What is Output proposal using the condition technique

Answer

Output is a type of media from a business to one of its business partners. The  media types may be  printouts, telexes, faxes, e-mails  or EDI. The process to  determine the  "media" is  Output determination.

The output can be sent to the business partners (Customer / Vendor)  in the format which is defined in documents such as invoices, order confirmations, delivery notes, or shipping notifications. Output determination can be maintained in two ways-
