Send purchase order via email (external send) with special Czech characters

Hi all,
I am sending a purchase order created with ME21N via email to the vendor using "external send".
The mail is delivered without any problems, PO is attached to the mail as PDF file.
Problem is that special Czech characters as "ž" or "u0161" are not displayed, a "#" (hash) appears instead.
This problem occurs when language for PO output = EN.
Tests with language = CS worked out fine, but the whole form incl. all texts are in Czech as well; so no valid solution since it needs to be in English.
We checked SAPCONNECT configuration and raised note 665947; this is working properly.
When displaying the PO (ME23N) special characters are shown correctly as well.
Could you please let me know how to proceed with that issue?!
Thanks.
Florian

Hi!
No, it's not a Unicode system.
It is maintained as:
Tar.          Lang.        Lang.        Output Format                           Dev. type
Format
PDF     EN     English                                                     PDF1
Using this option, character "ž" was not displayed correctly, but "Ú" was ok.
All other Czech special characters are not tested so far.
Thanks,
Florian

  • Sending Purchase order via Email (with CC)

    I implemented the functionality of sending purchasing documents by e-mail (according the oss note 191470) and works. However I need To send the email to the vender email address but also in CC to the person who creates the PO. I mean, when the PO is create the email should be:
    To-> vendor address
    From-> user address
    CC-> user address
    Thanks in advance.

    I am currently encountering the same requirement.I don't think there is a standard solution using external send output as everything I have read will only use the email address in the vendor master.
    In an extreme case you could set up limeted requisitioners as vendor records with a custom partner function and select that in the PO, though that is a bit extreme
    the alternative i'm looking at uses a second output type for SAP office mail (7 simple mail)
    I think its set up is described in the same OSS note  191470.
    Using the partner function MP i've got a manual process whereby the user adds this output message to the PO using the MP partner function. you get a couple of messages about not being able to determine an email address. If you double click on the message line it takes you to the SAP office mail where you can add as many recipient addresses manually as you want. you could also use SAP officemail
    if you can persuade your users to manually enter the email and message this could work. however i'm sure there could be a user exit you could use to populate that value from elswhere
    hope this helps

  • Send Purchase Order via email

    We are sending PO via email using output determination.The problem is that if the number of line items in PO are few it is able to send the pdf file as attachment successfully.
    But if the number of line items is large say 99 its not able to create a PDF it sends multiple mails some blank and other with junk.
    Any suggestions what could be the issue.

    Hi,

    Hi,
    Yes, You can send PO via e-mail to outlook or other mails.
    Pre-requisites are:
    1. Message settings to be done with customized print program (including the logic of selecting the users)
    2. Mail server smtp configuration in SCOT transaction
    3. maintaining e-mail IDs in relevant Masters. eg: for users- SU01, for vendors- in VMR, for buyers:- in Purchase Grps etc.

  • Sending Purchase Orders via mail

    Dear All
    I have configured the necessary settings for sending the Purchase Order via email from SAP.
    However at present the message is not sent directly.Even after executing ME9F and processing the output the message lies in SOST.
    I have to access SOST  transaction and then execute start send process for selection and the  email message then goes to the Vendor.
    Is there any way this can be avoided and we can send the Purchse Order via email withour using SOST?
    Regards

    Go to SM36 transaction and crate new job with program name RSCONN01 and variant SAP&CONNECTINT and save this job. choose start condition immediately with periodic Job and enter period values as per your need ( example 5 mins). This job should automatuically trigger email in SOST.
    Hope this is helpful

  • How to send purchase order via e-mail.

    Please could someone let me know how to send purchase order via e-mail.
    I am an BC.
    e-mailing is functionning however I am not very familiar in settings for MM

    No, you do not need to touch ME_PRINT_PO. You need to put code before and after ME_PRINT_PO in the print program.
    Step 1 - Copy the standard print program SAPFM06P to make a Z version, lets call it ZSAPFM06P
    Step 2 - Copy include FM06PE02 to make a Z version, lets call that ZFM06PE02.
    Step 3 - ZSAPFM06P change the statement "Include FM06PE02" to read "Include ZFM06PE02".
    Step 4 - In include ZFM06PE02 you will find a subroutine called "ENTRY_NEU". In this subroutine you will see it first calls ME_READ_PO_FOR_PRINTING then calls ME_PRINT_PO. Before it calls ME_PRINT_PO just put:
    l_nast-nacha = 1.
    CLEAR l_nast-dimme.
    This means that ME_PRINT_PO will not e-mail, it will create a spool request.
    Step 5 - Still in ZFM06PE02, after ME_PRINT_PO has been called, add new code. First check that ent_retco EQ 0. If it does not then exit.
    Step 6 - Get the spool ID created by ME_PRINT_PO by either moving sy-msgv1 to a variable or select from NAST.
    Step 7 - Call function CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF using the spool ID from step 6, and put the result from table PDF into an internal table you can use later. ALso store the export variable pdf_bytecount, you will need it later.
    Step 8 - Call function SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE using the table from step 7 as content_in and put the results from content_out into a new internal table.
    Step 9 - Add some text into a internal table of type solisti1, this will be the body text of the e-mail.
    Step 10 - Add whatever receivers you want into an internal table of type somlreci1. If you just want it to go to the address that the PO would have gone to anyway, select the e-mail address from ADR6 where the address number = l_doc-xekko-adrnr, that is the data from the PO.
    Step 11 - Populate an internal table of type sopcklsti1 with data relevant to your PDF table from step 8 and the text table from step 9. You will have to put the size of the PDF from step 7 (pdf_bytecount) on the PDF line and the size of the text will be the number of lines of text * 255.
    Step 12 - Add info to a structure of type sodocchgi1. You can add the e-mail title in here, field obj_descr. Also add the size of the PDF and the size of the text from step 12 into doc_size, and give the doc a name in field obj_name. This can be anything, ZPDFPO for example.
    Step 13 - Call SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 using the tables from steps 8, 9, 10 and 11 and the structure from step 12. You can amend the sending e-mail also. Set commit_work to space.
    Step 14 - That is all you need, but I actually call function RSPO_R_RDELETE_SPOOLREQ to delete the spool request created in step 4, then call NAST_PROTOCOL_UPDATE to add some more messages to the processing log of the PO.
    That is all.

