Automating the process of trigerring the Reminders

[Former Member]

Hi,

We need to automate the process of triggering the reminder letters to the vendors. I tried scheduling a background job for the program RM06ENMA(Transaction code:ME91F) with a variant specifying the Purchasing document but this option couldnu2019t create the output message of type MAHN. Please guide me!!!

With regards

first you have to have reminder days specified in you PO.

this can be done manually or can come via info record or from material master purchasing value key (if info record does not yet exist)

Second, the PO needs to be due to be reminded.

third. The orginal messages must have been outputted. (this is the source for most errors in testing)

You are right..I have already taken care of all the mentioned conditions.

My requirement is to generate the dunning messages automatically by a background job or some other means.

I am sure it works.

What does the joblog tell you?

Hi,

Spool shows the screenshot of the screen which shows the list of the Purchasing documents(which comes after executing the transaction ME91F). Problem is that the job is not selecting the orders and generating the messages.

Can you share me your email ID. I will send across the screenshot of the spool.

just explain how you schedule the background job for ME91F.

It sounds like you scheduled only the execution of the selection, but did not tell SAP that it shall generate and save the messages. There is a box in selection screen.

Hi Jurgen,

I have the same requirements as Krishna but still not successful with creating the reminders in the background. All the requirements and the conditions for the PO to create the reminders are configured. If I do this in the foreground/manually in ME91F, I don't have any problem.

When I ran ME91F in the background and checked the box 'Generate & Save Messages', it does not seem to do anything. The job completed and says 'Messages saved'. Spool contains the list of POs processed. I would have expected that when I go to the PO and check the Messages, I would see an output for message type MAHN. . . but I don't.

Am I on the right track? Can you please tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks,

Mabel
