Hi ,

Can you be more specific on your requirement. How do you want to FTP, as SAP script output can be converted into any output format and they can be FTP'ed through any program or direct update in AL11. Please be more specific.

Thanks for the reply,

I want to transmit a SAP Script invoice to a FTP server, is it possible to maintain the format of the script.

Other System dont not understand the OTF format (That spools use). So you can Convert this OTF format to PDF format (using FMs CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF, CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF or Ref Program RSTXPDFT4) and you can FTP the PDF file. Hope this helps you.

Hi,

If you are calling the SAP script using an custom driver program, please use the spool output and convert that into PDF and store it in AL11. If you are calling it using some standard transaction, then output the message and write a dummy program to convert that spool number into PDF and use that to store it in AL11.

Hi,

You mean the images were there when you upload and it is not there while you get it back from CG3Y?. That is strage, please explain the process how you implemented this.

Hi all,

Please help me to solve the issue.

I am unable to get logo/images (re-construct the complete form) when I download the file from AL11 to my local machine.

Although I get the complete invoice if I download it directly from the program (But I need to send the same invoice to AL11 also.)

currently I am converting OTF to PDF and then writing (the PDF internal table) it in AL11 in binary mode (write dataset)

Thanks in-advance.
