With this great SDN content it was easy to develop this functionality:

Business Case


With our new copiers our users can also use a scan to E-Mail functionality. Because there often get long specification faxes for projects we had the need to allow an easy way to attach these documents to CRM Opportunities. These are the steps:

  • Scan specification fax to E-Mail

  • Forward E-Mail to a special E-Mail Account on the CRM Server

  • Change the Subject to the Opportunity Number

  • CRM Server attaches the Documents to the Opportunity


Implementation


I suggest that you fist follow the Weblog from thomas.jung3/blog on Receiving E-Mail and processing it with ABAP - Version 610 and Higher. You can really copy & paste this solution except from the line:
* set sender
lo_sender = cl_sapuser_bcs=>create( 'KEGSAPSUP' ).

in the Method SEND_REPLY. Change KEGSAPSUP to a Username existing in your client.

For the processing of the Attachments I’ve only adopted the PROCESS_INBOUND method. Here is the source:
METHOD if_inbound_exit_bcs~process_inbound .

DATA: sender TYPE REF TO if_sender_bcs.
DATA: sender_addr TYPE string.
DATA: lo_reply TYPE REF TO cl_send_request_bcs .
DATA: li_document TYPE REF TO if_document_bcs,
l_subject TYPE so_obj_des,
ls_text TYPE soli,
lt_text TYPE soli_tab.

TRY.
**** init

CLEAR es_t100msg.

**** Get a pointer to the reply email object
lo_reply = io_sreq->reply( ).

**** Check to make sure this is from an approved Sender
sender = io_sreq->get_sender( ).
sender_addr = sender->address_string( ).
TRANSLATE sender_addr TO UPPER CASE.

**** Only reply if this message came from within out mail system
IF sender_addr CS '@SITECO.DE' OR
sender_addr CS '@SITECO.NET'.
