  • defined SAPscript as the standard word processing option.

  • Fax number handling has to be configured by your system administrator in SAPconnect:Administration.

Features

  • If you want to send the letter to one applicant in the form of a fax or e-mail, access applicant activity maintenance to send the document. A dialog box is displayed, listing all the fax numbers and Internet addresses of applicants stored in the system.

    Note Note

    The system reads the infotypes Addresses (0006) and Communication (0105) to get the fax numbers.

    The system reads only the Communication (0105) infotype to get the Internet address.

    End of the note.

  • If you want to send the letter to more than one applicant in the form of a fax or E-mail, use recurring tasks to send the document via bulk processing. A predefined search procedure is run in the background, determining the fax number or Internet address for each individual applicant.

    Note Note

    The system reads the Addresses (0006) infotype to get the fax number. The system selects the first fax number created in this infotype. If an entry is not found in the Addresses infotype, the system reads the infotype Communication (0105) and selects the first fax number (if there is one).

    The system reads only the Communication (0105) infotype to get the Internet address.
