Sending output / forms via Fax

I am trying to configure the output to send our purchase order form via fax.
I have been been able to sucessfully configure the output via transaction NACE for printing and email. I have followed the same configuration steps for defining the fax, however, I am unable to successfully create the output.
The error I receive in the purchase order is "Error in OPEN_FORM for document 45xxxxxxxx"

No unfortunately it does not provide any additional info. I am thinking of following the instructions in the following SAP Note (397691) so that I have a better picture of the error:
"Symptom
If errors occur when purchasing documents are output, the system generates an error message in the message log of the message overview.However, error message ME142 'Error in OPEN_FORM for document &' contains only the information that an error occurred and not the error cause.With the attached source code, the error cause is also displayed in the error message (for example, missing authorization, terminated connection and so on)."

Hi,
For sending smartform output into mail you first have to generate spool request and convert it into PDF and then
only it can be sended into mail, please find the sample code in the mail below:

Output PO via fax

Hi all,
I have setup the PO output via fax. In the PO condition record, I have setup the fax number, country code, etc. But I did not see the output device. How does the system know where to send out the PO via fax?
Any idea?
Thanks.
Tom

Hi,
I have always left this to the BASIS people and so I don't know the detail, sorry.
But you do have to have the technical steps completed before you will see the entry that you can use.
So have a word with your BASIS people about FAX servers first.

Send Payment Advice via Fax & E-mail

Hi,
We would like to send Payment Advices to vendors via Fax & E-mail.
We have put the e-mail and the fax number in the company code specific data of the vendor (i.e. accounting clerk's data) and we have configured the Payment Advice form.
When we make a payment run and select many vendors, we want to be able to:
- send the payment advice for vendor 1, 2 & 3 by fax
- send the payment advice for vendor 4, 5 & 6 by e-mail
The issue is that only 1 PDF is created with the payment advices of all these vendors.
When we want to send it via Fax or e-mail, it will be rejected, because there are different fax numbers/e-mail addresses in 1 PDF document.
Is it possible in a payment run to generate 1 Payment Advice per vendor?
Thank you for your feedback.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hello,
I would like to check
OBY6 - Make sure you have not ticked "No foreign currency exchange rate differences"
OB09 - Make sure sufficient accounts are maintained for account determination with loss and gain accounts.
OBA1 - Check your account determination for different keys
OBYY - Check your account determination in OBYY (probably this must have covered in OBA1)
check also in the configuration in case if have maintained any maximum % rate for foreign exchange differences per company code / per currency.
I would also recommend you to go through
Note 582987 - FB05: Translation postings with missing Customizing
Note 1041579 - Error F5 063 when transferring invoice to accounting

SENDING PDF FORMS VIA MAILS

Dear friends,
I have to developed one object through which i can send
my invoice print in pdf format to the respected users email id.
Can this be also done via using attachment.
We are taking Print using va02 and out put type zsin.
Please help me out.
Thanks and Regards
vivek

Vivek do you mean that you want to create a attachment of type PDF and this dcouemnt is a online document and
can you let me know are you using any ABAP program or a workflow to send the email.
Try like this
In the program you make use of the FM FP_FUNCTON_MODULE_NAME and you have to call the function module that is generated by the above FM.
The Properties of ADOBE forms are associated with the structure FP_FORMOUPUT fill the relevant fields in the structure.
Now after performing the above two steps you need to convert the PDF form to BINARY for this you have to make use of the FM SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY this is because you have to pass the binary content to the workflow conatiner using the Fm SAP_WAPI_WORKFLOW_START by using conatiner parameter of TABLES part.
create a Z BO or if you are familiar with OO ABAP then create a class and inside that class or BO create a method in side this method all you to do is the converted PDF to BINARY for this use
SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING and after converting call the FM SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD.
In SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD you have to pass the document attributes for like name , type title, so for this you have to fill a structure of type SWR_ATT_ID and you have to pass this to SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD and this FM will retrun a DOC ID and you ahve to pass this ID to the TASK and the from TASK to workflow &_ATTACH_OBJECTS& in the workflow is responsible to handle the attachments...

F110 (Automatic payment transactions) forms by FAX

Hi all,
Does someone know how to send F110 form by fax?
We are using the program "RFFOAVIS_FPAYM".
I cant find any options talking about fax neither when executing this program, nor in transaction F110.
Thank you.
Michel.

Hello Michel,
This is a bit tricky, b'coz in FI module you donot have what you call output type :-((
You have to implement the BTE 00002040. Please refer to the documentation for the sample FM which is available SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040.
Plz search in SDN to find out how to implement a BTE.
Good Luck !!!

Suppose if I have all the data in an internal table, I will show it as a normal list OR ALV list output.
