Excel attachment with SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

I am using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 for sending mail.

It works well with text attachment.

Whereas with excel attachment:

The fn module for sending mail ‘SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1’ gives return code zero.

The excel attachment mail can be seen in transaction SOST. But its process fails stating that it cannot be converted.

(Message : Message cannot be processed as it cannot be converted)

Can anyone suggest me what might be wrong ??

I have tried using the logic mentioned above, however I end up with the following error and the email in my SAP outbox. Would be grateful if any one could help asap.

SX_OUTGOING_VERSION_BUILD G No suitable conversion found for XLS

SX_GENERATE_NDR G Message cannot be processed as it cannot be converted

when i display workflow trace.

Thanks in advance.

You have to change the send node for internet mail (transaction Scot). Under supported address types click the button Set for Internet and change Supported formats to All formats.
