Sending deadline items to Microsoft Outlook

[Bradshaw-Long, Kathleen]

Bradley,
 
Thank you for your reply.  We have already made the settings you
described in SU01 and SO16, but we still only receive Notifications for
Outlook that we have attached to our work item steps--- we aren't
getting the deadline messages.  We are on a 6.2 release and have used
the Comm. Method INT Internet Mail.  Does your method depend on the
release?

Hi Kathleen,
 
My suggestion would be a more strategic approach. Have all SAP mail
redirected to a user's Outlook or enterprise mail system. This can be
done by changing a system setting within SAP and by assigning each user
id an e-mail address within SAP (Trans SU01). Change the setting in
transaction SO16 - (Tab - Mail sy.grp) Send to home addresses of users.
With this setting, SAP will automatically attempt to redirect all SAP
Mail for a user (not workitems) from the SAP Inbox to their (in your
case) Outlook mail. This will only happen for a user if that user has an
email address set up for their user-id (SU01) and their communication
method is set to E-Mail (Comm.Meth =3D E-Mail). For users without those
settings, it continues to distribute messages via SAP Inbox. So this
function can be switch on for some users and not for others or more
importantly, you can phase in this approach as e-mail addresses are
added.

Hello all,
 
In our workflow development for approving purchase requisitions, we been
able to send e-mail notifications to Outlook when an approver receives a
workflow in their business workplace in-box, by using program RSWUWFML.
 
We are currently in the process of setting up deadline monitoring to
remind users to approve requisitions.
 
When using 'Simple' deadline monitoring, we have learned that workflow
sends overdue messages to the users Inbox/Deadline_Messages folder.
However, we would  like to forward these deadline messages to Outlook.
We do not want to use SAP MAPI. Is there a program that would do this
without using SAP MAPI?
