This feature allows users to customize the look and feel of their documents, as well as to ensure that the documents are compatible with other systems.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use OTF, users must first create an output type in the SAP system. This output type will define the format of the document, such as the font size, color, and layout. Once the output type is created, users can then select it when creating a document in SAP. The document will then be formatted according to the output type settings.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an output type, it is important to consider how the document will be used. For example, if the document will be printed or emailed, it may be beneficial to create an output type that is optimized for these uses. Additionally, it is important to consider how the document will be viewed on different devices; for example, if the document will be viewed on a mobile device, it may be beneficial to create an output type that is optimized for mobile devices.
