Email body text

Question

Hello,
we need to add a mailbody text to a standard mail (e.g. sales order confirmation using program SAPMV45A).
The output type was defined using transaction NACE with application V1 and medium 5 (external sending).
Currently we have only the PDF attachment without any text.
The mail text using transaction V/30 cannot be used for external sending (-> OSS 191470).
Is it possible to fill the mailbody text (argument: contents_txt in SO_DUCUMENT_SEND_API1) with standard customizing?
Or is a modification necessary?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Marian.

Answer 1

Hello,
I am working in a 4.7 environment using standard output configuration using transaction NACE and I also could not get standard SAP to add email disclaimer text into the body of the email.  Here is what I did:
1)  In function module SO_OBJECT_SEND, I added an include statement (this IS a modification to SAP):
tm = cl_os_system=>get_transaction_manager( ).
      if not tm is initial.
        t = tm->get_current_transaction( ).
        if not t is initial.
          t->set_mode_update( oscon_dmode_direct ).
        endif.
      endif.
    catch cx_os_error cx_os_system_error.
  endtry.
                                                                                INCLUDE ZZMVxxxxxx.
create send request
  CALL FUNCTION 'SBCOMS_SEND_REQUEST_CREATE'
    exporting
      originator               = originator
      originator_type          = originator_type
    IMPORTING
      SEND_REQUEST             = send_request
    TABLES
      OBJCONT                  = objcont
      OBJHEAD                  = objhead
      OBJPARA                  = objpara
      OBJPARB                  = objparb
2)  In the INCLUDE, I added this code which retrieves standard text object and populates the table which becomes the email body:
DATA: ZZ_lines LIKE tline OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
  CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
    EXPORTING
    CLIENT                        = SY-MANDT*
      ID                            = 'ST'
      LANGUAGE                      = 'E'
      NAME                          = 'Z_EMAIL_DISCLAIMER_GENERAL'
      OBJECT                        = 'TEXT'
    ARCHIVE_HANDLE                = 0*
    LOCAL_CAT                     = ' '*
  IMPORTING*
    HEADER                        =*
    TABLES
      LINES                         = ZZ_LINES
  EXCEPTIONS*
    ID                            = 1*
    LANGUAGE                      = 2*
    NAME                          = 3*
    NOT_FOUND                     = 4*
    OBJECT                        = 5*
    REFERENCE_CHECK               = 6*
    WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE       = 7*
    OTHERS                        = 8*
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO*
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.*
  ELSE.
     LOOP AT ZZ_LINES.
          MOVE ZZ_LINES-TDLINE TO NOTE_TEXT-LINE.
          APPEND NOTE_TEXT.
          ADD 1 TO SIZE-NOTE_TEXT.
          ENDLOOP.
  ENDIF.
3)  Finally, I created the standard text object Z_EMAIL_DISCLAIMER_GENERAL and added the following text:
PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL.  IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE        
CONTACT YOUR <your company's name> REPRESENTATIVE.

Hope this helps.
