Use

When you start the distribution, you can define whether a check for the output of the originals is supported. This check is useful, for example, if the original application files are to be printed on a printer using distribution type PRT. In this case, you must check whether the printer really has printed the data, and then you must confirm this in the distribution log.

Note Note

At the same time, the person who initiated the distribution, or the distribution point, receives a work item in their inbox. This work item shows that the person responsible has to check the output of the package. All the part orders in the package are displayed when this task is performed in the SAPoffice inbox. You must execute the Confirm output function.

End of the note.
