Repeat Delivery Output

Former Member — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 15:32:23 GMT

Hi,

I would like to repeat output of a delivery header using a BDC. To do this I use a BDC to copy the first line in the table control in screen Delivery:Output and press the button repeat output. But what if no line exists there in the table control to repeat the output.

1. Is there a way I can determine the output mediums of a delivery (any table or function module??), in this way if there exists no output medium I can simply skip repeating the output.

2. Is there a BAPI that can help me repeat the output of delivery header.

Hello Grame

In order to repeat (mass) delivery output I use transaction VL71.

For this transaction you could generated two versions of BDC or, even better, eCATTs:

- one version where processiing mode = '1' (= initial output)

- one version where processing mode = '2' (= repeated output)

Now you could simply combine the two eCATTs in the way that if the first one (mode = 1) fails (-> message "No messages for initial processing exist") then excecute the second eCATT (mode = 2).

You may check table NAST in advance for existing records but then you need to know the output type.
