possibility to create a custom field in BP master data and use at output parameter determination?

[KuM]

I would like to only send invoice by e-mail for selected customer.

Is there a possibility to create a custom field in business partner master data like a check box field "invoice by e-mail" and then use this custom field as decision condition in output parameter determination?

Hello Kumiko,

Use extensibility to add custom fields in the BP it is possible. Use extensibility to add additional selection criteria in output parameter determination is also possible. However, it will not be an easy task.

To send invoices by email for some customers and print them for other customers is a common request. You can use the standard features in Output Management to meet that need. For example, instead of accessing the BP transaction to flag the check box that you want to create, you could access Output Parameter determination and add that Customer to receive emails.

Many thanks Jose, yes we do already use the output parameter determination app to send to certain BP. Unfortunately we encountered an warning/error message saying "Range definition contains more lines than shown" and we cannot really further maintain the additional new BP who needs invoice to be sent by e-mail. Therefore I'm seeking for different option.

Warning message number is FDT_WD_SERVICE131. So I would like to try the custom field solution, which you described not an easy task. Do you have any reference/KBA that I can refer to?

Hello Kumiko,

Here is one of the Possible solution we can Implement to send email to the selected customers.

1. Create Custom field in Business Partner using the Context - Master Data - Business Partner.
2. Create Custom field in Billing Document Header in the Business Context - Sales: Billing Document and enable the same in the UI and reports - Billing Document Output Management: Parameter Determination.
3. Implement Billing Document BADI to read the value from the customer master and pass the same to the Billing Document custom fields.
4. Add the custom field in the Output parameter determination app under the determination step - channel to trigger the emails for the selected customers.

Please check and let me know if any clariifcations required.
