This table will give the printing status of purchase orders etc. whenever there is a purchase order is created, one entry will go into this table with the printing parameters.

Even for Re-print (for ex thro ME9F transaction), one entry will be created in this table.

NAST is table stores all output types which are triggered from Transaction codes agaist the corresponding object numbers, application, condition types. All those values are automatically stored in NAST and will be avaiable while processing documents. You can check the include RVADTABL.

You can process those messages using RSNAST00 if they flaged for process using schedule program.

Widely you can use NAST table in the print programs of Scripts or Smartforms. Ofcourse, you can use this table in another application for different requirement.

Hi anoop,

1. NAST

2. This table stores

messages which are output

by various applications.

3. eg. PO is printed, etc

4. Programs like RSNAST

use this table to

scan it and

determine what has to be done furhter

for this mesage !

*----

---> how NAST table is filled?

1. NAST Table is used to Deposit/Collect Messages

produced by various applications.

(These messages can be used further,

to perform specific activities)

2. NAST Table is populated

from various standard Programs

(like migo, po, sales order etc)

via standard function modules.

The function modules INSERTS

a new record into the table

with appropriate information.

3. For further action,

program RSNAST00 is available,

which SCANS the NAST table

and appropriately calls

other function modules for further activity

(Based on the message type, application etc.)

*----

1. Not all print programs create a entry in NAST.

2. Based upon configuration some programs

for eg. PO Printing, Sales order printing

do create such entry

bcos it may be required as per business logic.

regards,

amit m.
