Note: Before posting this question, I have thoroughly searched and reviewed most of the already posted questions and discussion but I couldn't find any new answer so posting same question again to check if there is any latest.

Hi All,

Is it technically possible to send an email with .XLSX document as an attachment using CL_BCS service class? Why there is no OSS note to support .XLSX document types ?

With regards,

Prasad

i suspect you are looking for a standard solution and answer, but i never found it.

The best workaround i found is to use ABAP2XLSX project and package https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/abap2xlsx

Yes, it is possible to send .XLSX (and other files with 4 characters extension).

Maybe you are looking for workaround with "SO_FILENAME" ?
