Output type not accepting Comm method 5 - External send

[Former Member]

Hi

not sure whether this should be posted on the Abap forum or on here ???

I have a shipping output type.

assigned Partner functions and applicable mediums - 1, 2 and 5

however when trying to produce ooutput via comm method 5, external send, i am gettting red error messages/ traffic ligh

processing log is as follows:-

"processing log for program xxxxxxxx routine ENTRY

Please enter an address number

communication type cannot be used"

all outputs for medium types 2 Fax and 1 print are all OK for all Partner functions involved

please could someone provide our Abapper with the missing coding that is needed to accomodate the External send functionality

Many thanks for your help on this matter

Check if you have done the following:

1) Maintained Email address in the customer master data?

2) Maintained Email address in the user master data, this could be the generic/batch user you use for outputs.

3) Set up communication strategy in config for external sending: SPRO/IMG/Sales and Distribution/Basic Functions/Output Control/Determine Communication Strategy.

4) Set up settings for SAPconnect using SCOT?

Please follow the following OSS notes for more details and ensure that you have done all those steps:

454893 - CHECKLISTSD: Sales document output as an e-mail

960088 - FAQ: Sending SD messages externally

Let me know how it goes.

dear all

there seems to be some misunderstanding here

we have this working for lots of other outputs and ABAPS

I have configured all of these in the past myself

It works fine with print and fax

The majority of other Abap programs work with

so i know there is something incorrect with the coding in the ABAP

what i require is someone to provide me with the missing coding

thanks

What is the application for which you have assigned the form in NACE?

So, in tcode NACE, you assign form and print program name, after you will check ENTRY created or not.

Use application V2 in NACE for shipping related output type.

Hi

the following processing routines HAVE been applied to the output type

1 PRINT ABAP program ENTRY FORM

2 FAX same abap ENTRY same form

5 EXT SEND same abap ENTRY same form

there is an error in the Abap, that it is not accomodating the external send functionality

I would like someone with to possibly provide me with the coding on the Abap that is missing to accomodate for this

thanks
