Email & Workflow

[Soady, Phil]

Technically speaking that person didn't send the mail.
WF-BATCH did. 
The mail could contain reference to WF-INITIATOR or what ever.
Ie the WF systems is telling them person XYZ did bla.
That is more accurate.  Include a mailto: link in the text if need be.

Spoofing emails is becoming a problem 
now we are considering programming them en masse. ;-)

Client is king and requesting strange things / kidding themselves ?

The "from/sender"  can definitely be set programmatically in ABAP if
need be.
Just think twice before using it is my tip.

This is what i thought. 
They want to have the person that is actually perfomring the task as the
sender...client is king ;-)

Dimitri,

You can create a new method and use function module SO_OBJECT_SEND where
you
can specify the sender. I think that's the name of it - I don't have
access
to SAP at the moment. You might also want to take a look at business
object
SELFITEM, method SendTaskDescription to see if you can specify the
sender.

Did you ask the SAP BC team why they don't want to use WF-BATCH as the
sender? You can also change the WF_BATCH user entry e-mail address to be
something like DO_NOT_REPLY at domain.com. It's not like anyone can reply
back
to it unless you have set up inbound processing. From past experience,
people who make rules such as that usually have no clue.

Richard...

Dear all,
I use a workflow to validate requests and to send a confirmation of a
approval/refusal of those requests. When sending an email from the
workflow,
SAP always use WF-Batch that is common to FI/HR/... As it is common, the
SAP
BC team refuses that we use that user as sender. So 2 possibilities : 
1- Adapt the existing task specifying the sender 
2- Use an external function/report to send those information 
Possibility 1 would be the best one ! 
Does anybody have implement one of those things ? Any help ?
Thanks a lot in advance 
Dimitri
