Dear Jocelyn/ Uli,
If possible can you help me further in Open FI Interface ? I have not =
found
any detailed documentation in Online documentation/ sapnet.  Any =
detailed
instruction from you will be highly appreciated.
My requirement is to just send an internet mail if the accounting =
document
is beyond a certain value and is of certain type.
