  Output Determination in the Billing Document

Use

The system uses the output determination function to determine the output specific to the billing documents.

Example Example

The indicator Print invoice is selected in the billing document header. The system prints the invoice automatically on saving the billing document in accordance with the Customizing settings for output determination and the data in the condition record (output master data).

End of the example.

Integration

Like pricing, output determination is performed using standard tools provided with the SAP System ( condition technique , output control ). The condition technique provides the condition elements for customizing output determination. These are: field catalog for the application, output determination procedures, output condition types, access sequences and output condition tables.

You create condition records during master data maintenance for output determination. In addition to the access key, a condition record contains the concrete values that trigger output and the attributes of the output (transmission medium, partner, time).
