Carlos,=20
The _Notes container element is NOT to be assigned to the workitem that
sends the mail.=20
If you just attach the _Notes container element to the workitem then =
all you
are doing is sending
your attachments to WF-BATCH.  So it could be a while before they are
opened...(sic)=20
 
You have to add your own step AFTER the SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION =
step
to:
 
Take the _Notes multiline container element.  Break each line it into =
it's
component fields using=20
structure SWLNOTEKEY.  Out of this get the field NOTE_OBJ, which is the =
SOFM
object reference
for the attachment document.=20
Append the SOFM object references (e.g. using method SOFM.ATTACH) to =
the
MAIL created by the workitem,=20
NOT THE WORKITEM ITSELF!!!
 
The mail is the SOFM object reference returned as a result parameter =
from
the previous SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION
step.
 
So you'll end up with one step to create the mail, and then a further =
new
self-coded step to add the
attachments to the mail.=20
 
This is what I was trying to describe in my previous reply - apologies =
if it
wasn't clear enough.=20

 I really appreciate the received help (so far) from Jocelyn Dart and =
Simon
Orchard. but it seems that your solution (_Notes container element =
centered
problem) doesn=B4t applied to my problem (the workitem,  who is =
intended to
send a mail, has the _Notes but SAPOffice doesn't show it).
 
In order to be able to receive more help from this workflow community, =
let
me explain what my problem is:
 
We are working on version 4.0B with SAPKE40B26 hot package level (that =
why
OSS notes 105139, 130531, 119417, 153163 don't apply).
 
 Our Purchase Requisition Workflow has the option to reject a =
requisition
(using a decision step), but before pressing the rejection button, an
attachment is created to establish the rejection reasons (type RAW). If =
we
notify the rejection using a mail task (SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION), =
the
workitem display shows the attachment (At workflow log level, the =
_NOTES
container element appears for that workitem) , but the SAPOffice inbox
appears with the Attachment column empty (No Attachment Icon is shown). =
In
the meantime we are sending a notification workitem (BUS2009.DISPLAY) =
which
shows the attachment but it needs to be executed in order to finish the
workflow.
 
The behavior that we are observing here is that Attachment Movement =
between
Workflow elements, it works perfect. But between Workflow and SAPOffice
doesn't work. Finally the funny thing about this problem is that if we =
send
a mail from SAPOffice with an attachment, the receiver can see both the
message and the attachment.
 
If someone already had and solved this kind of problem, please shared =
the
solution. Otherwise, any help on this matter will be very appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance.

 Hi Simon,
 
This is Carlos Garcia, I can't open the attachment you sent, it sends =
me
the
following error: "the attachment is a type that is not yet supported". =
I

Jocelyn,
 
It was me!
 
I have attached your reply regarding the above, the reason for not
replying so far is that I haven't had a chance to give it a go.
