Hi Dave,

Oh, o.k., so you all solved this requirement with your own code? That's good.

Hey, that's nice to know I actually provided something new to you about the OSS note! I was very happy when I initially ran across it at the beginning of my project. But, as you saw, hit a roadblock due to our own customization of SAPscript/MEDRUCK and SAPFM06P print program.

This 'exercise' got us thinking about trying to slowly revert back to more 'SAP standard' for MEDRUCK/SAPFM06P. It will be quite a long process to strip out some of the customization that was put in 10 years ago, which may very well already be in standard as of ECC 6.

It seems like a lot of companies are using SmartForms or Adobe forms instead of SAPscript now for the print form in MM?

Dave/HT - any recommendations on one or the other?

Thanks again!
Suzanne

Subject: Troubleshooting PO via Email_Change Sender Name to PO Creator instead of PO Releaser

Hello MM'ers!

I've had OSS Note 561593 applied to our DEV box in order to make the PO creator (not the PO releaser) the sender (as seen in the "FROM" line) of the PO, which is emailed to the vendor. I realize this note is a system MOD, but this delivers exactly what our purchasing stakeholders would like i.e. creator of the order is the sender of the Email.

The actual emailing of the order and the core configuration is working fine with the PO via Email (transmission medium 5) But, there is no effect (no system behavior change) after applying the OSS note i.e. the sender of the PO via Email remains the releaser's name , NOT the creator's name of the PO.

Has anyone had any direct experience with this OSS note and, if so, hopefully you might share your success (or other experience)?

I should point out that, yes, like many, we are using a custom version of the print program (SAPFM06P) and also custom version of MEDRUCK. So, I'm wondering if we have 'commented out' some standard code from either of those, which 'nullifies' or 'blocks' whatever the OSS note code is trying to deliver.

Also, I should say we're on ECC 6.0 EhP 4 (no switches turned on) and our system is set to SMTP.

I'm a functional analyst, so I suppose I should have an ABAPer trace me in test?

Thanks very much!
Suzanne
