Function Module to send email

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is there a Function Module in R/3 that can send external emails?

Thanks!

Roman,

Use FM SO_OBJECT_SEND.

The FM is used extensively in SAP and finding examples should be easy.

I usually use the following function module. I believe that it eventually calls the function module mentioned in the previous post. Here is a sample program.

report zrich_0003 .

data: maildata type sodocchgi1.
data: mailtxt  type table of solisti1 with header line.
data: mailrec  type table of somlrec90 with header line.

start-of-selection.

  clear:    maildata, mailtxt,  mailrec.
  refresh:  mailtxt, mailrec.

  maildata-obj_name = 'TEST'.
  maildata-obj_descr = 'Test'.
  maildata-obj_langu = sy-langu.

  mailtxt-line = 'This is a test'.
  append mailtxt.

  mailrec-receiver = 'someone@somewhere.com'.
  mailrec-rec_type  = 'U'.
  append mailrec.

  call function 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
       exporting
            document_data              = maildata
            document_type              = 'RAW'
            put_in_outbox              = 'X'
       tables
            object_header              = mailtxt
            object_content             = mailtxt
            receivers                  = mailrec
       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.
  if sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  endif.

Hi Rich,

I tried to send a mail to my external mail box using the code segment you have given. But I didn't receive the mail which I had send. Could you please tell me whether I need to do any configuration or something like that for this program to work

Hi Prajesh,

so what's your problem exactly ?

you'll send mail from SAP to outlook / webmail ?

-> so look <b>weblog</b> of Thomas Jung:

call function 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
    exporting
      document_data                    = doc_chng
      put_in_outbox                    = 'X'
    tables
      packing_list                     = objpack
      object_header                    = objhead
      contents_bin                     = html_tab
      contents_txt                     = objtxt
      receivers                        = reclist

...

Hi Andreas,

exactly i want to send mail from SAP to outlook or any other external mail system.could you please tell me what are all things I should taken care?

Hi Prajesh,

Have you configured SAP to talk to an external mail system?

You can do this using SAPConnect (transaction SCOT).

You will need to set up an internet node (you can connect to the mail server using RFC, and also HTTP from 6.2 onwards).

Once you have done this, you will be able to send mail to your outlook.

To look at your 'stuck' messages (the ones that you have sent, but which have not gone anywhere), run transaction SOST.

Cheers,

Brad

Rich is right. You should use SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 or SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 if you want to send attachments along with the mail. These modules are released for customer use and have very good documentation.

Also please see the Weblogs mentioned below:

Sending E-Mail from ABAP - Version 610 and Higher - BCS Interface: /people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/08/sending-e-mail-from-abap--version-610-and-higher--bcs-interface

Sending E-Mail from ABAP - Version 46D and Lower - API Interface: /people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/07/sending-e-mail-from-abap--version-46d-and-lower--api-interface

Cheers,

Using call function "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" in specific program in SAP R/3, i would like to know if it is possible to send a mail on Outlook webmail box in 4.0B Version of SAP?

Roman;

Try adding this section of code to the end of Rich's example:

SUBMIT rsconn01 WITH mode = 'INT'

WITH output = 'X'

EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY

AND RETURN.

If that doesn't work, I concur with Brad that there may be a problem that you can track down in transactions SCOT or SOST.
