PO -external send or email

I m doing PO e-mail or external send to vendor settings .
I have maintained condition records and all SPRO required settings.
Still NEU output is not triggering while creating PO.
Is there something to do in user profile to get this done?
User profile/ Parameters any valu I need to add?
pls advise
Thx

Follow this and check all youe config.
PO Email:
Basically there are two mail types: Internet mail (external mail) and SAPOffice mail.
Mail is sent via the output determination in both cases.
If you use the external mail, the message for the purchasing document is converted into a corresponding text file which is sent to the vendor via the Internet.
SAPOffice mail is sent only within the R/3 System and has mainly the function of providing information.
In particular, it is not possible to attach a message (form) for a purchasing document to a SAPOffice mail.
When using external mail, the following basic settings are required:
1. You must maintain an e-mail address in the address in the vendor master.
2. The same applies to your own user master. You also have to specify an e-mail address there in order to identify the sender.
o Note that it is not possible to change the e-mail address of the vendor
o You can use a temporary email address in Transaction ME21N.
3. For the output type for default values, a communication strategy needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports the e-mail.
You can find the definition of the communication strategy in the Customizing via the following path: (SPRO -> IMG -> SAP Web Application Server -> Basic Services -> Message Control -> Define
Communication Strategy). As a default, communication strategy CS01 is delivered. This already contains the necessary entry for the external communication. Bear in mind that without a suitable communication strategy it is not possible to communicate with a partner via Medium 5 (external sending).
4. Use the standard SAP environment (program 'SAPFM06P', FORM routine 'ENTRY_NEU' and form 'MEDRUCK') as the processing routines.
5. In the condition records for the output type (for example,Transaction MN04), use medium '5' (External send).
6. You can use Transaction SCOT to trigger the output manually. The prerequisite for a correct sending is that the node is set correctly. This is not described here, but it must have already been
carried out.
7. To be able to display, for example, the e-mail in Outlook, enter PDF as the format in the node.
To use the SAPOffice mail, the following basic settings are required:
1. For the output type for default values, a communication strategy needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports the e-mail.
You can branch to the maintenance of the communication strategy via the input help.
2. Use the SAP standard environment (program "RSNASTSO" and FORM routine "SAPOFFICE_AUFRUF") as the processing routines.
3. In the condition records for the output type (for example,Transaction MN04), use medium '7' (SAPOffice) and also partner role 'MP' (mail partner).
Additional settings:
Problem:
How can you both change the mail title and text for the sending of a mail message and maintain a replacement parameter, for example a document number.
Solution:
1. The replacement routine is maintained in the Customizing for the output type in the detail screen on the 'General data' tab under 'Replacement of text symbols' (for Release < 4.6B, this can be found on the 'Mail' tab page).
Program: SAPMM06E
FORM routine: TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE
2. Maintain mail title and text.
o If you want to send a purchase order within an R/3 system using the SAP office, you can maintain both the mail title ('Re:') and also a mail text in the Customizing for the output type To do this, select the directory mail title and text for the corresponding message type.
o If you want to send a purchase order as (external) mail, for example, to a vendor, you have to maintain the mail title in the condition record for the output type (for example in Transaction MN05) on the 'Communication method' tab page. Enter the mail title in the 'Text for cover page' field. You cannot maintain an additional mail text.
o Note that the values from the mail title are used to create the description for the attachment.
3. The replacement parameters must be enclosed by &. Example: You want to enter the title 'PO number '. For this you have to enter the following in the Document Title field (Message Customizing ->
sub-option: Mail title and texts) 'PO number &EKKO-EBELN&'

How to send mails to External Email-ID.

I have simple Workflow which I have Created to Just Send Mail to SAP-B WorkSpace on execution of the WF.
Can Anyone tell me how to Many populate the Workflow to Send this mail to External Email-ID.
Regards,
Shashank

Hello,
In the sendmail step of the workflow, use the option of email address for 'Recipient type' and provide the workflow container element which has the external mail address of the user to whom the mail is to be sent or directly the email address directly. Then contact the basis people to check for any scheduled background job to send the mail from SAP to external mail address. If there is no job present, advise them to create one.
Hope this will help.

