Spool – Output
The output controller – Spool Request Selection Screen can be used in transaction code SP01.
This will give you spool requests and output requests by system.
If you wish to limit a user access to their own individual spool requests you can give them access to SP02.
If you wish to completely control the spool and output functionality of a system you can use the administration transaction SPAD (or additionally transaction SPAT.)
When working with output/messages you can access the objects message status in table NAST.
If you are looking for a simple single table overview of all output/message condition types which have a condition record you can use table NACH. (This will give you the Condition Type+Access Sequence Table+Application+Partner function and a variable key which will show you the key fields for the access sequence table.)
External Send – email Output and Transaction SCOT
Question: How does the external sending of email for output messages for example standard Order Confirmation occur with SAPconnect?
Answer: The format of the output must be adjusted to be used by the SMTP email server as used in SAPconnect (transaction SCOT). Here is a quick guideline for email outbound processing only:
1) You have to adjust the profile of the SAP Web Application Server if you want to use the SMTP function. The SAPconnect send job can only be scheduled for servers on which SMTP has been activated. For this reason, you must activate SMTP for all of the SAP system’s application servers. – Use transaction RZ10.
2) You maintain the SAPconnect settings for the SMTP node. For more information on SCOT see standard SAP help: Here
3) Next the original format of your standard output,for example order confirmation output could be in SCR (Standard SAPscript). In this case the SD messages are transferred to SAPconnect in SCR format (SAPscript) these are then converted to OTF format and may be converted to PDF format in accordance with the conversion rules in the IMG.
The configuration for the system is done in “SAP Customizing Implementation Guide–> SAPNetWeaver –>SAP Web Application Server -> Basis Services -> Communication Interfaces -> SAPconnect Client-Wide Settings -> General Settings -> Conversion Rules”.
4) Lastly the emails from the SAP spplication are stored in a queue. A background job needs to be created to collect the emails from the queue and process/send them. You can schedul ethe job in SAPconnect with SCOT as follows:
- From the user menu in SCOT select View–>Jobs
- Select Create
- Enter a job name and confirm it.
- Select the variant SAP&CONNECTALL Sending requests
- Schedule the job to run periodically for example every 10 mins.
For more information, refer to the online documentation for SAPconnect (component BC-SRV-COM).
Function Modules for SD Reports and Smartforms
These function modules are great to get the information used to populate Smartforms and reports in SD.
Remember you can access the data with transaction SE37 and use the test/execute icon [F8].
Smartforms – upload/download
Scenario - you have a smartform in a system and need to move it to another system and for some reason cannot get there with a transport path. Do you know that you can download a Smartform as an XML file to your desktop and then re-upload the smartform in your new system. This will copy the entire form, all logic as well as the global settings and pages and windows. This is especially useful for copying smartforms from ERP to CRM or visa versa. (obviously you will need to adapt a lot of extensive logic when delaing with CRM and ERP (due to different source tables/fields/variables etc. but you may save some time).

SAPconnect emails from SAP output
How do we configure our system to send emails or faxes?
You can use the SAPconnect solution. Monitor the transmission requests with transaction SOST.
You can configure the SMTP server for mail or the RFC destination for faxes with transaction SCOT.
You are also able to do a routing test and internal trace if required.
Output condition record ignored
Tip – Did you know that if you set a output condition record with no printer. The condition record is ignored by the system for example in VV12, VV22, VV32.
