attaching output types to Tcode

[Former Member]

hi everyone,

can any one please tell me the settings for attaching output type which we give in NACE that must be attached to ME21N that means when ever a PO is created that must be printed or e-mailed...... what ever it may be, according to the output type given in NACE for all PO's,instead of creating message type for every PO in ME21N.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

3>Then Click On Output Types

4>You Can Create new Entries There by clicking The change Button-->New Entries or select existing one(NEU)

5>Click On Processing Routines.

hi sandipan,

Thanks for responding , actually i had done what u said but after that saving we have to assign that output type to a Tcode . so that when we create a PO that can be directly send to output by clicking on printpreview icon in ME21N. How to do those settings?

Hi srinath,

if you click on print preview of some PO one SAPScript or Smartform will be displayed.

They are internally linked with each other.

So You just do one thing

Select NEU

Double click on processing Routines,

Then if Smartform

Give <Your Smartform> in the column PDF/Smartform Form in Print Output Row

or

If it is a SAPScript Give <Your SAPScript> in the column FORM

Save it. Go to me21n. Create One PO an Click Print Preview. It will Display Your Form.

hi sandipan,

i had done already ,what you said .but, its not displaying when i click on print preview .generally for VA01 what we do is after configuring the NACE we will come to VA01 in extras->output->header->edit in that if u give the output type and enter all the details will come accordingly what we have done in NACE and if you u want to print the sales order go to VA02 in menu click on salesorder you will find issue-to-output and click on it,you can select what ever the output type you want. in this way you can attach the output type to a Tcode . so ,in that manner how can we do for ME21N .for ME21 we can do by going to header-> messages .but this is not working for ME21N. now can u tell me how to link the output to ME21N ,so that it is not necessary to create the output type for every PO by the user.

hi check this simple code for email,

report zrich_0003 .

data: maildata like sodocchgi1.

data: mailtxt like solisti1 occurs 10 with header line.

data: mailrec like somlrec90 occurs 0 with header line.

data: list type table of abaplist with header line.

data: ascilines(1024) type c occurs 0 with header line.

data: htmllines type table of w3html with header line.

start-of-selection.

submit <zreport> exporting list to memory and return.

call function 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'

tables

listobject = list

exceptions

not_found = 1

others = 2.

call function 'LIST_TO_ASCI'

tables

listobject = list

listasci = ascilines

exceptions

empty_list = 1

list_index_invalid = 2

others = 3.

call function 'WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT'

tables

html = htmllines

listobject = list.

clear: maildata, mailtxt, mailrec.

refresh: mailtxt, mailrec.

maildata-obj_name = 'TEST'.

maildata-obj_descr = 'Test Subject'.

loop at htmllines.

mailtxt = htmllines.

append mailtxt.

endloop.

mailrec-receiver = 'you@yourcompany'.

mailrec-rec_type = 'U'.

append mailrec.

call function 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'

exporting

document_data = maildata

document_type = 'HTM'

put_in_outbox = 'X'

tables

object_header = mailtxt

object_content = mailtxt

receivers = mailrec

exceptions

too_many_receivers = 1

document_not_sent = 2

document_type_not_exist = 3

operation_no_authorization = 4

parameter_error = 5

x_error = 6

enqueue_error = 7

others = 8.

• This will trigger the send process in SAPconnent

• submit rsconn01 with mode = 'INT'

• with output = 'X'

• and return.

hi here is another example ,

1. We can send files with attachment.

However, There is some trick involved

in the binary files.

2. I have made a program (and it works fantastic)

ONLY 6 LINES FOR EMAILING

BELIEVE ME

ITS A FANTASTIC PROGRAM.

IT WILL WORK LIKE OUTLOOK EXPRESS !

3. The user is provided with

a) file name

b) email address to send mail

and it sends ANY FILE (.xls,.pdf .xyz..)

Instantaneously !

-

4. Make two things first :

1. Include with the name : ZAMI_INCLFOR_MAIL

2. Report with the name : ZAM_TEMP147 (any name will do)

3. Activate both and execute (2)

4. After providing filename, email adress

5. Code for Include :

hi venkat,

Thanks for giving reponse. your answer is very helpful. but , i want , when i click on printpreview icon in ME21N Tcode , i must select any one of that which i selected as output types in NACE transaction.generally after giveing the output types in NACE we will assign it to ME21N Tcode .i need how to assign that output types to ME21N Tcode.

[Former Member]

Hello,

In transaction NACE when you create output condition record, set the Dispatch time to '4' (Send immediately (when saving the application)). So depending upon the medium (print, fax, EDI, ALE, Email etc.), output will be generated and sent on saving the document.

Thanks,

Venu
