Sending output / forms via Fax

[Former Member]

I am trying to configure the output to send our purchase order form via fax.

I have been been able to sucessfully configure the output via transaction NACE for printing and email. I have followed the same configuration steps for defining the fax, however, I am unable to successfully create the output.

The error I receive in the purchase order is "Error in OPEN_FORM for document 45xxxxxxxx"

Does it say anything else in regard to the OPEN_FORM?

No unfortunately it does not provide any additional info. I am thinking of following the instructions in the following SAP Note (397691) so that I have a better picture of the error:

"Symptom

If errors occur when purchasing documents are output, the system generates an error message in the message log of the message overview.However, error message ME142 'Error in OPEN_FORM for document &' contains only the information that an error occurred and not the error cause.With the attached source code, the error cause is also displayed in the error message (for example, missing authorization, terminated connection and so on)."

Implement the note, and try again. Maybe it will give us a better picture.
