<\/span>Definition of SAP Output Management<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SAP Output Management<\/strong>\u202fis the generic term for various functions for the output of documents in SAP. It relates to two aspects: it is about \u201coutput\u201d, that is, the provision of various types of documents (invoices, orders, delivery notes, etc.) in various media forms. On the other hand, it is about \u201cmanagement\u201d, which means that the system manages all output functions to customers or employees completely automatically or in parts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SAP Output Management is a framework with two main technical components: output control and form generation technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The output control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The output control is the first part, which includes the output parameter determination and the output requirement. This is nothing more than customising when a specific document should be issued and to which recipients it will be sent via which channel. For example, an invoice is generated after goods have been shipped to a customer. It is stipulated in advance that the invoice will be sent to the customer by email immediately after the goods have been dispatched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Form generation technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The second central component is the form generation technology. There are different types of forms – for example sample forms, application forms or stand-alone forms. The term form here simply means, the document with its components. For an invoice, these are the invoice recipient, the company logo, the footer or the individual invoice items. The forms are generated automatically using specified technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
