, there are three entries in the log. The information in this log is not identical to the system messages that you can call up by choosing Goto ® Preview.
