Multiple billing documents into one PDF for email

[former_member928919]

We have a business requirement to email invoices to customers with one email, one pdf. Our current email solution utilizes the Esker software and results in one email per invoice when we run RSNAST00 for transmission medium 5 nightly, which really irritates our customers.

Is there anyone out there who knows how to configure or program so the customer gets only one email with one pdf? We have been told this is possible using Esker Deliveryware rules but would prefer a solution inside SAP if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Amy

You can create a custom program which can do this using ABAP Development. The program will call a smartform and print all the invoices for the customer created during the day as continuous pages. (You should then remove the configuration for the output type already configured using NACE)

The program can be scheduled to run daily.

You could use the settings in SCOT to configure default file format as PDF for all smartforms.

...please.

with kind regards

We are not yet using Smartforms- can the same be done with Sapscript?

Also, when you speak of removing the config in NACE, are you referring to the config for the email transmission only? Because we also have print, fax and EDI set up.

Hi Amy,

Based on my previous experience:

when you trigger the output for invoice, you send this to spool. You can name the spool as customer number + date.

Then you need to develop a customized z program which will read the spool and based on the customer + date key, it will combine the output to one mail and send it. You can run this program in background daily.

This is mostly a ABAP development.

Thanks.
