Sending Smartform as fax

Hi All ,
I have a requirement in which i need to send Smartform output as a Fax . fax number will be filled dynamically in the program in a  internal table .
Any pointer to will be useful .
If You can send a sample code it would be best ,
Regards
Saurabh Garg

I don't have any code but this is the notes i've tought it would be helpfull to you. ANd before this your system should be configured for the Fax settings.
Another important field is DEVICE where in the type of output type device is specified. The possible set of values is PRINTER, TELEFAX and MAIL. The default is PRINTER. If the TELEFAX is chosen it shows a dialog box where in all the fax parameters can be entered. This dialog box can also be suppressed. And the preview option can be enabled. The problem here is it will not give any exception or prompt the user to enter the Fax Number and its parameters even if they are not maintained properly. So take care of maintaining them in the OUTPUT_OPTIONS parameter.
Key Note: Fax the output.
          TDTELELAND used to refer to the 2 digit country code. The country key                contains information which the system uses to check entries such as the                length of the postal code or bank account number.
   TDTELENUM and TDTELENUME Telecommunication number, as it is       dialed in the receiving country. The country dialing code is      automatically      added. Alternatively an '&' can be used as the first character to disable      number testing and number formatting.  In this case you must enter the      complete number, inclusive of country dialing code but without the      exchange.
     TDFAXUSER SAP: Office user name. Default is user’s name.
     TDSCHEDULE: Using this field the send mode can be set like whether it       is to be send immediately ( Value ‘IMM’)or at night ( Value ‘NIG’).
     TDSENDDATE: This is requested send date.
     TDSENDTIME: This is requested send time.
     BCS_REQST: This contains the mode in which the request status is sent      back. If it is set to ‘N’ no status is to be returned, if ‘E’ only error status is      to be returned and if ‘A’ all statuses are to be returned.
     BCS_STATUS: Setting for Which Statuses Are Reported by Mail. If it is           set to ‘N’ no status is to be returned, if ‘E’ only error status is     to be returned and if ‘A’ all statuses are to be returned.
     BCS_COMMIT: This is a general flag that is specifically does not have any use. This can be used to pass any other flag from the program.

    Hi,
    Then, you can test the FAX fuctionality like:
    go to System->Short Message->give a test message,give recipient as the FAX number,type as FAX->Shift+F8 the see if it works... else only SCOT errors will be there...

  • Problem while sending Smartform through Fax

    Hi Folks,
    I am sending a Smartform through fax by setting the essential Control Parameters and Output Options while calling the function module of the Smartform.
    In SOST I get the status message 710(Message transferred to node FAX(...) ) and later in around 20 minutes the message 812(No delivery to FAX(.......fax no) ) occurs for some requests.
    Only few requests are sent successfully by the same program and same O/P Type and shows the status message 701(Delivered to FAX (................)).
    There is no much time difference between those requests while creating.
    Do you know what could be the problem?
    Can you help me in solving the issue?

    may it be that in those cases where it doesnt work, that you got no fax number?
    Since it works soemtimes, it seems there are no errors, but rather in some cases some important info is missing, fax number may be one of thsoe important info in a FAX scenario.

    Hi,

    Hi,
    Check this sample code helps your purpose.If so,kindly reward points by clicking the star on the elft of reply,if it helps.
    The following program shows you how to send a fax from within ABAP/4. The report is delivered
    in the standard system and is used in Transaction SCOM for the function "Send test fax".
    Only the method via the call of SAPscript with DEVICE='TELEFAX', described below, ensures the
    generation of a correct transmission request, independent of the R/3 release and of the used
    fax server solution and its configuration.
    The regular printing (for example, with NEW-PAGE PRINT ON...) on an output device created in
    the spool administration of the device class 'Telefax' does generally not work!

  • Sending smartform by fax with fm 'CONVERT_OTF_AND_FAX'

    Hi all,
    i'm having problems with the sending of smartforms by fax using the fm 'CONVERT_OTF_AND_FAX'.
    Precisely, i have written a fm that does the following steps:
    1- calls the smartform passing the parameter control_parameters as
            ls_control_param-device = 'TELEFAX'.
            ls_control_param-getotf    = 'X'.
            ls_control_param-no_dialog = 'X'.
           CALL FUNCTION lf_fm_name
              EXPORTING
                  control_parameters = ls_control_param
             IMPORTING
                    job_output_info    = job_output_info
    2- sets the parameter faxoption of the fm 'CONVERT_OTF_AND_FAX' as
                 faxoptions-tdotftype = 'ASC'.
                 faxoptions-faxformat = 'ASC'.
                 faxoptions-tddevice = 'TELEFAX'.
                 faxoptions-tdteleland = 'IT'.
                 faxoptions-tdtelenum = faxnumber.
                 faxoptions-tdsenddate = sy-datum.
                 faxoptions-tdsendtime = sy-uzeit.
                 faxoptions-tdcover = ' '.
                 faxoptions-tdtitle = 'Fax di Prova ASC'.
             the faxnumber format is:
                          dialling code + fax number
             for example, if the dialling code is 06 and the fax number is 123456789, the value assigned to faxoptions-tdtelenum is 06123456789
    3- calls the fm 'CONVERT_OTF_AND_FAX' as follow (the table otf_data is taken from the smartform)
                  CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_AND_FAX'
                      EXPORTING
                           faxoptions         = faxoptions
                           user               = sy-uname
                      TABLES
                           otf                = otf_data[]
                   COMMIT WORK.   
    The fm seems to be working because the document to be sent is accounted on the SOST transaction, but after i send it by SOST, the fax recipient doesn't receive nothing.
    Why? There are some additional parameters to be added?
    Thanks.

