SU01 and Infotype 0105/subtype 0010

Wed May 23 04:11:00 EDT 2007

Hi Cristiana,

Have you considered doing the opposite, i.e. maintaining email addresses 
only in infotype 0105 and not in SU01? That is what we do here. The reason 
is that this way we do not jeopardize HR applications which might need the 
email address in 105, and for the other applications (i.e. RSWUWFML2, send 
mail step, etc.) you can always manage to get it from the hr infotype: 
there is a user-exit in RSWUWFML2 to force email address, and in a send 
mail step you can pass the address directly from the wf container (use a 
custom attibute or method to populate it). 

All this of course is assuming that you are maintaining infotype 105 
subtype 0001 (user-id).

Regards,
Patrick

SU01 and Infotype 0105/subtype 0010

Hi all, 

we are using ECC 6.0 and implementing ESS/MSS and several HR related 
workflows. 

Based on what I have read in SAP-WUG and SDN, my understanding is that the 
recommended approach to send emails to Lotus Notes or Outlook is to use 
transaction SO16 (Shared Office Settings), tab Mail Sy.Grp and set it to 
"Send to home address of users". That way, e-mails will be sent to the 
user's default communication type and address in their user master. The 
workflow will send an e-mail to an User ID, and if the user's default 
e-mail address is filled in and default communication type 'INT' set in 
the User Master, all emails are automatically redirected to the email 
address. 

My understanding is that many more programs/routines/functions use the 
user master e-mail address than infotype 0105/subtype 0010 and I did read 
somewhere that the best approach is to make sure they are updated in synch 
i.e. SU01 and IT0105/0010. 

Can someone explain to me if we still need to maintain the e-mail address 
in infotype 0105/subtype 0010? If we maintain SU01 and set all up as 
described above, do we still need to maintain infotype 0105/subtype 0010? 
If yes, why do we need that? Assume that we do not want to send emails to 
the SAP Office, only to Lotus Notes/Outlook. 

Much thanks and regards,

Cristiana
