Transmission Medium 7: Mail 

Definition

You can create a BOR object of type MESSAGE with a condition record with transmission medium 7. You can store a standard text in the message object. This text can be changed in message editing and is sent as a mail in message processing.

Use

The object type MESSAGE offers all the send options available. For example, you can send your messages to an internal distribution list or to external Internet addresses. You can append notes or attachments to your document or assign the status Reply required to the document.

In the condition record for your transmission medium 7, select Communication and define your object in the usual way from the following screens. If a standard text already exists in the object (for example from an earlier release), you jump directly to the notes maintenance function. The text maintenance or text display functions can be called by selecting Document ® Change or Document ® Display

Integration

The message object is created with the method (‘interface’) IFCREATE, which is appended to the object type MESSAGE. The Business Workplace maintenance screens are then called and the condition record display disappears.
