PO output medium as 'External Send' for Language BG giving '#' instead of character in PDF output

Hi Experts,
When we maintain the PO output medium as ‘External Send’ for Language ‘BG’, the PO pdf is showing # instead of character.
But, if the output medium is PRINT and language is ‘BG’, the PO pdf prints correctly in BG language.I have checked the output type
NEU and find that same smartform is maintained for both the case.
Also it is working fine in the Quality as well as in development server.. issue is coiming only in PRD.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi ,
Check if you miss any settings in the following steps,
Go to NACE
- Select EF and click on OUTPUT TYPES.
- Then select Output Type NEU and click on processing routines
- In that you have to add a new entry - medium 5
- Then you need to assign a program, form routine and form.
- You can use the standard program i.e. SAPFM06P, FORM routine is always ENTRY_NEU and standard MEDRUCK.
- Then in PARTNER FUNCTION you need to add a new entry: medium - 5 and function - VN
- For subject of the mail go to Mail Title and Texts. In title give PO No. &EKKO-EBELN &
- Under General data -> Replacement of text symbols give program as SAPMM06E and Form Routine as
TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE
- Now the subject will be PO No. xxxxxxxxx.
- You need to maintain your email id in tcode SU01 and also the vendor's email id. - Now while creating a new purchase order change the medium to External Send
- Then go to Communication Method and select CS01 ALSO make sure that the Cover Page Text has value PO No. &EKKO-EBELN&
- Go to tcode ME9F
- Execute.
- Select the checkbox and click on Output Message.
- You will get a message MAII XXXXXXXXXXX generated

How do I use my late 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output.

May be this question has been asked thousand times. how do I use my mid 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output. if apple hasn't removed that feature and has just moved that functinoality to thunderbolt then how can I use it. currently there is no laptop available with thunderbolt output. no 3rd party converter available. whats the use of having feature on latest functionality if we cant use it. I wish they would have made one port has mini-dvi and other thunderbolt for backward compatibility untill some vendor comes up with converter.

It Says :
Mac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) and later computers support Target Display Mode via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2 m) when the source is another Thunderbolt-equipped computer.
Name one computer model/vendor which has thunderbolt as output for display + audio. this is so stupid to move to new technology without availbility of its compatible devices.

Smartforms PO - output type external send - for purchase order

Dear
I want to define a specific output type for example ZPOM, with medium 'External Send'. The communication Strategy is SMTP (MAIL).
The configuration of the Processing Routine is the following:
Program: - FM06P
Form Routine: ENTRY_MEU
SMARTFORM: Z_MM_PURCHASEORDER.
When we create this mesage in the PO, no mail is send. There is also no processing log available.
Is it possible to use the same smartform with print program that is used for Medium 'Print Output' for medium 'External Send'?
Best regards
Luc

What you need to do is to create in SPAD Output device for E-mail ( in the Host Spool Access Method define M:E-Mail to Receiver/Owner) and then in the 'Print Output' assign this device.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Naveed

BAPI_PO_CHANGE: Email Message Output Not Sent (External Send)

Hello,
I'm hoping someone has seen this issue before. In a Z-program within our ECC system, I am updating various fields via BAPI_PO_CHANGE and the changes are successfully saved and committed to the database. When the output determination for the purchase order is "print", there are no problems - the print output occurs as expected based on the appropriate settings. However, when I change a PO in the exact same way, but the output determination for the PO is "external send" (i.e. email) with the same fields etc... the messages are updated as having been generated, but the email is never sent from the system. NAST shows the record of it as processed successfully as well.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be occurring?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Leslie

Execute SCOT Transaction.
FIrst
From the Menu, View -> Node
Expand the "SMTP" -> "INT" ->
By default BASIS would have set it to your own company domain.
The domain of the email address for example john.doe - at - yahoo - dot - com which is yahoo - dot - com should be listed in there.
If it is not, then you have to work with your Basis team to set it up.
Alternatively,
From the Menu, View -> Routing
You will see the list of domains it is restricted for.
Second,
Most emails coming from SAP get routed to your main email SMTP Server which is hosted using Microsoft Exchange.
The emails from SAP get forwarded to this SMTP server for distribution.
Check whether there is any filter or restriction setup for any emails coming from SAP.
You may have to contact your Exchange Admins for this.
Work with your Basis team to do it.
Finally,
Execute program RSCONN03 to do a routing test.
Hope this helps.

