Many times when we develop any output form (Smartform or SAPScripts) we need to save/download its output. In some cases like sometimes developer has to send the output to functional/user for testing or sometimes we need it for version comparison. To save form output normally we take print screen of output and save it in word document. But what if you know the trick to convert it into pdf format without code?
Many of us might know this trick to convert the form output into pdf. This article will let the new users know how they can convert the output to PDF format and save them on their desktop without any code. It’s always good & easy to maintain pdf files for output.
How to Do it?
1.Whenever you see pop-up for print, select print option button.
Be sure you uncheck the print immediately option. If you won’t un-tick it then it will print the page. We need to create spool
Fill parameters like Spool request name, Suffix 1, Suffix 2; this will create spool request with given names.
For some cases we directly get print screen like below. Uncheck the Print immediately button & check New Spool Request field. Also fill values for spool request name.
2.For case scenario 1 in above, Save the values and come back to print screen. Now print the output by clicking on or button.
3.Now go to SP02 to check the spool request. Note down the spool no.
4.Go to SE38 and run program RSTXPDFT4.
Give Spool request number and path to save file. (If you don’t give path here, automatically save as pop up will come; you can select file path and given file name.)
5.You can see file will get created with given name at given path.

This wiki page will discussion about one of the basic function for output in SAP Sales and Distribution knows as Output Determination.
Overview
Outputs are an essential media of communication with various business partners & internal partner within the organization during or for sales processing. These output can be either be taken as print on paper or generated PDF files or sent by mails/electronically. You can even restrict or allow the trigger of these output.
Output determination using condition technique majorly defines 3 functions:
1. Automatic determination of output in respective object.
2. Processing of output based on some events.
3. Respective parameter/medium for print.
So, output types are assigned to
- Partner functions,
- Transmission media and
- Dispatch time.
You need to co-ordinate with ABAPers for output processing program and form.
Output determination is carried out through condition technique in Sales and Distribution.

Output Determination

Output is determined using condition technique.
Output can be determined from customer master, but it is recommended that Output in sales document through output determination procedure(Condition technique). Output can be determined separately for Sales Document: Header and Sales Document: Item level.
Unlike any other determination procedure getting determined through condition technique. The output determination also involves,
- Condition Table
- Access Sequence
- Condition Types
- Output Determination Procedure
- Output Determination Procedure Assignment
1.) Condition Table
TCode | V/57 |
|---|---|
SPRO Path | IMG - SD - Basic Function - Output Control |
You have to define combination of fields for which you want condition records in condition tables of output. Provided existing standard condition tables does not meet your requirement. In case of new condition table enter name of condition table, the number of table must be starting from 900. Select the fields for table from allowed fields and generate new condition table.

2.) Access Sequence
SPRO Path | IMG - SD - Basic Function - Output Control |
|---|
You have to define new access sequence by copying existing one and change to your requirement, provided standard access sequence does not meet you requirement. It is search strategy which system uses to find out condition records stored in condition tables for condition types. Unlike pricing, all output type has access sequence. Therefore, you maintain output condition record for all output types.
3.) Output Types
TCode | V/30 |
|---|---|
SPRO Path | IMG - SD - Basic function - Output control |
You have to define new Output types by copying existing one and change to your requirement, provided standard output type does not meet you requirement.
- Languages of Output
- Print Program: print specification
- SAP Script: layout
- Partners (to whom you need to send output)
You need to mention Partner function wise Output type.

4.) Maintain Output Determination Procedure
