Attachment for a Purchase Order !

[Former Member]

Hi here !

Back from holiday and immediatly in front of SAP ^^

You could attach some document to a purchase order ( ME22N, then the menu bar from the button "Service for Object" near the title of the purchase )

Therefore, just a bunch of question about attachment issue :

1/ What's the difference between the "Create Attachment" and the "Create External Document (URL)" option ? Does it means that the first one is a document which is uploaded in SAP while the second one is just a link ? If so, where does SAP stock those documents ?

2/ Is there a BAPI or other sample of code which could attach a document to a Purchase Order ?

Thanks for your answer !

FYI: sap does not recommand to store docs in your OLTP database, use a content server for that.

create attach willl indeed create a document in the database

url is just an url.

Very high level:

Setup an content server

link to content server via OAC0

based on custo OAC3 files will stored per object in the content server created above

There are also some intresting notes:

Note 1020056 - GOS doesn't work for Purchase order and requisition change

Note 1140398 - Transferring docs from purchase requsition to purchase order

Hope this helps!
