Purchase order to pdf conertion

Hi,
I am working on 4.7 version. I need to generate pdf file for po fom.
My senario is when i am executing in me9f in back ground at the end of the day it should genarate po forms in pdf files in application server.

Two options are there
1. Customize your print program so that it converts script layout to PDF format.
2. you can use ME9f and create spool of all the PO at the ned of the day & using program RSTXPDFT4 convert these spools to PDF one by one.

Saving Purchase order as PDF

Hello all,
we would like to save our purchase orders as pdf file on the pc. We use SAPscript to create the POs.
I have already searched the forums, but I didn't find a solution for me so far.
I don't wanna use the way over the spool requests and the program RSTXPDFT4, because the end users don't have access to that.
My question is, do I have to create a new output type for that? How does that work? Or what else do I have to do (step by step)?
Thank you,
Anne

Hi Anne,
*PO to PDF to string
CALL FUNCTION 'ECP_PDF_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
      purchase_order       = p_ebeln
   IMPORTING
*   PDF_BYTECOUNT        =
     pdf                  = file
*Converting Xstring to binary_tab
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      buffer                = file
*   APPEND_TO_TABLE       = ' '
* IMPORTING
*   OUTPUT_LENGTH         =
    TABLES
      binary_tab            = int_tab1
**Downloading into PDF file
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
*   BIN_FILESIZE                    =
      filename                        = 'D:RDsample1.pdf'
      filetype                        = 'BIN'
     TABLES
      data_tab                        = int_tab1
With the help of above code and triggering user exit while saving PO , you are able to get PO PDF into PC.
Just try it.

Disable Purchase Order (PO) PDF Print button

Hi,
We are using SRM 550.
When a user views/changes a PO in the browser they can use the Preview Purchase Order button to view the PO as a PDF document.
This is OK, but we want to disable users from printing the form using the Adobe PDF print button as there is no print log recorded for this action and so the audit trail is compromised.
I have heard that this can be disabled by SAP when the PDF is generated does anyone know how this is acheived.
Thanks in advance

Hi Allen
field control you can do either via below badi or templates.
BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI BAdI
BBP_PO_UI_CTRL - field control in Purchase order
you must control the output preview button to disable . if you still finding problem then only this note is applicable . got it.
You do not want to provide the output preview button in the purchase order using the BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI BAdI, however, this appears as soon as you go to the output area in the header data of the purchase order. However, the button no longer has the label "Output preview", instead it just has the label "Preview".
This problem is caused by a program error: The display area contains a hidden "preview" button (the button is invisible but nevertheless it exists in the GUI) (Function group BBP_OUTPUT, screen 1100). This has the same name as the button for the "output preview" that exists separately in the button area of the purchase order (Function group BBP_PO_UI_ITS screen 2200). In the described case, the data of the output button is used for the purchase order button.
Solution
This note ensures that the output button does not exist (that is, not even in the GUI) if a calling application (in this case, purchase order) requires the generic output screen using the BBPS_OUTPUT_PUT_PBO function module without the preview button (IV_WITH_PREVIEW = ' '). Therefore, the data of the output button cannot be used for the purchase order button. This correction is available with Support Package 04 (SAPKIBKT04). For an advance correction, use Transaction SNOTE to implement the correction instructions attached to this note.

Reg Purchase Order in pdf format

Hi ...
1. We want to save PO as Pdf format suggest a way
2. any other alternative other than generating spool and then running program RSTXPDFT4 ??
3. I believe i cant get spool number from PO directly, if so many spools get created how do we know which spool belongs to which PO ?
Thanks

I managed to meet 'believe i cant get spool number from PO directly, if so many spools get created how do we know which spool belongs to which PO ?'
by maintaining mail title and text of Po message as 'PO No. &EKKO-EBELN&'
Now spool got generated as Po XXXXXXXX successfully ...

Spool number of purchase order

Hi experts
How do I get the spool number of a purchase order to send email?
I need to know this spool because I use the FM 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' and 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' to send email with purchase order in PDF format.
Thanks.

Thanks Ernesto.
I get the number spool otherwisw.
temprally in Device, I change MAIL for PRINTER.
then in the call function 'CLOSE_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
    IMPORTING
      RESULT     = RESULT
      rdi_result = rdi_result.
I get the spool number in RESULT-TDSPOOLID
Thanks

Attachments to Purchase order via e-mail

Hi,
Im working on SRM5.5, Extended classic scenario,
I have a requirement where :
Right now , users can send Purchase Orders by mail to vendors but apart from the PDF version of the Purchase Order no other document can be attached to the email.
I have to attach an other document to this purchase order in PDF format and send it via email.
Could anyone tell me if there is any BADI for this ?
Any technical solution would be of great help.
Thanks and Regards,
Aravind Nair.

Hi Yann.
At this moment I have the a similar problem... In my case I'm woeking with MySAP Enterprise 4.7 and I want to send the PO and their attachament vía e-mail, currently only the PO is being sent to the Vendor and the attachment only appears like texts into the "body" of PO. Is there some way to send PO and attachments at the same time??
Thanks in advanced for your answer and help!!
Regards,
Blanca Reyes

Sending purchase order through e-mail

Hi,
I need to send purchase order in PDF through e-mail. I know it is possible to automatically have it sent to the vendor, but my requirement is different. PO is created as conversion of PREQ, so I need to send it not to vendor directly, but to the PREQ creator first (for possible corrections etc.) Is this somehow possible? I'm using exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_020 where I'd like to paste call to the function module (in update task), which would send the e-mail.
Thanks in advance.

