<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=869074413-16092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>1. Send mail to Notes mail-in box</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=869074413-16092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>2. Process incoming messages and create a message to the

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=869074413-16092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>3. When the user presses "Approve", make an RFC call into

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=869074413-16092005><FONT face=Arial

for PO Release<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are using SAP R/3 4.6B and Lotus Notes 6.5. Our requirement is
when the user creates the PO, it should directly go to the Lotus Notes for
approval. The higher authorities do'nt want to log in to the SAP and
approve the same. They need to approve it through Lotus Notes Mail.
How can it be done. I know it can be done through BAPI. But I am not
much aware about BAPI. Can u tell me the procedures and steps to do the
same.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
