SAPScript Attachment in background

[tom.olaf]

Hi.
 
For sending an invoice as an attachment to mail, you don't necessarily need to
create a special workflow. I have seen this handled (with SAP script) via
standard output determination where you can use eMail as the medium as well as
print, fax and EDI. There is some config to be done in the relevant
application and masterdata with eMail address must be in place. Also, as
mentioned earlier, conversion and allowed filetypes for outgoing mail in SCOT
must be configured.
 
Regards
Tom

have to attach it. You do have to tap into it by creating a method that calls
the smartform function modules so the trick is to provide the right input for
the standard and generated SM function modules.

receiver objects as well, but it does allow you to use the power of the
smartforms functionality to generate very professionally looking and very
maintainable workflow generated correspondence; including logo's, pictures,
tables, extensive situation-sensitive text and any piece of data stored in the
SAP system.