  • Problems when trying to send a smartform through fax

    Hi,
    Im currently confronting a problem when sending smartforms through fax to multiple recipients.
    This is the scenario Im working on:
    The client needs to be able to send a document, could be a PO or invoices, to diferent recipients at the same time. So far in case of purchase orders, we have been able to find the respective faxes and emails for each of the partner functions.
    Functionality for email is working as desired but when sending faxes I have problems.
    Reviewing the output through SOST I get all my receipients which are email and faxes. Emails are fine since it creates a PDF attachment with the order and all of its details.
    For fax I get the same even though the paramenters are set for fax.
    Here is my code if you could please help me here on this one.
    SELECT lifn2 FROM EkPA into l_ekpa-lifn2
                 WHERE EBELN = a_EBELN.
        APPEND l_EKPA.
      ENDSELECT.
      SELECT adrnr
        FROM lfa1
        INTO itab-q_adrnr
        FOR ALL ENTRIES IN l_ekpa WHERE lifnr = l_ekpa-lifn2.

  • Send smartform output as Fax

    Hello All,
    I have a requirement where i need to send the PO reminder smartform output to the user as Fax.
    Same is sent using the Program SAPFM06P using the form routine ENTRY_MAHN, which uses 2 FM's, but for SAP Scripts.
    Can anybody guide me over same requirement using smartforms.
    Waiting for useful pointers.
    Thanks in advance...

  • Configuration to send the smartform through fax

    Hi,
    I have used CONVERT_OTF_AND_FAX and SO_OBJECT_SEND FM's to send the smartform through fax.After executing SO_OBJECT_SEND function module,I am getting sy-subrc alue as 9(OBJECT_NOT_SEND).I am able to send the document through fax.But when I click on display in SOST transaction it is just printing the output of the smartform.It is not coming in PDF format.
    The code looks fine.I think there is some problem with confuration settings.Is there any configuration to be done to send the smartform  output through fax?
    Please reply.
    Regards,
    Hema

    Hi,
    Actually,my requirement is to send the smartform output through email with medium 'external send'.I have done some coding for that.it is working fine and I am able to send the smartform through email and open the attachment in PDF format.
    But if the email id of the recipient is not present then the smartform output has to be sent through fax with the same medium 'external send'.
    So I have done some coding to send the smartform through fax when the email id is not present.
    I am able to send the output of smartform through fax.But when I clicked on display in SOST transaction,it is not coming in PDF format.It is coming in RAW format.
    Is it possible to send the smartform output through fax with medium 'external send'?

    Hema

  • To send smartform output through email and fax

    Hi,
    I need to send smartform output through email if the email address is present else if the email address is present then it has to be sent through fax.If both the email address and fax are present,then it has to send an email.
    Now the issue is I am able to send the email and I am getting the message as 'Output was successfully issued'.But the entry corresponding to this is not shown in SOST transaction.
    Can anyone tell me what would be the reason for this?

    HI,
    Try to look in transaction SCOT

  • Send smartform as pdf attachment through Email on ECC 5.0

    I have been trying hard to do this, but am not able to send attachment. Below are the problems -
    1. If sometimes the mail goes, the attachment is empty.
    2. if i use COMMIT_WORK = 'X' in FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 , it throws a dump - ' Invalid COMMIT WORK in an update function module.'
    3. If i comment COMMIT_WORK = 'X', it gets executed successfully but, in the program i get a dump 'UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHAR' exception.
    Can someone suggest, what settings are required in SAP to send smartforms as PDF attachments. Also, please suggest how can i remove the dump. If anyone can give me a working program, it will be very very helpful.

  • HP OFFICEJET PRO 8600 PLUS UNABLE TO SEND OR RECEIVE FAXES

    I've had this Officejet 8600 about a year with no problems whatsoever. I scanned a document to computer earlier this week and when the scan finished, I received the message "unable to send or receive faxes."  I've been all over the forum, tried everything on the "Cannot send and receive faxes" page.  My connections are all good, I'm using a two-wire phone cord.  Just out of the blue, it quit.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hello aimtheflame,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving a message stating "Unable to send and receive faxes" using the Officejet 8600 Plus. I will do my best to assist you! Just to clarify, are you able to scan or copy a document successfully?
    If so, then I need to find out what type of added features do you have on this fax phone line? Did you change anything recently on this line? I would suggest following this entire HP document on Cannot Send or Receive Faxes. Try running a fax test report to verify if anything fails.
    Also, try turning off error correction mode on your printer:
    1. Press the Right arrow, then press setup (Wrench)
    2. Press Fax menu, press advanced fax setup
    3. Press error correction mode to off
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not send or receive fax

      I have connected the fax machine to the phone outlet, the fax machine dials to another fax machine, the connection sounds like it is being made (the receiving fax machine sends out a noise signalling that it has received a phone call) and then the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus says that is is "Connecting" but no fax is sent. Nor can I receive a fax, even though the phone rings on the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.   The error code I get is Error 388 which is that a communication error occurred during fax transmission.  However, this message occurs regardless of the fax number that I send to, and I had the recipient check that the receiving fax machine was working fine for transmittals from others.
    Is it possible that the proble is that  I cannot send or receive faxes through a digital phone line?  That seems odd to me given that almost all phone lines in the modern era are digital.  How do I send and receive faxes with the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus if the only phone lines available are digital?  Also, 4 months ago, I used the same phone line for the same machine, and the fax function worked, but my phone provider assures me that the only phone lines that they have ever provided are digital.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    I am sorry to hear you are having issues with the fax functionality on your Officejet 8600 plus. I have found a document that has several troubleshooting steps you can try to narrow down the issue. I know some of these steps you have already done, but there might be a few that you haven't, like there is a HP test fax service you can use to test functionality.
