Question on SAP Fax Connector

Question

Here's the query:
Background:
SAP R/3 application will produce a few type of reports/document (Order Confirmation/Payment Remittances etc) These reports/documents then have to be faxed or email depending on the user preference. The process that generates these reports is typically a batch process. The status of the fax (Success/Failure/Waiting) has to be updated back in SAP.
Questions:
In the above scenario - how to implement the fax part?
Is a 'SAP Fax Connector' needed for this?
or in other words - Can this be achieved without a Fax Connector?
If yes, what are the advantages/disadvantages of both methods.

Hi Sanjana,
Its better not to touch the standard sap generated program for the query, better choice would be copy the program to Z program and then make the changes what ever you require.
Then create the tcode for that zreport and execute it and you can transport it to other environments.
you can directly give the tcode to the process folks.
