How to send PDF attachment through Email For Purchase Order

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can you please tell me how to send the Purchase Order with PDF attachment. Thank you.

Thanks & Regards,

Rani.

Hi!

Create the output type with the transmission medium '5'. Also maintain the email address in the vendor master. This will automatically send the doc as a PDF attachement to the vendor.

If this is not possible please go through the forum for other solutions.

Cheers!

Hi,

Once you have a spool, you can convert it to PDF by using function module

"CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF"

For sending emails with attachments use:

"SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1"

here you need to pass

1) DOCUMENT_DATA - For Document Attributes. Here you mainly specifies your list title, description

2) PUT_IN_OUTBOX = SPACE -> If you do not want to save an email.

3) CONTENTS_TXT -> text to be written in email

4) CONTENTS_BIN - > for attachment

5) RECEIVERS -> Recepients of Mail

Read the function module definition for better understanding.

Thanx

bgan.

Hello Rani,

Adobe wont support E-Mail and fax, but there is a workaround for the same.

1. Before calling FP_JOB_OPEN change the output parameters if the medium is 5 (E-Mail)

IF nast-nacha EQ 5.

FP_OUTPUTPARAMS-getpdf = 'X'.

FP_OUTPUTPARAMS-device = ''.

ENDIF.

2.After calling the dynamic function modulke for medruck_po form use class cl_bcs to send the document as attachment

Regards

Sachi
