Send SAP order by e-mail – attach document to purchase order
To send emails, you need a solution. This must allow you to process, send and monitor emails in your ERP system.
For sending emails to people outside of your system, you should have features for the following:
-Sender
-Receiver
-Subject
-Text
-Appendixes
SAP message control is not sufficient for this. In addition, users need clear management of correspondence. SAP e-mail traffic must be traceable. Users don’t want to waste time searching for operations. Contact details of the business partners should also be easily organized. Of course, the operation should remain uncomplicated at all times. With the standard, such a solution cannot be realized without programming. For this purpose, we have developed the MailCenter add-ons.
MailCenter – Most SAP customers need a supplement to the SAP standard in order to be able to work productively with the medium mail. This is exactly what we developed the MailCenter for. This add-on makes an important contribution to optimizing processes. It increases productivity in your company. Without mail, you save on printing and shipping costs. You also benefit from fast delivery. For example, if you send the SAP orders by e-mail, you will receive the goods faster from your suppliers. This ABAP add-on fits seamlessly into your environment. And it has already proven its worth with many of our SAP customers.

With this NetWeaver add-on, you can edit and send the document for all transactions directly from ERP. The interface is easy to use. It provides the user with all the important features they need to handle emails. These functions are sender & recipient, texts (HTML), attachments and reporting.
There are many features that make it easier for users. This includes suggestions for deciding who to send something to. Automatically generated text and recommendations on which attachments to attach are also included. This shortens the steps that the user has to take, and some steps are even omitted altogether. Depending on what the user has to do, he decides which methods to use. This greatly simplifies the processes.
SAP MailCenter can send documents directly from a document, a cockpit, or automatically in the background. For example, an offer can be sent quickly and easily from a transaction. However, a reminder can also be sent automatically in the background. If you have special, individual requirements, they can be built in with ABAP extensions.
Find out more about how you can benefit from the features of the MailCenter in our customers’ testimonials.
Do you send orders or quotations in PDF attachments by e-mail from SAP? Should users attach additional attachments to the mails? These are, for example, flyers, a technical drawing, a calculation or general terms and conditions. Such operations are often found in sales and purchasing. Let’s take a closer look at these processes. This is because users today often work awkwardly. Let’s consider the use case: Attach SAP document to purchase order. Before users send the SAP order by e-mail, they first save the business document on the desktop. Then add the document in Outlook as an attachment to a message. If you want to attach additional SAP documents to this Outlook e-mail, repeat this process. The bottom line is that such an approach costs users valuable time.
With the MailCenter add-on, you can easily add more attachments to your mails, in addition to the standard SAP PDF attachments. This works both manually and automatically. The source of the annexes does not matter. This is because the application supports all disks that can be reached by the client. As a result, the process is less prone to errors and saves time. In addition, the mails in the ERP system are fully visible at all times. This makes operations transparent, even for other users. Take a look at the testimonials of our customers. There you will learn more about the benefits of the MailCenter for users.

Files for the attachment can come from a variety of sources.
You add documents as an attachment:
to the e-mail. In any case, existing attachments can be displayed on the screen beforehand. This requires a suitable viewer for the selected file format. Of course, the receiver also needs a suitable viewer. In addition, an automatic assignment to the document is carried out on request for DVS documents. Will the business document in the appendix be sent as a PDF? Or do you need a PDF and an XML? You also define this in Customizing. If necessary, change the text describing the attachment before sending. In any case, the system supports all common file formats for the attachments.
Add attachments manually or automatically – How the attachments are added depends on the process.
On the one hand, the user maintains the attachments manually before sending them, as he is used to from Outlook. It simply attaches one or more files to the email in the attachment. And this for the respective process. Completely individual.
On the other hand, you automatically attach attachments according to an individual set of rules. Of course, you configure the proposal about Customizing. With user exits and ABAP extensions, you can adapt the finding of attachments to the process. Individually adapted to your wishes. Furthermore, a proposal supports the user in the selection of the required documents. We always pursue a goal. To make the process as automated as possible for the user. In short, no matter which way you choose. Adding attachments to mailing is no longer an issue in the future. You certainly have that under control with the program.
Yes, but only certain document types – You activate the use of DMS, Office, and ArchiveLink attachments in Customizing. Here a restriction at the organization and user level is possible. For DVS attachments, you limit the use per organizational unit, document type, and status. All documents with a valid status are available to the user in the MailCenter. By selecting the user, the user determines the documents relevant for shipping. Manually attached or automatically suggested systems can be re-selected at any time. Sometimes the mail server’s policies allow only certain sizes for messages or attachments. Therefore, you define a maximum size for attachments in the configuration. As soon as the maximum size is exceeded, the red lamp goes on. The user receives a hint during the creation. This restricts the use of documents. Furthermore, you influence the selection of attachments with individual ABAP extensions.
The SAP add-on is offered as a standard solution. The application is available in German and English. In addition to the provision of the programs, we take over the initial setup. This setup is carried out after delivery of the application on the basis of a standardized project roadmap. Based on a predefined questionnaire, we determine your requirements. This information will be used to adapt the product to your needs. The program is easy and quick to implement. They didn’t need any more hardware. Simply send the business document from ERP – turn your ERP into a digital mailroom.
We have incorporated the experience gained from a variety of customer projects into this implementation guide. More specifically, the standardized approach speeds up implementation and conserve your resources.
