Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Name the steps needed for integrating customer-specific output types
Business Example
To optimize sales and distribution processing in your company, you have created a special material label (output type ZMAT) in the SAP system. The use of this new item text type “Additional label text”, output with the material label, should make it easier for the customer (retailer) to identify the delivered goods and assign them to the correct end customers.
Task 1:
Your colleagues in the programming department have informed you that programming has been completed for the output type ZMAT and is ready for testing.
1. Check whether output type ZMAT has been correctly configured in Customizing.
2. Which procedure contains ZMAT (ZMAT should be an item output for deliveries)?
3. Which access sequence is assigned to the output type?
4. Which processing program and form has been assigned?
Task 2:
Change the settings so that you can also use output type ZMAT for your shipping point Z0# without any problems.
1. Maintain the print parameters for your shipping point Z0##.
Shipping point: Z0##
Output device: LP01
Suffix1: ZMAT
Suffix2: MAT-LABEL

2. Create output condition records for your customers T-S50A## and TS50B##
for output type ZMAT:
SORG: 1000
Transmission medium: Printer
Time: Explicit request
Task 3:
1. Search for the order with purchase order number ##-2-4.3 and create an outbound delivery for it.
2. In the output screen for the item, check that the system finds and sets output type ZMAT. Use the determination analysis to clarify any problems.
3. If output determination is correct, save the delivery.
4. Print the label.
5. Look at the output generated in the spool.
