You can use output control to automate either messages or subsequent processing of partner-specific messages"

This means, it provides a method for you to perform subsequent processing once a document is saved in the system. This subsequent processing is normally to print the document, but can also include activities such as:

- Faxing the document

- Emailing the document

- Sending an idoc of the document

- Sending an EDI message for the document (via an Idoc)

- and so on.

In general, it uses the condition technique to determine what, if any, output is to be produced. The condition technique works by selecting key fields from the document (document type, plant, etc.) and matching them to master data records you have previously set up. If there is a match, then output is produced.

Hi,

Output determination is just nothing but to determine what has to be done after the document is save or posted.

Either it has to be a printed out or fax or EDI etc.For that you have to create an output type and assign it to the application.You have to specify the medium (print, fax etc) in the output type itself.
