SD Billing Document Output to email via external send

Hi all,
I hope you can helpt with following issue as I need to send invoices via email using the option 'external send' in the message determination. The settings are as follows:
Message Determination VV32/VV33
Output Type ZI04
Billing Type ZIV
Condition Record Sales Org / Billing Type / Payer
Medium 5 - external send
Dispatch Time 1, 3 or 4
Cover Page Text: any text followed by invoice no. &VBRK-VBELN&
Expectation
With this setting we expect the billing document number to be included in the subject line of the email sent out.
This works fine as long as you maintain the message in the billing document -> header -> output manually.
Problem
If you create a new invoice and the message is created automatically based on above Message Determination settings and you issue the output using any of these options
- option 1 and report RSNAST00
- option 3 using VF31 running in background mode or
- option 4 issuing immediately,
the document number is printed into the subject line but instead is printed the tempory document number $000000001. The correct billing document number is printed on the PDF form included in the mail output which confirms that the document number is available from the database at the point of output issue already.
Any idea how to maintain the settings correctly to get the billing document number on the subject line of the email after creating a new invoice?
Best regards
Karsten

Hi,
I dont have ABAP skills, but ask your ABAP programmer, (or yourself), to find the point in the invoicing program that get internaly the invoice number.
And you should try to asign the field from the internal temporary structure XVBRK-VBELN.
Should be something like:
Cover Page Text: any text followed by invoice no. &XVBRK--VBELN&
Please confirm with someone that have technical skills.
Regards,
Demétrius

Billing document output needs to tigger for multiple emails.

Hi Experts,
We have a scenario wherein a single billing document output gets triggered for multiple emails. The requirement is to send the invoice layout copy to multiple emails where we maintain customer mail ids in customer master record.
When tried ,we found option in customer master record and maintained multiple email ids to send the billing output.The system has considered first email id from customer master record and did not consider next mail ids from CMR. Could you please suggest how can we suffice this requirement .
Thanks in advance.
KV.

Hi,
Email Address is maintained in Table ADR6 against the address number of table BUT000 for a particaluar BP.
If the custom code is used, following logic can be used:
For multiple email address multiple entry will be there in ADR6 for the same address number. To send the correspondence to all email address, select all entries and concatenate them separated with semi-colon ( and pass the same to the email address field.
This is working in our case where we are using a third party for creating and sending the PDF.

Pranavjeet.

Invoice via email to external sender with partner function

Hello all,
sending an invoice via email to the recipient address that's in the customer master is working fine in our system. Now we want the invoice to be sent to one of our employees and we did the following settings:
- Created a personnel number in the HR module and assigned this number to the SAP user ID of the employee.
- Created a partner function ( Transaction OPSPAR1) with partner type ER - Personnel number. Is this the correct partner type?
- Added new partner function in customer master and assigned personnel number of employee.
- In output section of the invoice, we added output type, selected medium = external send, assigned new partner function and partner=personnel number.
After issuing output, a message comes up that output could not be issued.
Any suggestions? Am I missing something?
Thanks
Anne

Dear Anne,
Have you maintained Recipient field with User Id of employee in the condition record Communication detail screen.
If not maintained maintain Recipient field with User Id of employee then try.
I hope this will help you,

Billing document to customer email ID

Hi,
I want any billing document save then billing document should go to automatically the customer email ID. Already I have maintained the email ID into the customer master.
is it possiable? If yes, how?
Pl provide the solution for above requirement
Useful answers duly rewarded
Regards,
Devendra

Hi
Even for the Z output type you can set External send method in NACE.
Other config steps are same as provided you earlier i.e. NACE -- VV31 - VF31 varient creation --> SCOT settings --> Job Schedule for VF31 with varient --> Job schedule for SCOT.
Just one tip, if you want check SCOT settings are in place or not - generae spool request. In T.code SP01 select the spool request and Click Menu Bad --Spool Request --> Forward --> Send using SAP Office --> Type your Maild id. for e.g gmail ID.-Click on copy.
Now go to T.code SCOT just check you have configur Adr Type INT and within INT -- SMTP. Click on Start send process and click on Start. If you get output via mail through this process your SCOT settings are in place. Else you need to ask your basis team to configure.
Good luck
Regards,
Vijay

How to send a SmartForm output as Email to external id?

