SendMail Workflow function to non-SAP user

[Soady, Phil]

Hi Matthew,
 
You can use the external Email address in mail.
Try create a message directly, before worrying about workflow.
 
The user send the mail needs to have an EMAIL Address on it.
Is this WF-BATCH in you case. Check the user master out. (SU01).
 
Do you have the internet mail gateway configured.?
See the help CD.
 
See transactions (SCOT), the program RSCONN01.
 
At OS level you must run mlsomadm.
You will also need an RFC destination that calls mlunxsnd
 
The workflow should get the email address of the PM dude.
See methods on object EMPLCOMM.
 
Then send away.
 
Should work if internet mail gateway is set up properly.

 My question is regarding sending an e-mail from SAP via workflow to a non-SAP user.  For example, say in the Plant Maint. module you were using a Web front end for employees to enter Maint. notifications and upon the notification being completed, deleted, etc. you would like to notify the requestor (who is not an SAP user). It seems you should be able to send an e-mail based upon Org. object 'Person' that has an associated e-mail address in their personnel master, however an error normally occurs and the mail is not sent.E-mail notification is working fine for SAP defined users and by entering an e-mail address directly into a workflow SendMail step, but referring to a Position with a Person assigned with valid Personnel record including e-mail address does not seem to work. Any direction or hint appreciated, probably something simple I am over looking.Matthew J. MetzgarMetzgar Systems, Inc.5 Lincoln St.Bridgewater, NJ 08807metsys at excite.com
