Steps to Send Email with Attachment in ABAP (Background)<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Create document content (subject, body).<\/li>\n
  2. Create an attachment (text, CSV, PDF, etc.).<\/li>\n
  3. Build the BCS object and send.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    REPORT z_send_email_attachment.<\/p>\n

    DATA: lo_send_request TYPE REF TO cl_bcs,
    \nlo_document TYPE REF TO cl_document_bcs,
    \nlo_sender TYPE REF TO cl_sapuser_bcs,

    START-OF-SELECTION.<\/p>\n

    “1. Create Send Request
    \nlo_send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).<\/p>\n

    “2. Set Document (Email Content)
    \nAPPEND ‘Hello,’ TO lt_message.
    \nAPPEND ‘This is a test email from ABAP background job.’ TO lt_message.
    \nAPPEND ‘Regards,’ TO lt_message.
    \nAPPEND ‘SAP System’ TO lt_message.<\/p>\n

    lv_subject = ‘ABAP Email with Attachment’.<\/p>\n

    lo_document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(
    \ni_type = ‘RAW’
    \ni_text = lt_message
    \ni_subject = lv_subject ).<\/p>\n

    “3. Create Attachment (simple TXT file here)
    \nCLEAR lt_attach.
    \nAPPEND ‘Material;Plant;MRP Type’ TO lt_attach.
    \nAPPEND ‘MAT001;1000;PD’ TO lt_attach.
    \nAPPEND ‘MAT002;1100;VB’ TO lt_attach.<\/p>\n

    lo_document->add_attachment(
    \ni_attachment_type = ‘TXT’ ” TXT, XLS, PDF etc.
    \ni_attachment_subject = ‘MARA_MARC_List’
    \ni_att_content_text = lt_attach ).<\/p>\n

    “4. Add Document to Send Request
    \nlo_send_request->set_document( lo_document ).<\/p>\n

    “5. Sender (SAP user)
    \nlo_sender = cl_sapuser_bcs=>create( sy-uname ).
    \nlo_send_request->set_sender( lo_sender ).<\/p>\n

    “6. Recipient (email address)

    \n‘testuser@example.com’ ).
    \nlo_send_request->add_recipient(

    \ni_express = ‘X’ ).<\/p>\n

    “7. Send Email

    Key Points<\/h5>\n
      \n
    • cl_bcs<\/code> framework works in background and supports all formats.<\/li>\n
    • You can attach:\n
        \n
      • TXT\/CSV \u2192 use i_att_content_text<\/code><\/li>\n
      • Binary (PDF, Excel, Word) \u2192 use i_att_content_hex<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Run in background \u2192 email will still be sent (no popup).<\/li>\n
      • Use COMMIT WORK<\/code> \u2192 ensures email is queued in SAPconnect.<\/li>\n
      • Check status in SOST transaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","question-category":[158],"question_tags":[178,369,177],"class_list":["post-7626","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-abap","question_tags-abap","question_tags-email","question_tags-sap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sapewmhelp.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/question\/7626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sapewmhelp.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sapewmhelp.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sapewmhelp.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sapewmhelp.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sapewmhelp.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sapewmhelp.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fquestion-category&post=7626"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sapewmhelp.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fquestion_tags&post=7626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
