What is Output Determination?
Configuration determining which outputs, such as order confirmations and invoices, are produced and how they are sent.
Classic output uses NAST and the condition technique; S/4HANA Output Management uses BRF+ decision tables. Channels include print, email, EDI, and XML. Output content and routing are frequent UAT defects.