Samson

Sending mail to external e-mail id in workflow

Hi
I am trying to send a mail to external e-mail id in workflow,i selected recipient type as e-mail address and i gave the e-mail id.
But im not getting any mail.Please help me.

First check via tcode SOST if your workflows sends the e-mail to the stack. If yes, you should see your e-mail in this transaction, with a yellow icon. If this is so, you need to configure SMTP via tcode SCOT. If no, there's a problem in your workflow (you might want to check the workflow log in this case, via tcode SWIA).
To configure SMTP, follow this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/2b/d925bf4b8a11d1894c0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm

Sending mail to external mailid from user exit EXIT_SAPLEBNF_005

Hai ALL,
iam facing problem with sending mail to external id from user exit exit_saplebnf_005 , this user exit for ROLE Determination of releasing of PO .

through workflow the mails are send to workplace of resposible person maintained in ztable.
now user requirement is they want some intimation in their outlook for they got mail in workplace .
can anybody help me.
Thanks .
sushmita.k

they can either define automatic forwarding in their SAP office to external e-mail OR they can set their external e-mail as preferred method of communication and they should receive mail to their external mailbox assuming that sending to external mail is supported in your system (check with BASIS folks).

Send mail to external address using send mail step.

Hi all,
I have one question.
In a send mail step of workflow, when the recipient type is a Organizational Object and Org Unit, the mail is only sent to workplace? I would need to send the mail to external address from all users of Org Unit. Is possible it?
Thanks
Regards,
David.

Hi,
1) In the Recipient type select the E-Mail address from the drop down
2) And give the email id (in the text box)
3) Then save & test it.
4) Once it execute goto t.code SOST and see the email entry.
5) If entry not found, the SCOT settings is not done then check with Basis Team
6) If found, select it and execute.
7) And check you email

Problem in workflow sending mails to external domains like yahoo,gmail etc.

hi
i have one probs in my workflow that when i am sending mail to an external id it is not going to gmail,yahoo or hotmail etc.
it is being send to a particular domain say XYZ
but outside it ,no mail is send
and error is coming that recepient is unknown
we have firewalls being placed on smtp
and each and every setting in SCOT has been checked thorughly
but still mail except to one domain is not going outside
i have came across the info that since SAP doesn have any user id authentication but SMTP does has ,so when mail is being send outside the mail sending is failed,one option could be to disable the authentication at SMTP but thats doesn come inside the policy of client
so i think there must be a way out in SAP to deal with this
please suggest how can i send the mails externally,i ahve checked each and every thing inside my SMTP configuration ,adress is defined as * here but still mail is being send to internal domain of the client in which i am working ,but not at all to the external domains like gmail,yahoo etc.
any help will be highly appreciated
best regards
ashish

Hi Ashish,
I think you will need to check with your exchange guys because probably the exchange server will not relay the messages form the SAP server to external e-mail domains.

Martin

Failed to send mail to external domain via portal

Hi Gurus,
By following the configuraion instructions in SAP library - Collaboration - Groupware - Installing and Configuring E-Mail Connectivity, I managed to send mail to recipients who reside in same domain e.g. [email protected] via portal.
However, I failed to send mail to external domain e.g. [email protected]. I got the following error message:
The mail could not be sent to the specified recipients com.sap.ip.collaboration.gw.impl.transport.javamail.exception.MailSendException: The mail could not be sent to the specified recipients

 at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:320)
Please help.
Thanks alot.

Hi Ajey,
Thanks for your reply. I had tried your suggestion but same problem occurred with same error output.
Actually, I encounterred this error message before in my Microsoft Outlook, where System Admin returned me a mail saying that, my mail was undeliverable with the same error message. But this can be solved by applying the Internet Email Account Setting - Outgoing Server - My outgoing server (SMTP) require authentication.
So I am wondering,
1) This problem is caused by SMTP server?
2) Is there any workaround (like the Outlook Setting) I can configure in Portal?
Do you have any idea?
Thanks,
HauChee
