 Purchasing info record stores information on material and vendor, supplying that material.

For example, a vendor’s current price of a particular material is stored in info record.
 Purchase info record can be maintained at the plant level or at the purchasing organization
level.
 Info record can be maintained for four procurement types, which are as follows −
o Standard − Standard info record has information on standard orders (orders include
details of vendor and material). This info record will include vendors price for
supplying the particular material.
o Subcontracting − Subcontracting info record has information on subcontract
orders. This info record will include price for assembling the raw material that is
supplied by the ordering party.
o Pipeline − Pipeline info record has information on material that is provided by
vendor through pipes. For Example: like water,electricity.
o Consignment − Consignment info record has information on material that is kept at
ordering party premises. This info record contains vendors price that is to be paid
for withdrawing material from consignment stock.

Output Determination Using Condition Technique

Purpose
This wiki page will discussion about one of the basic function for output in SAP Sales and Distribution knows as Output
Determination.

Overview
Outputs are an essential media of communication with various business partners & internal partner within the organization
during or for sales processing. These output can be either be taken as print on paper or generated PDF files or sent by
mails/electronically. You can even restrict or allow the trigger of these output.

Output determination using condition technique majorly defines 3 functions:

1. Automatic determination of output in respective object.
 2. Processing of output based on some events.
3. Respective parameter/medium for print.

So, output types are assigned to

 Partner functions,
 Transmission media and
 Dispatch time.

You need to co-ordinate with ABAPers for output processing program and form.

Output determination is carried out through condition technique in Sales and Distribution.

Application Keys Area

V1 Sales

V2 Shipping

V3 Billing

V6 Handling Units

V7 Transport

Types of Output

 Print Output,
 Fax,
 Telex,
 E-Mail
 EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)

Output Determination
Output is determined using condition technique.

Output can be determined from customer master, but it is recommended that Output in sales document through output
determination procedure(Condition technique). Output can be determined separately for Sales Document: Header and Sales
Document: Item level.

Unlike any other determination procedure getting determined through condition technique. The output determination also
involves,

 Condition Table
 Access Sequence
 Condition Types
 Output Determination Procedure
 Output Determination Procedure Assignment
 1.) Condition Table
TCode V/57

SPRO Path IMG - SD - Basic Function - Output Control

- Output Determination using Condition Technique
- Output Determination for Sales Documents
- Maintain Condition Table

You have to define combination of fields for which you want condition records in condition tables of output. Provided existing
standard condition tables does not meet your requirement. In case of new condition table enter name of condition table, the
number of table must be starting from 900. Select the fields for table from allowed fields and generate new condition table.

2.) Access Sequence

SPRO Path IMG - SD - Basic Function - Output Control
- Output Determination using Condition Technique
- Output Determination for Sales Documents
- Maintain Access Sequence

You have to define new access sequence by copying existing one and change to your requirement, provided standard
access sequence does not meet you requirement. It is search strategy which system uses to find out condition records
stored in condition tables for condition types. Unlike pricing, all output type has access sequence. Therefore, you maintain
output condition record for all output types.

3.) Output Types

TCode V/30

SPRO Path IMG - SD - Basic function - Output control

- Output determination using condition technique
- Output determination for sales documents
- Maintain Output Types

You have to define new Output types by copying existing one and change to your requirement, provided standard output
type does not meet you requirement.

 Languages of Output
 Print Program: print specification
 SAP Script: layout
 Partners (to whom you need to send output)
You need to mention Partner function wise Output type.

3.1.) Assign Output types of Partner Function

SPRO Path IMG - SD - Basic Function - Output Control

- Output determination using condition technique
- Output determination for Sales documents
- Assign Output type to Partner Function
Here you assign Output types to desired Partner function like SP/SH/PY etc.. Generally that would be the intent recipient of
that output type.

4.) Maintain Output Determination Procedure

SPRO Path IMG - SD - Basic function - Output control
- Output determination using condition technique
- Output determination for sales documents
- Maintain Output determination procedures

You have to define new Output determination procedure by copying existing one and change to your requirement, provided
standard output determination procedure does not meet you requirement.

5.) Assign Output Determination Procedure

TCode V/43
Assign Output determination procedure to Sales document header level

TCode V/69
Assign Output determination procedure to Sales document item category

SPRO Path IMG - SD - Basic Function - Output control

- Output determination using condition technique
- Output determination for sales documents
- Assign Output determination procedures

You need to assign output determination procedure to Sales document. You may assign as per your requirement Header
level and item level.

Similar steps could be followed for output determination for Sales activities and Billing documents

Define Communication Strategy

SPRO Path IMG - SD - Basic Function - Output Control - Determine Communication Strategy

You need to create communication strategy, system should search for communication methods in case of transmission
medium 5.

Output Determination Level & Assignment in Sales

Output Determination - Delivery Document: Header assigned to Delivery Type

Output Determination - Level Assign to

Output Determination - Delivery Document: Item assigned to Delivery Item Category

Output Determination - Billing Document: Header assigned to Billing Type

Output Determination - Billing Document: Item assigned to Billing Type

Condition Record
Without or in absence proper condition record maintenance, the desired output type will not determine in relevant sales
document type. Therefore condition record is crucial in Automatic determination of output type.
