ABAP - Get invoice on function module / report

[c_c2]

Hi all,

I'm facing a little problem. I need to provide the ability to download some invoices in PDF using one RFC. The problem is that i can't find anything to return me that information (in raw, or something else).

Anyone knows a method to get invoice data raw based on invoice nr?

Regards,

Carlos

Why dont you use some BAPI which gives you the Invoice details and convert that to PDF in the calling side?

Also you can make use of RFC_READ_TABLE and read the Invoice tables.

Because I need the invoice with the correct format (smart form) and the correct values, that are not available that way.

You want to download a smartform output remotely?

I want to output the binary from the smartform generated pdf.

You have to design a custom RFC for this.

This RFC will take the invoice number as input, execute the smartform inside this and convert the output to binary content using CONVERT_OTF FM.

Check this link to convert to OTF.

That's not the problem... The problem is that to generate that smart form we cannot use it directly. It has to be called from RLB_INVOICE, on the VF03 Tcode...

Hi,

Can you explain the requirement?

You can send PDF's via output types in VF03.

Thanks,

I know that, but i need to return that PDF through RFC call.

I think you need to copy the RLB_INVOICE and add the logic for calling the FM after the smartform is called.

I can't call the RLB manually, it has field needs that i don't have on the moment...
