Sending deadline items to Microsoft Outlook

[Marc Correia]

Hi Bradley
 
We have a requirement to do this too. I have changed the configuration as=
=20explained, set the user's communication method to E-Mail and there is =
a valid user name there. Yet it still does not work I only receive the de=
adline item in SAP. I checked to see if an entry was in TXN SCOT but ther=
e was nothing there. Any idea what else could be the problem ? We are usi=
ng version 4.7.
 
Regards
Marc.

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 don=
e
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 us=
er
(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?
