Use

You can use the interface design to define characteristics as relevant to printing for sales or purchasing. In the print functions in these applications, only the characteristics selected in the characteristics group are printed.

Integration

This function is integrated in the print functions for purchasing and sales.

When you print documents in sales (order confirmations, deliveries, and billing documents) or in purchasing (purchase orders), configurable items and material variants are printed with their characteristics and the values assigned to the item.

Prerequisites

Your user master record contains authorization object C_LOVC_DSG with the activity that you want to perform.

The configuration profile contains a name for an interface design under Confign initial screen → UserInterf. This activates the function on the value assignment screen.

Activities

  1. Select the characteristics that are relevant to printouts.
  2. Choose Value assignment → Interface design → Characteristic grouping.
  3. Enter a name for your characteristics group.

    4. Enter the application where the characteristics are relevant to printing.

    4. In the interface design for characteristic value assignment, you can define how the characteristics are displayed.

  4. Save your characteristics group.

Note

If no characteristics group is maintained for a print-relevant item, all characteristics are printed with their assigned values. However, if a characteristics group for printouts exists, only the characteristics assigned to the group are printed in the sequence you define. In both cases, only characteristics with assigned values are printed. Characteristics that are hidden by object dependencies (such as structure SCREEN_DEP) are also printed, if they have assigned values.
