Business object as attachment to SAP Office mail ?

[viveka.schwartz@implema.se]

Hello Karen and Jocelyn,
 
 
Displaying the business object (sales order) via a secondary method would
be an option.  Thank you Karen for this idea.
 
However, having the possibility to display the sales order - only on
request - via an attachment link would fit better in my case.
 
Thank you Jocelyn for hinting about the API-functions.
I found  FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1  which solves my problem. (This
FM is well documented as well !)
Basically it's the same FM used by RSWUWFML.
 
However, strange is that you'll have to program your own method just to
send a simple raw text mail with an attached SAP business object -
especially since we have this nice method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION in standard,
which seems like it easily could be extended with this functionality since
it already allows attachments of object type SOFM.
I'll put a development request on this to see what the development
department thinks.
 
Best regards
Viveka

Since you want to display the sales order, use the method display (in the
BUS2032 object) as a secondary method in your workitem.  Create an object
in
your task container to hold the BUS2032 object.  Then do your bindings.

Hello Karen,
 
Sorry for not being so clear in my request.
I would like to display the sales order via the recipients SAP Office
mail.
 
I've also tried to bind the &BUS2032& container element in my workflow
definition to the container element _Attach_Objects of my SELFITEM /
SENDTASKDESCRIPTION  task, but get's the same error message (Source BUS32
corresponds to object type BUS32 and
not to SOFM).
 
Best regards
Viveka

Do you want to display the object or do you want to display the sales
order
to the recipient of the email?

Hello,
 
I want to send a mail  to a recipients SAP Office inbox including a
business object (BUS2032) as attachment, ie I want to be able to display
the business object via an attachment link from my SAP Office mail.
 
I am using SELFITEM - SENDTASKDESCRIPTION and I'm getting a binding error
when I try to bind my BUS2032-object to the container element
_ATTACHMENTS. (Error: Source BUS32 corresponds to object type BUS32 and
not to SOFM).
 
I've also tried to bind the business object BUS2032 to container element
_Adhoc_Objects, however this does not work either.
 
 
Any ideas on how to solve this  ?
 
We are on 4.6C.
 
Best regards
Viveka
