Document Distribution Link to MS Outlook

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a client using document distribution. The actual document distribution seems to be working fine when messages are sent to the SAP Inbox. However when the messages are forwarded to MS outlook - the links to confirm receipt change to text files.

We are trying to achieve a link from MS Outlook that will enable the user to log into SAP from the email message.

Any ideas what to change?

Thanks, Neil

Hi Neil,

This happens when you have missed out on defining the Communication/Distribution Type for e-mail. This can achieved as follows:

DIR > Document > Document Distribution > Recipient > User Maintainence > Choose the communication method as INT (e-mail without URL) or HTP (e-mail without URL) and provide the remaining details > Save.

Now create a new recipient list and try document distribution via e-mail. Must work fine.

Hi Pradeepkumar,

We are trying to get the URL to the DIR to be sent to through MS Outlook.

Do you know how we can achieve this?

As indicated above,you need to configure for HTP communication type so as to have a link to DIR available in users' mailbox.

Hi,

can you redescribe the following for me:

Where can I find the above path/menu: DIR->Document.......

HI,

for sending mails externally, need to maintain proper distribution type and also need to maintain FTP server.

Thank You,
