Key actions which can be performed are:

• Perform another TROPOS transaction or group of transactions automatically
• Send a message to another system

configured to recognise when goods have been received from the supplier, automatically book the
goods into stock, raise an invoice, match the goods receipt note to the invoice, clear the invoice to
the ledger for payment and send e-mails to both the accounts department and the supplier detailing
the actions taken.
4.2.1.3 TROPOS mail Interface (SR3227)
In order to improve communication within the TROPOS system a set of transactions (TMMN -
TROPOS Mail) has been introduced to handle TROPOS mail.
This allows effective communication between TROPOS users who may not have access to an e-
mail account because they operate on a character cell terminal or where several TROPOS users are
using the same PC and an e-mail system cannot be effectively installed.
Online users can be actively warned of any significant events or system issues in a timely manner
leading to more efficient business processes and reduced overall process times.
TROPOS mail functions may be called by the TROPOS Active Business Process Automation
routines, and also from system software to identify potential operational problems.
Full details are contained within each Transaction's Help text.
Manual Set-Up Procedures
In order for users to have access to TROPOS mail, they must have a Public ID associated with their
TROPOS identity. The Public ID is set on the AICH transaction.
4.2.1.4 Inter Warehouse Despatch (SR4326)
The production of W81 Inter Warehouse Despatch Advice notes may now be generated per Sales
Order Line or per Sales Order Consignment. The despatch of sales transfer orders may now be
between warehouses defined upon different businesses.
A new business parameter can be maintained upon APTM (Tax and Customs) to indicate how W81
forms are to be generated. If W81’s are to be produced per consignment then, when the goods are
despatched, a single W81 will be generated per consignment and not per Sales Order Line. A new
W81 number will still be required for each Harmonised System Code (i.e. tariff code) within the
