Explanation

In SAP message determination using the condition technique, sending new POs via EDI and changes via email requires three things to work together: the system must know which field changes matter (A), must have separate message types to route to different channels (C), and must be told to re-run message determination when a change occurs (E). Without flagging Price and Quantity as change-relevant (A), the system won't detect that a meaningful change happened. Without distinct message types for New vs. Change (C), there's no way to assign EDI to one and email to the other. Without the "New Message Determination Process for Change Messages" indicator (E), the system simply won't trigger a fresh determination when the PO is changed.

Why B is wrong: Condition records store output type, medium, and timing - not business fields like Price or Quantity. Those fields live in change-relevance configuration, not in the condition record itself.

Why D is wrong: Dispatch time 1 (periodic job) is one scheduling option, but it is not a prerequisite - the change message could be sent immediately or via another timing option. No specific dispatch time is mandated for this setup to work.

Memory tip: Think of the acronym ACE - Alert the system to relevant fields, Create separate message types, Enable new determination for changes. All three are needed before the system can intelligently split EDI (new) from email (change).