Output message type External send - Suppress spool number in SOST title

Dear all,
Using an external send output type, we send order confirmation from by mail.
Depending of printer we use, we have different behaviors :
With a normal printer, the mail title we get in SOST is exactly the content of field <NAST-TDTITLE>.
This field can be changed in the print program, so we can set exactly the title we want.
With a PDF2MAIL printer (printer defined in SPAD with property host spool access method : M (Email to Receiver/Owner), the mail title we get in SOST is the following : <SystemID><Spool Number><NAST-TDCOVTITLE>.
Do you know whether it is possible to suppress standard information <SystemID><Spool Number>
and therefore have only <NAST-TDCOVTITLE>.
Setting both fields <NAST-TDCOVTITLE> and <NAST-TDTITLE> using print program, the goal is to have allways same title in SOST ...
Can you help me ?

Output medium 5 not working for invoice message type

Dear all,
we have an issue with output medium 5 for comercial invoices. We have defined current message type ZRD0 with this output medium (it still has other mediums assigned like 1) because when we create a comercial invoice we want to send the invoice automatically to customer mail as a pdf file.
We have followed the instructions:
-we have add this medium to message type and it has assigned exactly the same program and smartform as medium 1).
- Communication strategy is already defined as it is being used for vendors mails.
- Customer has e-mail address filled and my user in SU01 has a mail defined.
Unfortunately mail is not being generated but spool is being generated?!? For vendors this output type is working fine, we are sending the PO to vendor's mail as pdf file and I don't understand why it's not working.
Any ideas??
thanks in advance,
Raquel

Hi Raquel
Firstly In the output type ZRDO output type , check wheather the transmission medium has been checked or not. Secondly also check in VV32 with what transmission medium the record has been maintained.
Finally also check in ZRDO output type wheather pdf file has been maintained or not

How to set correct audio output while using external screen for presentation purposes over a wire

while trying to make a presentation or simply playing a video from my MacBookAir over thunderbolt/HDMI table to large screen I am experiencing problems with audio only being played from the MBA and not the soundsystem built in to that screen (unless using a VLS application and manually selecting the audio output target).
Please help in finding how to steer audio output device using 2in1 cable such as thunderbolt?

Hi jar9,
If you are not hearing audio over your HDMI/Thunderbolt connection, you may want to see if it is showing up as a selectable audio output as outlined in the following article:

Hi Tim,
Thanks a lot for the reply. I just generate the data file (XML data) without attaching the Template with concurrent report program. I don't know the set up for UTF8 (6-Byte) character.
Can i change it from 6-byte to 8 or 16 byte UTF8..?

$POSITION field prints a character on PDF output

I have a $POSITION field on JFMain page. A subform on Page2 is laid down at the $POSITION field on JFMain. Target output is PDF only. $POSITION field is formatted for No Print, positioned at X=0. When generating preview a $ appears on the left at the margin on the output PDF. This also happens on one other template only a capital M prints instead of a $. The same type subform is on many other templates and it does not occur on those templates. Any ideas on how to correct this are greatly appreciated.

hi Joshua, i would tend to agree with the person on your team that feels it's a font issue. if you're scheduling an export on the server to pdf then that server has to have any fonts used on the reports. there are lots of articles on this process like this one here.
if you export to ms word format in a schedule or publication from the same server you should see the same issue.

Change "SAPScript" email subject/body for External Send(5) for output type?

Hello,
I'm emailing a SAPscript form (converted to PDF) generated via Transmission Medium 5 (External send) for output type (EK00) and need to change email's subject and body of email created by SAP code. Any suggestions on how to change email's subject and body?
Thanks,
Billy

Also if u want to add a body to the mail. See the below form (sub routine) which needs to be mentioned in NACE. Either u can keep this routine in the driver program or u can put in separate report program. All thing u need to is see the below code and mention the name of the program and form name in nace. Double click on output type in nace. u will find a tab stripped screen in right. In the screen u can see the first tab as 'General data' and at the bottom a block with title 'Replacement of text symbols' can be seen. There u need to pass this program name and form name.
Execute ur program and test the result.

