Mail Configurations

You can determine when and to whom e-mail messages are sent in SAP Sourcing by customizing mail configurations in SetupIn a mail configuration, you map pre-defined mail types to Mail Message Templates. You can create and customize a mail configuration for each company within your enterprise.

It is desirable to change the behavior of e-mail notifications during the system implementation process.

Example Example

Adding suppliers to the system before the system is ready to go live: the introductory e-mail to the supplier should be sent, but not until the system is live and in production.
Running test events immediately before go-live with production data: no e-mail notifications should be sent to external users at all.

End of the example.

The Mail Configuration object encapsulates the management and control of the e-mail processing system. SAP E-Sourcing ships with a standard mail configuration that can be customized to suit various needs. The default mail configuration cannot be edited. Rather than creating a configuration from scratch, it is considered a best practice to duplicate the default configuration and make changes to a custom one.

Note Note
