Setting up receiver type Business Partner

Until now you have used the Receiver Type User along with the Receiver logname$. See Setting up a report rule.

This setup allowed you to send the email to the current LN user. If you want to send your request for quotation to the contact or business partner linked to that request, you must change the receiver type of the document type.

  3. Change the Receiver Type to Business Partner, and save the record.

  6. Select and open the report rule for report tdpur140101002.
  7. On the Variables tab, change the Expression of the receiverfield variable to: tdpur105.otbp
  8. Save the record, and click Validate.
  9. Start the Recipient Sets (tccom6140m000) session to extend the business partner data.
    Add a new recipient set for Recipient Type Business Partner and import all business partners or a selection into the recipient set.
    You must specify the destination (email, print, or custom) per business partner for each document type.
    For more information, see the session help.
