Output transmission medium to print and email

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

Would it be possible to configure output type to print and email at the same time ? Kindly advise how could it be achieved.

We have output type existing with transmission medium "Print" but now the same need to be extended with email as well, which is transmission medium "5" the "External Send".

Thanks

Hi RKPSAP,

I suggest go for customization in that case.

Hi,

It is possible by maintaining the condition records for the output type.

Goto the T.Code "VV31(T.Code for maintaining the condition records for billing documents)".

Maintain the condition record as per your values and select the medium as "5(External send)".

Select the Date/Time as "4".

Select the entry and click on "communication".

Tick the check box "Print immediately".

Maintain the output device as "LOCL".

If you do this in billing document this output will be determined automatically and will be printed as and when you saved the document.

E-mail will also be sent to the person as per your logic.

Regards,

Krishna.

I didn't think this was possible but I tried it anyway and can confirm that it only sends an email. There is only ever one call made to the print program (eg RVADIN01) and therefore only one call made to FM OPEN_FORM.

This would work if you modified form PROCESSING within a copy of the print program - if NAST-NACHA is set to '5' and there is also a printer specified in NAST-LDEST then you could change NAST-NACHA to '1' and repeat the steps within form PROCESSING. Obviously there would be a bit more to it than this, taking into account some validation, print previews etc.

Hi

We have implemented the same scenario. There are two ways to do it:

1. Create a new output type, similar to first one, assign same print program. Assign that output type to your output procedure and in condition record make it as email.

2. Through ABAP changes in print program. Your ABAPer can help.

Hi,

You can do it if you create two messages at the same time, one for printer, other for email.

Check SAP Note 960088 - FAQ: Sending SD messages externally and related notes to know how to do the settings.
