Sending dunning letters by email

[Former Member]

Hello frens

Can anyone tell me the procedure to send dunning letters as email? I want to send email when F150 TCode is executed. I am new to dunning and I dont know how to go about it.

I read on sdn about some BTEs and coding in teh function module but I cant understand it clearly.

Could anyone please help me out with this?

Thanks.

Regards,

Preeti

Hello Preeti,

Please review the documentation in the system for the user exit.

Additional documentation on user exit EXIT_SAPF150D_001 can be reviewed via trans CMOD. Please use the following steps to review:

1) Run trans CMOD.

2) Select Utilities -> SAP enhancements; increase the max. number of

hits to 1,000, press execute.

3) Double click on f150d001 (Indiv. customer exits in prog. for

printing dunning notices).

4) Click on EXIT_SAPF150D_001 and Goto > Documentation

The following conditions apply to sending dunning notices by e-mail:

1) You cannot usually dun one-time accounts by e-mail (although you can

print out the dunning notices for these accounts).

2) You must store an e-mail address in vendor/customer master records.

3) You must use transaction SCOM to configure the dunning program for

e-mail.

4) The following fields in structure FINAA (data on the transmission

medium for correspondence) must contain the correct entries in the

user exit, as detailed below:

- FINAA-NACHA = 'I' (1 = output on printer, 2 = send by fax,

I = send by e-mail)

- FINAA-INTAD = e-mail address

- FINAA-TEXTF = text format (PDF or ASCII)

In transaction SCOT: Setting -> Conversion Rules make an entry:

RAW to TXT SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_RAW_TXT

In addition, please check some notes that you should review.

455127 E-mail (SMTP) in different SAP releases

171698 SAPconnect: Formats, conversion, device type

Documentation on configuring SAPconnect is contained in the SAP

Online Help under:

SAP Library

> BC - Basis (up to 4.6), or

SAP Web Application Server (as of 5.0)

> Basis Services / Communication Interfaces (BC-SRV)

> Communication Interface (BC-SRV-COM)

> SAPconnect (BC-SRV-COM)

Note 171698 explains formats & conversion rules.

I suggest that you should configure SAPconnect to handle simple messages from SAPoffice before you consider the faxing & emailing from other applications. Note 0455127 has some useful general information on email. Technically this falls under consulting.

Currently the standard does not support an email output of dunning notices to more than one email address.

If you want to send the mail to several recipients, fill the field FINAA-INTAD with the mail addresses and separate each address with a blank character. There are a total of 130 characters available in

FINAA-INTAD. Note 1042992 should guide you throught this.

I really hope that I could help you.

Best Regards,

Vanessa.

Hi, I tried to send dunning letter to several receivers, but it couldn't work by just leaving a blank characters between each email address in field FINAA-INTAD. Any additional settings or ABAP change is required? what you've described for multiple receivers seems not working, thanks.

Hello Vanessa

Thanks a lot for your valuable info

But instead of using BTEs, i used the enhancement F150D001. For this I had to do some customizations in SPRO, then enter listname as 'NET' in Assign Dunning Forms (as i had to email letters).

The enhancement calls the exit EXIT_SAPF150D_001 in which I coded. As you had said the finaa structure has to be filled in. Then when I tested it, the results were as expected

When I tried with BTE, I couldnt get the results. What is the difference between BTE and using enhancements as both can be used to send emails while dunning. What is the advantage of BTE in this case?

Regards,

Preeti
