Getting PDF error while opening attached PO & mail...

Former Member · ‎01-14-2015

Hi Experts,

I am getting 2 Errors while sending PO to vendor's external email IDs:

1) PDF error (see the attachment) as "Error opening document, file is damaged" while opening the attached PO in mail.

2) Mail is not getting delivered to external Email IDs such as Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail etc. When I checked in SOST its showing error as "Not a valid recipient address". However, mail successfully delivered to our local company domain's Outlook folder.

Please reply with your useful suggestions.

Thanks.

For issue 2, it is because external mail are not configured. Request your basis team to setup external email address in SCOT transaction.

For issue 1, let us how do you send email? are you using class or FM?

Hi Niyaz,

Thanks for reply.

Issue 1: I am using the below FM to send the email and attachment-

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'

    DOCUMENT_DATA                     = DOC_CHNG

    SENDER_ADDRESS                   = USERNAME     "Sender add hardcoded

    ENQUEUE_ERROR              = 7
    OTHERS                     = 8.

Issue 2: I checked in SCOT, external email address setup is there, even tested 'routing test' also...all showing in green color with no error.

I think problem is with your doc_size. Let me know how you calculate the doc_size of variable DOC_CHNG

Former Member · ‎01-14-2015

DATA: DOC_CHNG type SODOCCHGI1. "Structure for data to be changed

former_member200338 · ‎01-14-2015

May I know what exactly you are attaching? for example if it is a SO10 text then it might have not been imported in test client. in debugger what is the value you are getting in variable doc_size

Former Member · ‎01-14-2015

I am attaching Smartform as PDF in mail after converting from OTF to PDF by FM 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'. Translated the content using '~'. I am getting numerical value '3117' in doc_size.

Hi Harsh,

Thanks for the code.

I applied it...but still the same problem.

former_member207661 · ‎01-14-2015

Which SAP form you are using here. Is it Smartform or Adobeform?

Are you able to see print preview.

Please check if there is any text of languages which are not supported. You may need to install that language.

Also check if attachment is too big.

Warm Regards,

Shyam Agrawal
