## Key Elements of the Condition Technique

The condition technique for output determination is built from the same components used in pricing. Understanding them makes configuration predictable:

- **Condition type:** The output itself, such as an order confirmation or invoice.
- **Access sequence:** The search strategy that finds a valid condition record.
- **Condition table:** The key fields, such as customer and document type, used in the search.
- **Output procedure:** The list of condition types assigned to a document.
- **Condition record:** The actual data that triggers the output and its medium.

## Best Practices for Output Determination

- **Prefer the condition technique:** Use it instead of the customer master for flexible control.
- **Set the correct medium and timing:** Choose print, email, or EDI and the right dispatch time.
- **Maintain partner functions:** Direct each output to the correct partner.
- **Test with real documents:** Verify output on a sample invoice or order confirmation.
- **Reuse standard types:** Copy standard output types rather than building from scratch.
