Hi,
It is possible to send SMS to other system. There are various options to do that.. Howeveru need to have a mobile operator inbetween to do this.
The simplest way would be send the mobile number and messge as E-mail from ABAP program to the operator. The operator inturn will send the SMS.
This method will have acknowledgement of the message sent . Also operator can provide us report for specific date.
Please find the different ways of achieving it.
1. We need to upload the .WSDL file from the SMS provider into the SAP system (WSDL: Web Services Description Language which provides information about how to call a web service). Configure the logical port settings. (Transaction LPCONFIG). Then we can write an ABAP program which will accept the mobile number, message and will send it as SMS.
2. We can configure SMS in the SAP web application server using SMTP by creating a node. (Transaction SCOT). We can send a mail to configured receipt (using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1) which will in turn send a SMS.
3. Create a RFC enabled Function module which will accept the mobile number, message etc. Import the RFC and WSDL into integration repository (SAP XI). Create message and interface mapping. Create business services and communication channels. When function module is called, a SMS will be sent.
