Add attachment to offline approval mail when 'visible internally'flag is set

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Our requirement is that if the requestor attaches a document to a shopping cart, while going for approval to the approver the attachment/s should go along with the mail.

Well as of now the attachment goes to the approver when the requestor does not check the 'Visible Internally' checkbox in the portal but in turn; once the shopping cart is approved and turns into a PO the attachment goes to the supplier as well.

When the 'Visible internally' flag is checked then the attachment does not go to the approver in the offline mail, rather he needs to login into portal to view the attachment.

So is there anyway that when the visible internally flag is set the attachment should go to the approver in the offline mail but not to the supplier when the shopping cart becomes a PO.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Catherine.

Hi Catherine,

Since note 1606781 internal attachments are not sent anymore. As Internal attachments  are intended to be shown to the purchaser only.

If you want to change the standard design, you can remove the condition "internal_ind NE abap_true" from the report.

Hello Melina,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Well can the MAIL_CREATE method of the BBP_OFFLINE_APP_BADI be used to add attachments to the offline mail?
