VF31 Sort Order configuration not working

[Former Member]

Hi

My users were running the VF31 themselves, sorting the document list by Name 1 and printing out in alpha order.

I have set up VF31 to run as a nightly background job to run so the documents are waiting on the printer for users at the start of business.  The problem is that the documents are no longer sorted in alpha order Name 1.

I have changed the config in the (VF31) sort order for '04' - Sort Fields 1-3

SPRO - Sales & Distribution - Basic Functions - Output Control - Output determination using the condition technique - Maintain output determination for billing documents - Maintain Output types.

I have selected my output type and configured the 'sort order' to

KOMKBV3-KUNRG - Payer

KOMKBV3-VKORG - Sales Org

KOMKBV3-VTWEG - Distribution Channel

I have also tried to fill in the first field only with KOMKBV3-KUNRG and no luck.

VF31 seems to ignore the config for sort order 04 and the document list still does not come out in order of the payer.

Can anyone help?

Hi

Just an update if anyone is wondering....

The problem has been solved. VF31 uses the NSAT table where the three sort order fields are held.  These fields were retrospectively blank in the NAST table because the sort order field config was blank.  Once I entered the config and created new billing documents the fields were populated in the NAST table and my VF31 sort function worked.  My original solution was not working because I had not created new documents to test.

Appreciate all your help in this matter!

Kind regards

Hi,

I think you need to add a new field (name 1) to the communication structure and fill it... check
