Automatically generate an email per invoice containing a copy of the invoic

[Former Member]

hi

i am working on a requirement, where i have to trigger EMAIL when saving an INVOICE via VF01/VF02.

My requirement is to convert the sap script to PDF and send that to finance processing centre via email. this should happen for new invoice creation and for changed invoice.

I have done the configuration in NACE for billing document type V3.

i would like to understand the following things

1) should there be any code to be written when saving INVOICE?

2) or does it workout if we configure in NACE AND VV31?

3) if in the ocnfiguration i mention as PDF output type will the form get converted into PDF type?or should there be coding be done to convert it?

4)where do i put the email id of the person whom this form has to go?

5) should i make a Zcopy of script and print program?

searched before posting the query but couldnt get more understanding as email has to trigger when saving INVOICE.i know sending email when selecting output options.

regards

Moorthy

If you have to send mail at the time of Creation or updation of invaoices , then you have to find appropriate Use exit to send mail.

Just call you Sap Script in the exit then convert your sap script to PDF format .

Finally using function module (CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1') you can send the mail to appropriate person . Also you can pass mail id in the function module under tables " Receivers " .

Thanks....

hi

Hi

Yes , in my opinion you can call SAP Script in User Exit through open_form & Close_form . My only concern is , if the script gives some error then this may or may not affect the saving of you Invoice thus created .

Please make sure to handle this scenerio .

in nace, select V3-> then click output types -> select the output type -> double click on processing routine-> select external send and make the entries for the driver program and the script.
