Hello!

You can view/extract the XML format of an output form for PO using app Change Purchase Orders - Advance, via the 'Messages' output screen.

Add a new output item and edit the Print Queue to #&&DOWNLOAD_FORM_DATA_XML&&# and then use display document button to show the XML data.

To highlight best practices around this #&&DOWNLOAD_FORM_DATA_XML&&# method to extract XML data, you may refer to below pointers:

• This works only for applications that have included the standard output control reuse screen in edit mode (for example, Manage Billing Documents, Change Sales Orders -VA02, Change Billing Documents, Change Purchase Orders - Advance, etc).
• This works only for output items in status 'In Preparation'.
• The XML always returns the current data of the underlying business document.
• Does not work for duplicates.
• The XML does not include data from the master form template.
• An output with print queue #&&DOWNLOAD_FORM_DATA_XML&&# is not possible.
• Print queue #&&DOWNLOAD_FORM_DATA_XML&&# cannot be used in output parameter determination.
