Enable fax transmission for SAPoffice and send a test fax, e.g., from SAPoffice (SO02).

Application settings

Set message conditions and connect document types to be faxed to the appropriate transmission media (for each document type that will be sent by fax).

Sample

After a document is sent from an application, if it has been requested via the SAPoffice interface, it will be visible in the sender’s outbox. At the conclusion of the next SAPconnect transmission process (which corresponds to the job’s scheduled time of transmission), it will appear in the recipient’s inbox.

Due to some variations in settings by release and/or previously configured parameters, the SAP-specific configuration can be fine-tuned telephonically after a connection with Retarus is set up.
