CL_BCS Creates folder in client's outlook for PDF print.

[Subbaka11]

I am using CL_BCS to send an attachment of Smartform output print which is nothing but a PDF file, however this attachment creates extra folder in Outlook, which requires one extra click to open PDF file.

Is there any solution to send an attachment without this extra folder?       

Actual PDF after clicking the folder.

Can you share code snippet how are you attaching the file? Most likely there is some bug

[Subbaka11]

Thanks for the response Tomas, I have added code in main question. I observed this issue occurs only in web mail outlook (https://outlook.office.com/) not in outlook app. is it something because of Microsoft settings ? In outlook app I can see the PDF without any folder.

This issue got solved,

The actual issue is with acknowledge mails like “Your message has been delivered to the following recipients:” or “Not delivered” which will create unnecessary folder in Outlook I have used below values to suppress these Acknowledge mails/ Folders.

For CL_BCS class

lo_bcs->SET_STATUS_ATTRIBUTES( I_REQUESTED_STATUS = 'N'  ).   

For SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 FM

  RECEIVERS-NOTIF_DEL  = ' '.
  RECEIVERS-NOTIF_NDEL = ' '.