I want the Smartform output to email to extrenal email-id.
I don't want the Smartform output as any kind of attachment, but the Smartform output needs to be shown on the main email body. Can anyone pls. help me out?

First, thanks for your responses.
I haven't found the demo program 'BCS_EXAMPLE_6' in SAP 4.7. But then I got it in SAP 5.0 version. But this program only describes how to send Form output as PDF attachment with email. But this is well-known and I haven't asked for this. I want the Smartform output within the mail-body without attachment.
The weblog at "/people/pavan.bayyapu/blog/2005/08/30/sending-html-email-from-sap-crmerp seems a more logical one, though I have already tried it out. Here the html page creation and graphics load -- everything is going right. But this HTML page is being delivered as an Attachment within the email. The normal HTML Email is not coming. I think this technique wouldn't work with all mailing tools. Here in the weblog, Pavan has shown the example with Microsoft Outlook. But I have tested with Lotus Notes and Yahoo. And In both cases, the mail is coming with attached HTML file (in .mht format), but not as a notmal html mail without attachments.

Error while trying to assign an output type to medium external send in smar

Hi,
My requirement is to send a smartform through e-mail as PDF attachment.I have made the changes in the print program of the smart form.When I try to assign the output type to the medium external send in vt02n transaction,it is being saved but it is showing the status as 'not processed'.When I check the processing log it is showing 'Please maintain a output device in your user master data'.But I am able to send the mail and open the attachment.When I try to assign the same o/p type to medium special function,this is being successfully processed .Why am I getting error when I try to assign theo/p type to external send?

Check the logic in the entity adapter ENT_Prov_Permitted_Resources.
This adapter is causing problems when you are trying to assign the resource.

Missing Footer in Billing Document

I have one strange problem. VF31 has been scheduled in background to print billing documents. For some billing documents footer are not getting printed. In spool request also we are not able to view footer. But when we check same billing document output through VF03, it show correct footer and also print correctly.
Why billing documents showing footer when it output through VF31 ?

In output print report Footer determined by validation different variables and it seems during mass processing through VF31, RSNAST00 not get referesh variables which retain previous document values. In simple, clear statement messed up whole billing document output

Create Billing Document from Sales Order (Without Delivery)

Dear Experts,
Pls note, presently we are creating Billing Document (VF01) from Outbound Delivery Number after Post Good Issue. All sales Document like Billing Document, Output Type, Invoice Type has been configured for this process and we are doing this without any error. Fyki, we have configured lots of Z Order, Billing & Delivery type to do this processes.
But for one of this order type we need not do any delivery. We want to create Billing Documents from sales order directly (without doing any Outbound Delivery).
So, would u pls advise the steps how can we configure and assign Order Type, Billing Type or any other type to meet above requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
Ripon

Hi
There are two most important configuration:-
1) In VOV8 for your Order Type maintain the Order Related Billing Document
2) Maintain the Copy control setting in VTFA betwwen your Order Type and billing Type.
Also note that if your line item is not require to be delivered then for your Item category maintain (in VOV7) not relevant for delivery and not relevant for scedule line.

Vendor Billing Document

Hello,
I am currently working on Vendor billing document from Rebates. There are 2 requirements that I would need help with:
1) Would someone know the programme, routine name for vendor billing document WLF1/WLF2. This is send the debit notes by mail to vendors. I have configured output type for message determination with transmission medium 7 (simple mail) and maintained config as PDF in NACE. Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
2) Could I ever turn the accounting documents creation off and if so on what criteria? The requirement is, for import vendors, the payment is collected and managed in Oracle whereas we need rebates for import vendors to be managed in SAP. Hence, we will create rebate agreement in SAP, settle in SAP and raise debit notes in SAP but not accounting document. The other solution for the same issue would be to post credit and debit entries in the accounting document with same value therby nullifying the value of the accounting document. Can someone help me with
a) how to turn the accounting document off
b) how to credit and debit same G/L account thereby to nullify the value.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
