Lesson: Print Control, Standard Documents and


Prerequisites (Overview)
Lesson Overview
This lesson provides you with an overview of print control, standard documents,
and further prerequisites for printing shop floor papers.

Lesson Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

Describe the available control options and variants for printing production
documents

Business Example
As production scheduler, it is your task to transfer the worklist to the work
center in your area of responsibility. As soon as the worklist is to be given to the
employees in the form of printed shop floor papers, you must use the printing
functions of the SAP ECC system component.
The shop floor papers are often created in the form of a mass print job that is
processed in the background. This is usually carried out at night for the following
day. However, you may also need to print or reprint individual papers.

Overview of the Standard Documents

Figure 84: Overview of Document Printing

You can print production order documents online, in the background, or during
updating (status update).
You can control printing in various ways:

Directly (collective printing)


While processing the production order
Using a program (job)
Using the mass processing function (see the relevant unit).

Document printing can be triggered automatically when the order is released


using the production scheduling profile.
Print formatting is carried out by ABAP reports or PDF-based print programs
from internal buffer tables (ITAB).
You predefine the forms for the individual documents using SAPSCRIPT- or
PDF-based forms (form group PSFC).
SAPscript provides two editing tools (graphic and alphanumeric) for designing
forms. For documentation about the SAPSCRIPT form painter, see the SAP
Library under:
Help SAP Library
and by choosing

Figure 85: List Types for Order Documents

The standard system provides a variety of lists.


These lists are compiled by list-specific reports.
The user can generate additional lists.
For each order, a maximum of 20 lists may be called up.
You use the document distribution to plot document originals.

Lesson: Print Control, Standard Documents and Prerequisites (Overview)

Overview of Print Control

Figure 86: Print Control

The system differentiates between two print modes: Original print and reprint.
With original printing for an order, all released operations and their objects
(material components, PRT and so on) are printed.
When the original print of an order has been partially carried out, the system
automatically prints only those objects for the order that have not yet been printed.
Reprinting an order reprints all operations that have previously been printed.
You can maintain the settings in Customizing. The settings marked (x) are
plant-dependent and therefore need to be taken into account when the system is
installed.
You can mask the arguments for the table settings (exceptions: Print variant
and reference document type).
You can condense numerous external order types into a single internal order type
using a reference order type to enable joint control of order types (reports, forms,
transactions, and output devices).
Some changes to settings can be made even upon printing.
The Customizing settings that are valid for a user and a transaction can be
controlled using the report PPCO85EI.

Figure 87: Printing Operations

The operation control key determines the print output of an operation. You can
deactivate operation control checking in Customizing.
An operation is only printed if the Print switch has been activated in the operation
control key. This switch decides whether the operation receives the status PRINT.
Time tickets are only generated for operations under the following conditions:

Operation control key Print has been activated


Operation control key Print Time Ticket has been activated
The number of time tickets is greater than 0

Confirmation slips are only generated for operations under the following
conditions:

220

Operation control key Print has been activated


Operation control key Print Confirmation Slip has been activated
The operation control key for confirmations = 1, 2 or blank
The number of completion confirmation slips is greater than 0

Lesson: Printing Production Orders


Lesson Overview
In this lesson you will learn about the procedures for printing shop floor papers.

Lesson Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

Apply the print functions

Business Example
Order papers can be printed in dialog, through mass processing, and in the
background (job management). You will likely use all of these options in practical
operations.

Exercise 16: Printing Order Documents


Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:

Print shop floor papers

Business Example
As production scheduler, it is your task to transfer the worklist to the work center
in your area of responsibility. If the worklist is to be given to the employees in
the form of printed shop floor papers, you must use the printing functions of the
SAP ECC system component.
The shop floor papers are often created in the form of a mass print job that is
processed in the background. The print job is usually performed at night for
the following day. However, you may also need to print or reprint individual
documents.

Task 1:
1.

Open an unreleased order for material R-F1## for the following exercises.
Order number: ___________________

2.

Check the individual operations and record the following data:


Legend: TT = Time ticket, CS = Confirmation slip