Problem with the External send output for Portugal in Smartforms

Hello All,
I am facing an issue with a particular outtype for external send for portugal country.The print priview is of different font than original font of the form.
But When the same output type is assigned with the print output the form is showing the font with the original fonts of the form.
can any one suggest the solution for this?

Hello ,
Actually the same external send output type is working fine in the development system.This is having issue only in quality system.
And the condition records are maintained same in both dev system and quality system.
Does the capturing of Font play any Role...
I read some where that sometimes in translations a particular coutry might not hold the fonts.

Varun

User cannot receive External Send Output Message manually - ME22N

Hi Guru's
I have the following issue, once a User has saved the PO he wants to receive this PO to his email. He goes to "Messages" and selects Medium 5 "External Send" and in Partner he types his User ID in order to receive it.
He is not receiving any emails and the status in Further Data is "2 incorrectly processed". When he types another User ID, this User does receive the email. Is there anything else I need to configure to this User ID so he can received this Output Messages? He is the only User that cannot receive these Output Messages.
Regards

Problem Solved!!
I enter to table USR21 (Assign user name address key) and realized User ID did not exist. So I enter to table ADR6 (E-Mail Addresses) and noticed it was a totally different User. I enter to table LFA1 (Vendor Master) and there was information about this User.
This left me to one conclusion...This had nothing to do with the User ID
The Client in the past created Vendors (MK01) has "Buyers". So when the Buyer wanted to send any PO to his email he just went to "Messages" and selected Output Type "NEU" / Medium 5 "External send" / Partner "Vendor#" = Buyer.
I enter to MK02 and typed the Vendor# they gave him, in "General Data" check only "Address" and press ENTER, updated the email in the field and selected INT E-mail in "Standard Comm Mtd" and problem solved.
Thank you all for your help
Best Regards!!

PO Output type with Option 5 External Send (&EKKO-EBELN&)

Dear Friends,
We have come across and interesting issue.
We want PO output to be send to vendor via email and the email subject should be "New Purchase Order <po document no>". To achieve this requirement we have set the Output type NEU --> Mail title and Text as NEW PURCHASE ORDER &EKKO-EBELN&.
When PO is created and before saving the PO user select the option 5 External Send in Message and further go to the communication tab. he can see the 'NEW PURCHASE ORDER &EKKO-EBELN&.' in Cover Page Text.
But the movement user saves the PO, Message --> communication is replaced with 'NEW PURCHASE ORDER".
And finally when the mail is sent with no PO document number and subject as "NEW PURCHASE ORDER".
Has any one has come across this issue before?
Or is there any OSS note for this?
Please Help!!
Sandeep

dear sandeep
you can follow below mention steps or reffer OSS
1. You must maintain an e-mail address in the address in the vendor master.
2. The same applies to your own user master. You also have to specify an e-mail address there in order to identify the sender.
Note that it is not possible to change the e-mail address of the vendor via the SAP purchase order transaction (ME21N, ME22N, and so on). The system only uses the e-mail address of the vendor that is maintained in the vendor master!
3. For the output type for default values, a communication strategy needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports the e-mail. You can find the definition of the communication strategy in the Customizing via the following path: (SPRO -> IMG -> SAP Web Application Server -> Basic Services -> Message Control -> Define Communication Strategy). As a default, communication strategy CS01 is delivered. This already contains the necessary entry for the external communication. Bear in mind that without a suitable communication strategy it is not possible to communicate with a partner via Medium 5 (external sending).
4. Use the standard SAP environment (program 'SAPFM06P', FORM routine 'ENTRY_NEU' and form 'MEDRUCK') as the processing routines.
5. In the condition records for the output type (for example, Transaction MN04), use medium '5' (External send).
6. You can use Transaction SCOT to trigger the output manually. The prerequisite for a correct sending is that the node is set correctly. This is not described here, but it must have already been carried out.
7. To be able to display, for example, the e-mail in Outlook, enter PDF as the format in the node.
