Symptom
You want the sender e-mail address of the sales order to be the e-mail address of the sales order employee responsible, but the system takes up the e-mail address of the sales unit.
Environment
SAP Cloud for Customer
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Sales Orders work center.
- Go to the Sales Orders view.
- Open the sales order ABC (ABC represents the sales order ID)
- Choose the Actions button and select Submit.
A mail is sent with the sender e-mail address as the sales unit e-mail address.
Cause
The determination of the sender e-mail address follows below order:
- If the e-mail address of the Sales Unit is maintained in the external sales document, then on sending the e.g. sales order form to the customer an e-mail will be sent with the sender e-mail address as e-mail address of the Sales Unit.
- In case, the e-mail address of the Sales Unit in not found, then the e-mail address of the Employee Responsible will be used.
- If the e-mail address for both the Sales Unit and the Employee Responsible is not maintained, then e-mail address of the Seller will be used as the sender e-mail address.
Resolution
- Go to the Organizational Management work center.
- Go to the Org Structures view.
- Search and Edit the org unit XYZ(XYZ represents the sales unit ID of the sales order ABC)
- In the General facet, under the Communication section, remove the e-mail Address maintained.
NOTE: The same holds true for all other external sales documents like sales quotes. Note, an opportunity, for example, is considered an internal sales document: the opportunity object is designed as an internal document for the sales team inside the selling company.
The sales quote /order are legally binding sales documents which are sent directly to the Buyer via Output (e-mail, fax or post).
Therefore the defaulting of sender e-mail address described here is valid only for such external sales documents like sales quote or sales order.
