  • SAP Tcode: OID4 - Activate Print Diversion
    
    Overview:
    The SAP transaction code OID4 is used to activate print diversion in the SAP system. It allows users to divert print jobs from the printer to a spool file, which can then be printed at a later time. This is useful for large print jobs that may take a long time to complete. 
    
    Functionality: 
    The OID4 transaction code allows users to activate print diversion in the SAP system. This means that instead of printing directly to a printer, the print job is diverted to a spool file. The spool file can then be printed at a later time, allowing users to manage large print jobs more efficiently. 
    
    Step-by-step How to Use: 
    To use the OID4 transaction code, follow these steps 
    1. Log into the SAP system and enter transaction code OID4. 
    2. Select the printer for which you want to activate print diversion. 
    3. Enter the name of the spool file where you want the print job to be diverted. 
    4. Click “Activate” to activate print diversion for the selected printer. 
    5. Click “Save” to save your changes and exit the transaction code. 
    
    Other Recommendations: 
    When using the OID4 transaction code, it is important to remember that only one spool file can be used for each printer. Additionally, it is recommended that users test their settings before activating print diversion in order to ensure that everything is working correctly.
