Component: CA-GTF-OC (SAP S/4HANA output management), Version: 10, Released On: 26.02.2019

Symptom
SAP S/4HANA introduces a new style of output management. Output control serves as an interface between the business applications and the SAP NetWeaver technologies.

For SAP S/4HANA 1709 or a higher please check the standard documentation under help.sap.com.

For releases 1511 and 1610 this SAP Note provides you with an overview of the required customizing options.

Other Terms
Output management, output control, customizing

Reason and Prerequisites


Prerequisites:

1. The technical setup as described in SAP Note 2292571 has been completed.
2. SAP Note 2248229 has been implemented.

Solution
You can find the Customizing for output control under:

Transaction SPRO SAP Reference IMG -> Cross-Application Components -> Output Control

The following Customizing activities are available in release S4CORE 1.00:

1. Define Output Types


2. Define Business Rules for Output Determination
3. Assign Output Channels
4. Define Rules for Determination of Master Form Template
5. Assign Form Templates

Additionally, the following Customizing activity is available as of release S4CORE 1.01:

1. Manage Application Object Type Activation

You can find the documentation with the respective Customizing activity.

Where to start?

SAP delivers standard settings for each activity. Hence, it is not required to perform any customizing if these settings fit your needs or you just want to start validation.

Manage Application Object Type Activation (S4CORE 1.01 and higher only)

With this Customizing activity you can enable or disable output control for SAP S/4HANA per business application. Note that it depends on the individual business application if this is
supported.

Applications not listed in this activity might have another way to enable the respective other supported framework, for example, by implementing a SAP Note. For these applications,
refer to the corresponding simplification item.

Define Business Rules for Output Determination

This is the central Customizing activity. Here you can define how the system determines output parameters for a specific business document. It is comparable to "Output
Determination Using the Condition Technique" in the SAP Business Suite.

Prerequisite to use this activity is to implement SAP Note 2248229.

Direct access via transaction OPD

Assign Form Templates

This Customizing activity is mandatory for all custom forms.

Forms maintained here can be used for output determination and for manual output items.

Define Rules for Determination of Master Form Template

You only need this Customizing activity if you use PDF-based print forms with fragments. See SAP Note 2292681 for more information on master form templates (fragments).

For more information on how to create rules for the master form templates, see the documentation in the Customizing. Part of each rule is the content assignment to the
corresponding elements of the master form template. You can assign logos created via transaction SE78 and texts created via transaction SO10 by assigning their IDs.
Please note that currently, only plain text can be used. All other formatting done in transaction SO10 will be lost. If you need special formatting, implement it in the form template.

 Direct access via view APOC_MV_SFORM_PA

Assign Output Channels

This Customizing activity is completely optional. For more information, see the Customizing documentation.

Direct access via view APOC_C_CHANNELV

Define Output Types

You only need this Customizing activity if the output types delivered by SAP do not fit your needs. Please be aware that most of the requirements, like having a separate form for
different scenarios, no longer require a new output type to be set up (as it is the case with NAST). Such cases can now be configured in the activity "Define Business Rules for
Output Determination". We strongly advise you to check your options in this activity before creating new output types.

A new output type always requires the implementation of an output type-specific callback class. We strongly recommend consulting before starting this activity.
