SAP ABAP Default Sender Approaches

The document outlines various approaches to set a default sender in SAP ABAP ECC 7.0 using different classes and methods, including CL_SAPUSER_BCS for SAP users, CL_CAM_ADDRESS_BCS for internet email addresses, and dynamic sender options. Each approach has its pros and cons, such as auditability, flexibility, and the need for code changes. Additionally, it provides a summary table comparing flexibility, code requirements, and typical use cases for each method.

Approaches to Set Default Sender in

SAP ABAP ECC 7.0 (CL_BCS)


1. Using CL_SAPUSER_BCS (SAP User as Sender)
Code Example:

DATA(lo_sender_user) = cl_sapuser_bcs=>create( 'TECHUSER' ).


lo_bcs->set_sender( lo_sender_user ).

 Pros:

 Sender is tied to an SAP user.


 Good for auditability and traceability.

 Cons:

 Requires that the SAP user has an email address maintained in SU01.

2. Using CL_CAM_ADDRESS_BCS (Internet Email Address as Sender)


Code Example:

DATA(lo_sender_email) =
cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( '[email protected]' ).
lo_bcs->set_sender( lo_sender_email ).

 Pros:

 No need for a real SAP user.


 Useful for generic senders (e.g., 'no-reply').

 Cons:

 Email domain must be allowed by SAPconnect (SCOT).

3. Use SY-UNAME (Dynamic Sender Based on Logged-In User)


Code Example:
DATA(lo_sender_user) = cl_sapuser_bcs=>create( sy-uname ).
lo_bcs->set_sender( lo_sender_user ).

 Pros:

 Dynamic and user-specific.


 Good for interactive scenarios.

 Cons:

 May not work well in background jobs if background user has no email.

4. System Default via SO16 (No Code Required)


Code Example:

SO16 → Communication Method → Set default sender address

 Pros:

 No code change required.


 Applies to all BCS emails without an explicitly set sender.

 Cons:

 Not program-specific.
 Harder to control or audit at the program level.

5. Custom Sender Configuration Table


Code Example:

SELECT SINGLE sender_email INTO @DATA(lv_sender)


FROM zmail_sender_config
WHERE progname = sy-repid.

IF sy-subrc = 0.
DATA(lo_sender_email) = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( lv_sender ).
lo_bcs->set_sender( lo_sender_email ).
ENDIF.

 Pros:

 Flexible and configurable.


 Easy to maintain without code changes.
 Cons:

 Requires custom development and maintenance of the Z-table.

6. BAdI or Enhancement Spot (Advanced)


Code Example:

Implement BAdIs like SXS_INTERFACEMAIL or enhancement spot CL_BCS

 Pros:

 Centralized email control.


 Reusable across programs.

 Cons:

 Complex setup.
 Requires careful design to avoid side effects.