Legal Requirement to include GST in Purchase Order Output Australia?

Hello,
I am currently implementing in Australia and I need to know if it is mandatory to include GST in outputs of purchase orders ?
If it is, can anyone give me a link to a document that describes that this is a legal requirement for Australia?

GAR

wouldn't it make sense to ask the people who requested it from you to give a such a document or link?
Just putting 4 words (purchase order GST australia) into Google would give a result quicker than posting the question:

R12 - How to customize the seeded Purchase Order PDF report

Hi,
We need to customize the layout AND the data of the seeded Purchase Order pdf report that is generated in PO Summary form when user picks drop-down menu Inquire->View Document. I know how to set up the Document Type with a customized layout but I do not know how to update the XML data that feeds the layout.
Thanks, Mike

Mike,
Please review the following documents.

Japanese Language Text in PDF Output of Purchase Orders

Hi,
We are using a custom smartform to create a purchase order output and send it as an email to the Vendor.
Std Program /SMB40/FM06P is used. We have setup the configuration for External Message and this is working fine.
We have the following 2 issues
1. We wish to over-ride the email address picked up by the Program. By default SAP picks up the vendors email address maintained in Vendor master. Is there any way to overide this?
2. The purchase order contains Japanese language texts. These Japanese texts are not getting updated correctly in the PDF file. They are displayed as junk characters.
Please note that if I view print preview of purchase orders in mE23N the display is perfectly fine. Also I executed a report in the background and then converted the spool to a PDF file. The PDF file displays Japanese characters correctly.
Any inputs on the above is welcome. Issue no 2 is more seriously affecting us.

Hi,
For issue # 1. Check OSS note OSS 852250... you need to include this logic en get_addr_key in print program: /SMB40/FM06PE02
IF is_nast-parnr NE space AND
       is_nast-parnr NE is_xekko-lifnr.
      "-- Get address from partner -
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM lfa1 INTO ls_lfa1
      WHERE lifnr = is_nast-parnr.
      MOVE ls_lfa1 TO cv_addr_key.
Notice that line:
MOVE ls_lfa1 TO cv_addr_key
Should be
MOVE ls_lfa1-adrn TO cv_addr_key
About issue # 2.
I am facing the same problem, have you been ablo to resolve it?
Thanks

Email PDF Purchase Orders

Hi,
I have a problem with PDF email version of Purchase orders.It displays the most recently item whenever a new item is added/ modified rather than all the items in the PO.The email version of the PO uses a separate print program rotuine.Is there a way to display all the items of the purchase order item irrespective of if they are newly added/Modified.Can you please advise on this?Thanks.
Regards
Pinky

If you want to reprint the complete PO every time after a change instead of just printing what was changed, you could try to modify the output configuration for the message type (probably NEU) in message control. There is a routine that sets the change flag if I remember correctly. This change flag is used by the print program to determine whether the complete PO or just the changes should be printed. Try removing the associated program and form name from the output type configuration and see if this will give you what you need.
Keep in mind that then the PO output won't say that it is a 'change PO' form, and this change will have an effect on any PO output, not just the PDF email version. If that's not acceptable, then you'd have to modify the print program.

Custom Purchase Order template causes Error while generating PDF

The standard XSLFO works, my custom one errors:
History of the world:
1) I downloaded the XML Publisher thing for Word, installed it no problems
2) Downloaded the XML data definition for the Standard Purchase Order from XML Publisher Administrator
3) Created a blank word document and created the purchase order layout from scratch using the XML Publisher plug-in
4) Previewed it as a PDF in word - it looked fine (well, it was a start)
5) Exported the XSLFO
6) In XML Publisher created a new template and uploaded the XSLFO
7) Assigned the new template to the document in Purchasing
All good... the new template is defintately the one being used by the PO Output for Communication program. The problem of course is that it throws a useless error message :) - namely:
PoPrintingUtil.getBlobPDF(input,input) - After initializing the FOProcessor
PoPrintingUtil.getBlobPDF(input,input) - After setting the i/o stream and output format
PoPrintingUtil.getBlobPDF(input,input) - Error while generating the PDForacle.apps.xdo.XDOException

When I run POXPOPDF in Debug I get:

I know no one can magically fix this for me (I wish!) but does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? I have no conditional formatting or any other more complex functionality, just a really boring PO layout with a logo.
Any suggestions welcome, in the meantime I will keep trawling through Metalink in search of a clue ;)
Thanks
Jo

Hi Jo,
The first version for which the Template Builder was released is 5.0
Well, I guess I am one of the few who has a backported 4.5 version of the template builder. I did that for testing exactly your case. I just replaced our xdocore.jar file with the 4.5 version and it worked. The core.jar is not easily available. The files are part of the 4.5 patch, but I think it is too much work to get them out.
However, I would strongly recommend to upgrade to a later version of XML Publisher. We made huge improvements, since 4.5 - performance, translation, RTF template capabilities....
I just checked the process of converting an RTF template to FO and uploading it to EBS with 5.6.2 and it still worked. So it seems you can go straight to the latest version.
Hope that helps,
Klaus
