DMS inherited to follow-on objects

[Former Member]

Dear SAP gurus,

We're currently assesing the DMS functionality in our company. The scenario that we have in mind is to have a Doc linked to material master, and when PR is created for this material master the doc is inherited automatically to PR doc, and it will be inherited to RFQ, and eventually to PO where it can be printed as well.

We observed that if we maintain the link of the doc to a PR item, and afterward create RFQ against this PR, the RFQ is automatically inherit the link (we see that in object links in the doc, the RFQ link is created automatically as well). This also happen in PO as well. However when we create a PR for material that already linked to the doc, the doc is NOT automatically inherited in the PR. We must spesifically link the PR item to the doc which is linked to the material.

Is there any config that we miss? Or this is standard behaviour from SAP? (if it is, it seems very odd as it is working very well for PR --> RFQ --> PO, I dont see any reason why it should not work for material --> PR).

Hi Josh,

as far as I know this behavior means to be the current standard. Because the document is already linked to the material master and the PR on basis of this material is created the link is not taken over again to the PR. This is because the material is also

involved in the PR already. So in this case you would have to made a new link between the PR item and the document if you need it.

Best regards,

Christoph
