Hi Malti,

Thanks for your reply. My requirement is to send emails with attachments(i.e Bills and SMS alerts on a monthly basis) to 5 lakh customers. These bills are generated in IS-Utilities.

Function module SO_OBJECT_SEND and class CL_BCS can be used to do this.

I am looking at it this way, Does this affect the performance of the system where ? as we have to generate these 5 lakh documents monthly. How much time will it take to generate OR Is there any other way where we can do this.

Let me know if you have any knowledge on this

Thanks,

Shweta

Hi Malti,

I found this on help.sap.com

SAPconnect provides a standard interface for external communication, which supports sending with telecommunication services, such as FAX, text message (pager/SMS), Internet mail, and X.400, as well as sending to printers and between different SAP systems. It enables external communication components to be connected to the SAP system.

SAPconnect provides a direct connection to the Internet using the SMTP plug-in of the SAP Web Application Server. This enables you to send and receive Internet mails without the need for an additional external communication system, as well as faxes and text messages (pager/SMS). The SMTP plug-in is available for Internet mail as of SAP Web AS 6.10, and for fax and text messages (pager/SMS) as of SAP Web AS 6.20.
