Dear Srini,

---> 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.)

Hope the above helps.

Regards,

Amit M.

Hi once again,

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.

Please reward points

if any of the above answers have

been useful.

i think it doesn't create entries but yes it will modify some field for the given record.

No srini,

It will create new entries for every time the print program has been triggered. The reason is that the NAST table has the fields ERDAT and ERUHR (Date and time) as the key fields which will not let modify a particular record. It will always create a new entry in NAST.
