Error when trying to export Report Shipping Order: incorrect doument format (pfd)

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I want to export a MSDS report from the report information screen CG54 in pdf outside SAP.

When trying to export a Report Shipping Order (MSDS) from Report Management (CG54) I do see the shipping available in CVD1 with shipping reason EXP_CALL and communication type RML. However, shipping the order will fail due to error 'Order bundle: Incorrect document format (PDF) for order' and 'document format is not supported'.

Does anyone know what customizing or user-exit settings are required in order to be able to export the MSDS in pdf format?

Thanks a lot for feedback.

Kind regards,

Rob Greijmans

Dear Rob

topic has been discussed very often here. Check e.g. http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-41109. You will find links to many treads discussing nearly the similar topic and providing some solution to your topic.

Roughly: you need to perform a some customizing in report distribution and you need to "adapt" WWI process so that you can generate PDF etc.

Dear Rob,

I suggest you change the communication type for the type of call executed which is EXP_CALL.
