Versioning and Document Hierarchies

[former_member605345]

Hi,

when you are using document hierarchies and you create a new version of the superior document I guess SAP standard it will not copy the lower level documents. Is it possible to get SAP to automatically copy the hierarchy into the new version?

Hi Kenneth,

I hope you can use the previous version as template which will lead to copy all data and fields.

Hope this will help.

Hi,

I am new to DMS and my requiremnt is to update the version through a bapi for which I am using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATENEWVRS2. Can you please tell me in detail how can I manually create a document in cv01n transaction. I am passing following values to this bapi.

REFDOCUMENTTYPE = SPE

REFDOCUMENTNUMBER = 3.1-3001-9028

REFDOCUMENTPART = 000

REFDOCUMENTVERSION = A

NEWDOCUMENTVERSION= C

COPYCLASSIFICATION = X

COPYORIGINALS = X

COPYDOCBOM = X

COPYOBJECTLINKS = *

Do I need to pass any other parameters?

Thanks

Hi Shilpa,

I think you have raised this question two times because I just answered the same question regarding CV01N in another discussion.

Regarding the BAPI please note that DMS BAPI always require that BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT is executed afterwards. Otherwise the changes want be realized in the system database tables.

Hi,

I am not able to create a document version with the help of bapi BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATENEWVRS2.

It is throwing an error document in return parameter SPE/3.1-3001-9028/000/C DOES NOT EXIST.

REFDOCUMENTTYPE = SPE

REFDOCUMENTNUMBER = 3.1-3001-9028

REFDOCUMENTPART = 000

REFDOCUMENTVERSION = A

NEWDOCUMENTVERSION= C

COPYCLASSIFICATION = X

COPYORIGINALS = X

COPYDOCBOM = X

COPYOBJECTLINKS = *

Do I need to pass any other parameters? Please help me

Thanks

Hi

Use BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATENEWVRS2 function module to create the newversion. If you set the importing flag 'COPYBOM' to X , you will have the Bom's copied to the target document.

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks Roopa,

do you know if there is a similar option/functionality for copying hierarchies?

The customer want us to implement some kind of functionality that will automatically include documents in the hiearchy when a new version is created of the higher-level document. Today they are not using hierarchies, so I am contemplating whether it would be better for them to go for document BOM's rather than document hierarchies. Any thoughts?

Best regards,

Kenneth

I*ve checked out the BAPI. That is I've opened up the source code. I don't se a paramater called COPYBOM. I see one called COPYDOCBOM is this the one that you are referring to?

What will I have to ask my ABAP'er to do if I want him/her to make these changes?

Today I can see that COPYDOCBOM is mentioned under EXPORT not IMPORT (though it is mentioned under IMPORT higher up, but this code has been commented out).
