How do I scan a photo to a file and then send the file as an attachment via email.

How do I scan a photo to a file and then send the file as an attachment via email.

All of this depends largely on what printer /software you have, which Email client you use and to some extent which OS you are running.
Most HP printers have HP Solution Center which is used to set up scanning,choosing where to save,etc. Once a file/photo is scanned and saved to the folder, open the folder.Select the file and at the top of the window should be the option to 'Email'.

Is there a way to send output from a Concurrent Request via email in r12?

We are looking for a way to send emails out from the Concurrent Request output in r12.
Discussions internally have involved using Unix procedures/commands but we were looking for an EBS integrated solution if one is available.
I did find document 811716.1which seems to provide a solution, but the patches and information given are for 11i (we are r12). If this functionality is available in r12, is there any further documentation we can use?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Invoice output as PDF attachment via email.

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein an invoice when saved should generate a mail output (external send) with the invoice as a PDF attachment. I have the system set up for external send & scot settings but am stuck up with the PDF attachment. I also have the same requirement for PO output (because I look into both SD and MM). Any help on either of them would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Vidya Sagar

Hi,
[External Send - Sending PO by email|http://www.sap-img.com/materials/external-send-sending-po-by-email.htm]:
In order to send PO, your Basis team must configure the system first so that external email can be send out from SAP. If it is not configured, no settings you do on MM will work.
1. You must maintain email address in vendor master data.
2. The same applies to your user master data. 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).
3. Use the standard SAP environment (program 'SAPFM06P', FORM routine 'ENTRY_NEU' and form 'MEDRUCK') as the processing routines.
4. In the condition records for the output type (for example, Transaction MN04), use medium '5' (External send).
5. 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.
6. To be able to display, for example, the e-mail in Outlook, enter PDF as the format in the node.

Srilatha.

Sending SAP Script output as a PDF attachment through mail

Dear Guru,
I am using SAP 4.0B version, DATABASE Oracle 8i, OS is sun solaris 7.5.
I want to send SAP script output as a
PDF attachement through mail.Please suggest a solution.
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
In your print program, while calling OPEN_FORM, pass options-TDGETOTF = 'X'. This is used for returning print output in OTF format.
Then in CLOSE_FORM, get the table OTFDATA returned from the function module. for example
DATA: OTF_DATA LIKE ITCOO OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
      IMPORTING
        RESULT = RESULT
      TABLES
        OTFDATA = OTF_DATA.
now you can convert this OTF data to PDF using function module CONVERT_OTF
Then send this data as attachment to a mail using function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1
Regards,
Komal.

Send spool list ceated by Job (SM36) as pdf-file via email

We are running the report RM06EFLB (Transaktion ME84 - "Create Releases") in the background.
The Job is creating a spool list with 17 pages.
I want to send this 17 pages (in a readable form) to a number of persons.
This did I try so far:
- Distribution list with Recipient type "via Internet" as Spool list recipients in the Job. (Tried different formats for ABAP List in Transaction SCOT)
=> Email is send to recipients, attachment is readable depending on format.
     Problem: attachment is not complete, it contains only about 15 pages (985 rows).
- Distribution list with Recipient type "Internal User - SAP-Office" as Spool list recipients in the Job.
=> Document is sent to Business Workplace
     Problem: attachment is not complete, it contains only about 15 pages
Any ideas how to get the complete spool list?
Is there mayby a report around that is sending a spool list as pdf-file via email to a number of recipients?
(Would like to maintain this Report as an additional step in the job. The spool-number should be selected from the previous step.)
Thank you for your help.
Jens

Oh sorry - here is the coding which is used in that program:
First use function module 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' to convert the spool entry into pdf.
Loop at output table PDF and concatenate all lines into a string. Convert string to xstring.
Then call mail class:
DATA: lv_pdf_x TYPE xstring,
        lv_subject TYPE string,
        lv_doc_desc TYPE so_obj_des,
        lv_mail_body TYPE soli_tab.
DATA: ls_atta TYPE rcf_s_att4mail_hex,
        lt_atta TYPE rcf_t_att4mail_hex.
* -- Fill parameter
lv_subject = 'Requested Report'."#EC NOTEXT
lv_doc_desc = 'Report XXL'."#EC NOTEXT
* lv_mail_body = ?
ls_atta-name = lv_doc_desc.
ls_atta-extension = 'PDF'.
ls_atta-content = p_pdf_x. <- This is your xstring
APPEND ls_atta TO lt_atta.
TRY.
      CALL METHOD cl_hrrcf_services_mail=>send_web_mail
        EXPORTING
          p_subject              = lv_subject
          p_receiver             = p_receiver->email_address
          pt_atta_hex            = lt_atta
          p_sender               = p_sender->email_address
          p_body_c               = lv_mail_body.
    CATCH cx_hrrcf.
ENDTRY.
I hope that you have the above mentioned class in your system but it should work with other email functions as well.
Regards
Nicola

How do you send an attachment via email created on a mac

how do you send an attachment via email to another recipient who does not have a mac?

As long as you send it in a recognizable format such as a .jpeg (or .jpg) used for most photos/images or .pdf used for a lot of word processing docs, there is no problem. Also, while in the Mail window, choose "send Windows compatible". It's not who or what you create it on, it is the format you send it in.

Sending a binary attachment via email, looking for a more clean way

Hi experts.
I finally managed to send a binary attachment via email. Why "finally"? Never done before!
Also I got to manage the "not standard" .SAP file extension, because the attachment is a transaction link.
So let me explain how i did it:
take SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, filling following input data:
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
    EXPORTING
      document_data              = st_docdata
      commit_work                = 'X'
    TABLES
      packing_list               = lt_packlist
      contents_hex               = lt_hex
      contents_txt               = lt_content
      receivers                  = lt_recv
    EXCEPTIONS
      too_many_receivers         = 1
      document_not_sent          = 2
      document_type_not_exist    = 3
      operation_no_authorization = 4
      parameter_error            = 5
      x_error                    = 6
      enqueue_error              = 7
      OTHERS                     = 8.
But how to fill lt_hex? Well I did not found a way to transfer text data into raw data structure (lt_hex is type SOLIX).
So, here is the trick:
fill another table, lt_bin type SOLISTI1, with attachment content (text data);
dump lt_bin content to a file on application server, having care to specify TEXT MODE and UTF-8 encoding;
now reopen the same file in BINARY MODE and transfer content to lt_hex.
Why I did not use parameter
content_bin
? Because SAP ECC 6 is unicode enabled (I think UTF-16) and file has got to be UTF-8 or ASCII. Also, packing_list for attachment must specify binary tranfer mode. And doing so each UTF-16 character (2 bytes) is split into 2 characters (1 char + 1 NUL byte). Attachment is now unusable.
What is the question? Here it is: how to fill lt_hex data directly from text (UTF-16) data, avoiding conversion errors?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Chhayank,
the problem is not the exported xls. If you have a look inside with Notepad or something like that, you will see that your leading zeros are exported correct.Excel-settings occurs this problem, it is all about how to open the document. If you use the import-assistant you will have no problems because there are options available how to handle the different columns.
Another solution might be to get familiar with ABAP2XLS-Project. I got in my mind, that there is a method implemented, that will help you solving this problem. But that is not a five minute job

To send the Payload as PDF Attachment in mail in PI 7.1

Hi All,
I have to send a file as PDF attachment using a mail adapter. I gave the Content_Type as 'application.pdf'. I am receiving the mail, but I am unable to open the PDF. It says 'Could not open because the type is not supported or unable to decode'. How do I resolve this?
Thanks,
Geetha
