hi,

output type :Specifies the kind of output to be produced, it is common in forms

Condition type : The condition type indicates, for example, whether, during pricing, the system applies a price, a discount, a surcharge, or other pricing elements, such as freight costs and sales taxes. For each of these pricing elements, there is a condition type defined in the system

Thanks

Hi amit,

SCN is not a place to ask Interview Questions. But you can get answers if you Search the Forum.

so don't post this type of questions again.

Read the [Rules of Engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] before posting more.

Hi Karthik,

Thanks for your quick response but i didn't get any link which is showing differece between these two.

For your information i am working on a smartfrom that is specifically related with a Condition type not with Output type.

I'll be glad to know your input.

Have you tried to search before asking the question, is what Karthik appears to have asked?

This would also be consistent with the forum rules.

Please try to search first, and when you ask a question please indicate what you know already (or have already found via the search).

Thanks,

Output type and Condition type have no similarity.

Output type is used to determine the mode of communication; Print-out, Telex, Fax, External Send, Simple mail etc for an application.

An application can have various output types; for example V1 will have output types for Order, Quotation etc.

Further; the output type defines the Processing Routines and Forms which will be executed when the user choses the same from a transaction.

Example if the user while processing a PO; selects an output type and the medium say Print Output; the application will execute the processing routines and forms corresponding to the output type used.

Condition Type is related to pricing in SD; for example; price, discount, rebate, tax; all are different condition types.

To add; for an SD document the condition type will invariably come in to picture at an earlier stage than output type !! (ofcourse)

Hope it helps.
