Hi Chandran,

Here is an easy way of doing this...

1) Create a normal workflow step (not the standard one that we normally use for mailing).

2) Inside the step, program a task (using business object methods).. this method can have the code for sending mail. (Function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 can be used to send mails)

Please let me know if you run into problems...

Hi Arun,

Thanks a lot,

Kindly let me know whether we have to create our custom Business Object and embed in to it or is there any Standard Business Object with method available that will trigger this function module.

Can you please eloborate it little more.

Thanks in Advance.........

Hi Chandran,

I have found another way of doing this.

Use the standard mail step. Note that there is this Business Object SELFITEM and its method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION that runs behind this standard step. And this method has an importing (tables) parameter for attachments (of type Business Object SOFM).

Create a table of this type (SOFM) in your workflow container and fill this attachment table in a previous step using a custom business object method. Your next step should be the Mail step, with a proper binding to the container's attachment table.

This should do the trick.

Thanks

Arun.
