F110 - Automatic email to vendor when payment run is carried out

Question

Hi,
I am trying to configure automatic emails to be sent to vendor when automatic payment run is carried out.
Please note that i have already carried out the following settings:
Step 1- Define Std communication method as SMTP (Internet mail) in vendor master               
Step 2 – Maintain email address via FK02.               
Step 3 - T-Code BERP – Code to find Find event 00002040 – This is a Function called SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040, copy with another name i.e. ZSAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040               
Step 4 – T-Code FIBF -> Option -> Product ->a Customer, Write product name at your choice (for example ZMAIL) and make it active.               
Step 5 – T-Code FIBIF -> Option ->Process Function (or Module) ->. A Customer.               
Process = 00002040               
Module Function = ZSAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040               
Product = ZMAIL (name of product define by you in step 4)
it will automatically send mail to vendor provided SCOT is configured.
However, when i carry out the payment run, email is not generated..
Can someone please help me out with the above?
Thanks in advance

Emailing SAP Remittance advice:
1.
For the following process to work SAP Connect needs to be configured for outgoing mail. This is carried out by the Basis team. The t-code is SCOT.
2.
<b>Vendor Master Data</b>
Define ‘Std communication method’ as SMTP (Internet mail) and maintain an email address in the vendor master data.
3.
<b>T-Code BERP</b> – Code to find the relevant BTE. Use the Selection Attribute to browse for your business area. In my case, it is AP-Payment Transactions hence FI-AP-AP-PT.
00002040 is the relevant process. This is a Function called SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040. In this case, the FM only checks for an email address in the Vendor Master. If more logic is required a Z-version would need to be created.
4.
Use t-code FIBF to create the enhancement.
a)
Create a product.
A product groups together customer enhancements to BTE’s developed in the customer's namespace. All customer enhancements assigned to a certain customer product can be released with the Activate Customer Product indicator. The OPEN_FI function module for a certain customer enhancement cannot find the corresponding customer function modules, until this has been done.
Create the product name (for example ZMAIL) and make it active.
FIBF->Settings->Products->…of a Customer
b)
Assign the BTE to the FM:
Settings->Process Modules->…of a customer
Assign the 00002040 process to the FM and Product.
5.
At the end of this process when the payment advice program is run, the event will be called and it will automatically send an email to the vendor.
6.
Assign an email address to the sap user who will be the outgoing accounting clerk. Define the Accounting Clerk for the outgoing email address:
SPRO->FI->AR/AP->Vendor Accounts->Master Data->Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data->Define Accounting Clerks
hope it helps.
