SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1:

This function module enables you send a new document including any existing attachments. The document and the attachments are transferred in the same table. They are created when sent and can also be placed in the sender's outbox.

It is necessary to distinguish between the document and its folder entries. The document itself only exists in the database once. It is a template for the folder entries and can be addressed via its object ID. Any number of folder entries can belong to the document. The folder entries contain the attributes of the document as well as some additional attributes relating to the folder entry itself. (Send priority and expiry date of the entry, for example.) Folder entries are created when a document is resubmitted, referenced or sent as well as when a new document is created.

SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

This function module enables you to send a new document, which has not yet been created, internally and externally. During the send process the document is created, along with the attributes and content that are to be transferred

SOST : You can track the mails which are fired from SAP system.

SCOT : Mail server and port configuration and its done by BASIS.
