Send an invoice in the moment it saved....

Question

Hi,
  I don't know if it's possible but it's a requirement: In the transaction VF01 (create an invoice) in the moment when it's being saved the user want to send and email with the invoice attached. I develop a program to do that but in the tr VF03, in the moment they select output invoice they choose by email and sent it. But now they want that in the moment the create the invoice, it send by email automatically. Is it possible??

You can do this using standard output processing.  You need to have a understing of how to configure output types.  If you know how to do this, then you know that there is a communication strategy tied to an output type and that there are communication types tied to communication strategies.  You need to use a communication type that your system uses for sending emails.  If you don't know how to configure output types, then you need to get someone to help you with that.  It's too much to explain it here.  You also need to be using one of the standard processing programs for the output(or a copy of it).  That program will understand how to utilize the communication strategy.  If you have created your own program, then you will need to look at one of the standard programs and understand how to handle the emailing.  When you create the condition records for the output type, you specify which partner to use to determine where the email will go.  For example, we use the bill to partner.  The email will then go to the email address stored in the customer master for the bill to on the invoice.  Through configuration of the output type, you can make the emails happen automatically when the invoice is created.
Hope this points you in the right direction.
