Changing the Subject of the e-mail

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have checked the forum well before posting this query. But none could satisfy my query. So posting a new thread.

We are using a customised output type 'YZZA' for external deliveries. The output medium is set to 5 - External send. We are getting the email. The only requirement of the client now is to have the subject modified to contain 1. Sold-to-party Name 2. Country of the sold-to-party (This data will obviously come from KNA1).

I know we can maintain the mail title in 'Mail title and text'. But I wish to have the above said two fields as well in the subject.

Please bail me out guys!

Regards,

Shaheen

You can use the parameters in the Title and In the Nace for the Output type - Maintain the General data - Program & Form routine ( Replacement of text symbols ).

Hello Suman,

I feel I am almost there but still not able to see it. Can you please elaborate a little. You might give the steps which I need to do once I am in NACE.

Thanks in Advance,

Hello Suman,

I have got the path now. I am in General data tab. I see under Replacement of Text Symbol both Program and FORM routine are blank. How I can handle the situation from here on? I need to get the subject of the mail being sent in a particular format, which involves values to be fetched from KNA1.

Hope you are getting my point. Please ask me more details, if needed.

Thanks again,

Shaheen

In the Mail title & texts - Title place parameters for dynamic values like &VBPA-KUNNR& along with tile and for the program and form routine, refer to Program "SAPMM06E", Form routine "TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE". Check for similar routine pertaining to your output type application area or use your own inline with the standard.

Thanks again Suman. Your solution completely fits, but there is just one more problem. My VBPA has 7 entries in all. I want to get the customer no. based on my Delivery no. (VBELN) and also for the Part.funct. (VBPA-PARVW, here 'SH' ) ship-to-party. How can I make sure that it picks the correct KUNNR.

And please also note, after getting this KUNNR, I have to get NAME and LAND1 from KNA1, and I have to populate these values in thesubject of the mail.

Implement the form routine similar to the one i mentioned earlier, there you can write you own code to populate all the parameters ( ex &VBPA-KUNNR&) refered in the Title before calling the FM "TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE". The FM does the replacement.

Hello Suman,

This solution sounds great...I will try it and will revert back if I have doubts.

Thanks a lot again,

The parameters referred in the Title ( "Partner number &WA_VBPA-KUNNR&" ) must be global ( Declare WA_VBPA in the global data ) in the program and must be populated with a value within the Form routine.

Please refer to the below thread which has detailed explanation about the Form routine implmentation.

Hello,

If you are using custom routines in NACE for external send, you can try modifying the value of field nast-tdcovtitle with your requirement in custom routine, it should change the Subject of Email.

Let me know, if it helps you. Thanks

Hello Suman and Atul,

Thanks for your replies till now. Atul, I found out in my case the field TDTITLE was getting poulated with the subject of the mail. I concatenated country code and name of the customer to it. All's fine till now. But now the problem is the length of this field is only 50 chars. My client wants this length to be 255 chars.

Following are the pieces of code from my developement. I want to know how I can change the length of the field LVS_ITCPO-TDTITLE, without hampering the FM 'OPEN_FORM'.

Looking forward to your replies again.

Regards,

Shaheen

Hi,

You can not change the length of LVS_ITCPO-TDTITLE.

Just, check the program SCR_MAIL_EX1 where it says the subject line of the mail can be 255,

Thanks a lot, Suman and Atul. The problem is solved.
