External Send Billing Document - Issues Generating Body Text in Email

Have generated output type to email billing document as PDF to customer. I am using medium 5 for 'External Send' and have everything working well - the subject line is correctly showing the company name and invoice number, also the PDF is tagged correctly the same data. The issue I am having is trying to incorporate body text in the email itself. I found OSS note 753622, and it indicates this is not possible but the note is quite old. I have combed internet for solutions on this, and many suggestions seem to point to function module CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL but not clear to me that this can be overcome here. Would appreciate any insights if someone has experienced this requirement as well.
Thanks,
Jay

Jason,
The FM you mentioned CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL is only for converting the OTF format to the email format. It has no other role in displaying some texts in the email.
As already pointed out, it is not possible in standard SAP. You have to go for the custom code in the report program meant for the output type.
This is the widely accepted and used practice in output world.
Hope this helps you

  • Billing Document not generated.....

    Hi Gurus,
    When i am creating a Billing Document VF01....after completion of VL01n...the system shows an error Billing Document not generated...
    Please help me
    Rewards will be given

    To resolve the error, you can analyze account determination in the billing document. Process:
    Goto T.Code: VF02 & Enter Invoice number
    Next (On the top most strip) goto Environment
    Next (Select Environment) go to Account determination
    Next (In Account Determination) select Revenue Account Determination (first option)
    This will list all the condition types in the Billing document & analyze each condition & check for which G/L accounts is not determined.
    Possible errors:
    1. VKOA not maintained for required combination
    Solution: Maintain the combination in VKOA.
    2. Account Assignment of Customer / material not maintained in Customer / Material Master (If maintained in combination in VKOA).
    Solution:
    Option 1 (Standard solution):
    step 1: Cancel Billing Document --> Reverse PGI --> cancel Delivery --> Cancel Sales Order
    step 2: Maintain Customer master / Material Master correctly.
    step 3: Recreate sales Order --> Delivery --> PGI --> Invoicing.
    Option 2:
    Force the Account Assignment Group of Customer / Material through Debug in change mode of Billing document, which will release Billing Document to Accounting.
    3. Account Key not maintained in Pricing Procedure:
    Impact: This may create accounting document, but if condition type, which are to be posted to account, but do not have account key maintained in pricing procedure, it will not be post the relevant condition type to G/L account.
    From FI Side, you require to check that all the G/L account has been maintained through T.Code: FS00. G/L account being Master data has to be created in each client ot uploaded through LSMW / SCATT / BDC.
    In Billing Document in change mode (in the first screen where we enter Billing Document number), on the top most left hand corner, take a dropdown on Billing Document & select Release to accounting. Here you can get the under mentioned possible message:
    1. G/L account not found
    2. Cost Element not maintained for G/L account.
    In both the above cases, FI consultant requires to take corrective action.

  • User exit trigerred after billing document is generated

    The objective is to set the Sales Order Item Level System Status. Using a line item that is created in VA01, I have to create a reference item in VA02. For both the line items created I have to generate billing document in VF01. After the billing document is created (when I give save in VF01), using the billing document number I have to set the Billing and delivery system status to completed.
    The functional specification provided me with a user exit USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE in RV60AFZZ. But the exit is getting triggered before the billing document number is generated. So I am unable to set the status.  Can you suggest me a user exit that would be triggered after the billing document is generated?

    if your invoice is relevant for accounting posting - you may use one of SD/FI exits (check RV_ACCOUNTING_DOCUMENT_CREATE and search for call customer-function).
    OR you may define new output type for your invoice and put your logic there, nast-objkey will have invoice number.

    Hi,
    There could be no of reasons as per your information.
    1)Is PGI done?
    2)Are items in order relevant for billing?
    3)Please check S.doc type confi- Is there proposed billing type in VOV8?Is it special order type?
    4)Please check copy control settings in VTFA.

  • VF01 - "No billing documents were generated see log"

    Hello Gurus,
    I have created the following:
    - A sales order
    -  A delivery
    For some strange reasons I cannot create a billing using VF01.
    I have selected as follow: F2 for invoice
    and I get the following error:  "No billing documents were generated see log"
    I have checked in VTFL that Billing is related to the Delivery which is the case.
    Where can the problem come from?
    Please help
    Chris

    Hi Chris
    First of all check weather PGI has been done for the delivery document or not. So Go to VA02 and check the document flow.If PGI has been done in the document flow also then the delivery document might not got updated in the database Table.It might be taking some time to get updated in the database table
    Thanks and Regards

  • Can i make at vf02/vf03 billing document issue output  from a select list

    i have 2 output types YN30  an YN38 who are automaticly created ok
    but when i want to output it  sap doesnot show a choice for two types  but instead
    it shows onley the default from TVFK
    by example at va02  you get a choice from all types that are created for this order
    anyone can help me

    i dont think you understand my problem
    compare sales order output
    with invoice output
    in customizing the look identique
    but in sap
    va02   enter an order  > menu sales document > issue output to
    then a popup window is displayed with all documet type that are created for this order
        you can select one > print or display
    vf02 enter an invoice  > menu billing document issue output to> print or display
    and then  there is nolist  but onley the default document type
    you can change that or search in all types defined in sap ( not in onley the types created for this invoice )
    i need that the user can choose between the 2 types
    we work in sap 4.6C

    Sounds like the Word file may have right justification. You can turn that off within Word.

    I don't have any problem attaching just a MS Word file in Mail. My process is pretty simple....with a message open I click the attach icon (paperclip) at the top of the message, then navigate to where the file is located and select it. I make sure I have the cursor at the bottom of the new message below my signature line. FWIW I use MS Word 2011.

    Hi SF,
    Your settings look correct,The Notify step should work fine.
    Still you can refer the below link ,which will guide you in detail on how to use the Notify step in MDM Workflows.
    I have used the Notification step in MDM workflows in the SP06 version and it works fine.I am not quite sure whether this will will work in the SP05 version.
    Even after all the correct settings if it does not work as expected ,then i guess it should be a version problem.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/90efe90c-b03f-2b10-65bf-e572fef651cb  (email notification in wf)
    The main reasons why the notify step may not work are:
    Check for the following:
    - The mds Settings are correct and mention the IP of the server instead of the Name.
    - All the users to whom notification have to be send must have to complete email ,mention in console.
    - Try Restarting the MDM server once after configuring the MDS.ini file
    Hope It Helped

    Hi,
    There is a simple solution provided by SAP to trigger the BILLING DOCUMENTS for Deliveries
    This is a standard process
    Setup a Job in SM36 for the program SDBILLDL and it will pick all the delivery document which are open on that particular Billing date
    and process the Billing documents
    Alternatively you can also create the IDOC to trigger the BILLING DOCUMENTS
    For which you need to setup the PARTNER PROFILES, MESSAGE TYPES, PORT, RFC DESTINATION, SEGMENT CREATION,
    But i would suggest you to go with the standard program to create the Billing documents
