SAP S/4HANA
What is S/4HANA Output Management?
The S/4HANA framework for determining and sending business document output, using BRF+ rules instead of NAST condition records.
It covers channels such as print, email, XML, and EDI, with Adobe Forms as the default form technology. Output parameters are determined through BRF+ decision tables configured per output type. Each application, such as billing or purchasing, may still use classic NAST output, so programs must test which framework each document uses.
