SAP Sales and Distribution Certification Practice Exam

In output processing, what must be done to include new document fields in an output?

1. Assign a new transmission medium to the output type

2. Enhance the form assigned to the output type

3. Update the access sequence in the output determination procedure

4. Create a new output type for each document category

The correct answer is: Enhance the form assigned to the output type

To include new document fields in an output, enhancing the form assigned to the output type is necessary. In the context of SAP Sales and Distribution (SD), outputs are typically generated using forms that define how the output appears, such as invoices or delivery notes. These forms are designed in tools like SAPscript or Smart Forms. When new fields are required in an output, the corresponding form must be modified to include these fields. This could involve adjusting the layout, adding new data elements, or changing the logic to pull in the additional information. Simply changing the transmission medium or creating a new output type may not adequately address the inclusion of new document fields, as they do not pertain directly to the content displayed in the output. Additionally, updating the access sequence is not relevant for adding new fields, as the access sequence determines how the system finds relevant output records rather than what is displayed in the actual output form. Therefore, enhancing the form is the critical step to ensure that new document fields are incorporated into the output correctly and displayed as needed.
