How to Control the Spool Creator

[Former Member]

Hi EHS Experts,

I have noticed that the person who creates the job is also the one who creates the spool and I believe this is the standard behavior. In SD_CALL, how do we control that the person who creates, say the outbound delivery, should also create the spool? Please see further illustration below:

Currently:

USER ID who creates the outbound delivery - AAA

USER ID who creates the job - BBB

Spool created after creation of outbound delivery by AAA is for BBB.

The desire should be:

USER ID who creates the outbound delivery - AAA

USER ID who creates the job - BBB

Spool created after creation of outbound delivery by AAA is for AAA.

Thanks in advance for your expert advise.

Kind regards,

Hi Mark,

My Answer is yes, every user can manage his or her own spool and output requests through output controller. you can call the output controller with transaction SP01 or by choosing System → Services → Output Control. (check here in your scenario)

FYI you require the corresponding authorizations from your administrator. 

Call the output controller in the following cases

You have sent a print request, but did not select print out immediately.

1) In this case, the system creates a spool request and stores it temporarily. It only sends an output request to the printer when you release the spool request for printing from the output controller.

2) You want to check whether your output request has already been printed.

More information about spool out put control keep an eye on in the below link.

Thank you Edward. The requirement is to print immediately the document once it creates spool in SP01. Please take note that there should be no user intervention here. It's like once the status reaches SENT-AC, the document is automatically printed and comes out from the printer. Since this is 'print immediately' using the SD_CALL, the spool created for every SD_CALL transaction should be assigned to the person who creates the outbound delivery. As per my observation, this is not the case because even if there are several users with different user ids who create the outbound delivery, still the user id of the person who created the job appears as the creator/initiator of the spool. Please see below further illustration for the business requirement:

Creator or outbound delivery - AAA

Spool created in SP01 should be for AAA and not the creator of the job (BBB).

Kind regards,

Mark