  • Sending Purchase Order by Email

    Hi, I need to send the purchase order by email, I've done that, but the vendor has multiple email address, let's say one for their financial dept, and another for the sales dept, I need to send the PO to the sales dept, but the PO is being sent to the vendor's financial dept.
    Thanks.

    Other wise you can create the custom table where you can maintain the email morethan one and define the code in the program of email to determine the appropriate email for vendor based on your logic

  • Sender in Purchase Order via Email

    Hi folks,
    I made the necessary configuration so that the Purchase Orders are sent automatically via Email to the Vendor.
    The problem is: if the Purchase Order has a Release Strategy, the vendor receives the Email from the person who finally released the Order, and not from the guy from the Purchases Department, the one who created the Order, who also is the one who has a daily relation with the Vendor.
    Is there any way that the Vendor receives the email with sender: XXX ( man who created the Order ) instead of YYY ( man who released the Order ).
    Thanks for the help.
    ( Points assured )

    Hello,
    You can change the output condition record (using MN05) to Transmission Time = '3'. So when final approver approves, it will be ready for output. Then using ME9F, the creater can output the PO and so that PO email will be sent by the creater.
    Thanks,

  • Send Purchasing Documents via email/fax to vendor

    Hi all,
    I have a customer requirement wherein Purchasing documents such as RFQ, PO etc need to be sent to vendors via email/fax. To cater to the customer's form requirements, we developed smartforms instead of using the standard MM purchasing smartforms. To call these smartforms in the print programs, we copied the standard print program SAPFM06P and commented out the function module ME_PRINT_PO  in the routine ENTRY_NEU and added the our own code to call the custom smartform. The custom code segment in the print program is attached for reference.
    Now, when we are trying to generate messages for the purchasing documents using output type External Send, the custom program does not pick up the email address maintained in the vendor master and instead picks up email address maintained in RFQ or PO initiator's user profile. We have made the required configuration for SCOT and SOST tcodes.
    We tested the same scenario requirement using the standard print program and got the desired results i.e. the print program picked up the email address maintained in the vendor master. But with this approach, we cannot use our custom smartform.
    Any help in this matter will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Saad

    Hi Biju !
    Thanks for the response but I think you missed the point here. I am using different output types for RFQ and PO as well as different custom smart forms and we are using the same custom print program to generate output for both.
    The issue is with the print program and not the output type as I mentioned that I have already got this thing working on our IDES using the standard print program and standard forms.
    Tomas Talpa's response seems to be helpful. I'll get my technical consultant to amend the code accordingly and see if it works.

  • Send Purchase Order as Email

    Hi all,
    We have set up purchase order emailing using standard SAP and it seems to be working fine.
    We have two problems though:
    1) We would like to insert a standard text in the body of the e-mail that we send to the vendor.
    2) We would also like to send email to muliple recipients. Currently, it will only retrieve 1 email address maintained in the vendor master and send to this email address.
    Have tried searching the forums but did not find anything suitable. Appreciate any help rendered for this.
    Thanks lots.

    Hi All,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. However, I still have the following doubts:
    The actual requirement from the client is after executing the transaction code me9f, the system should automatically send the purchase order to the vendor, cc to the sender and to another specified email address (e.g. the email of the purchasing manager). Also, in this email, it should have a header with the PO number and also a standard email body text. The header is not a problem, but i have diffculty adding the email body text.
    I have tried using distribution list and yes it works, but i am unable to include a email body text in this case, unless the user manually creates an mail message themselves using the transaction code SBWP. However, the client does not want to do this additional step. Hence, is there a way to do this automatically, meaning that the email be triggered upon execution of me9f without any additional steps required. For this to happen, must we specially customize a program?
    Thanks lots.
    Cheers,

  • Send Purchase Order via ALE/IDOCS

    hi,
          How can i send one PO from one client to another via ALE/IDOCS?
          Pls provide few important steps.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Gaurav

    For sending IDOC for Purchase order you will use idoc
    Message type : ORDERS
    Basic Type : ORDERS05
    Create one RFC Destination in SM59 and give that entry in Port in WE21.
    Create Partner profile in WE20 and Port for receiver system in WE21.
    Use your port in Partner profile in WE20.
    In Partner Profile create one entry for Message type ORDERS as Outbound.
    In your tcode when you are creating Purchase order set output message in your header condition for Outbound to send that purchase order to that Partner Profile.
