restrict filetype, mime type for a doc type

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

How can I restrict certain file type only (.pdf, .xlsx) and mime type for a document type ? Is there any standard way of doing this ?

If I look at standard config, document type allows all work statation applications that are defined can be attached to a document type.

Is it a development effort to restrict or do we have any std config solution. please help.

thanks

There is no standard solution for this.  The safest option would be to use one of the main document exits and then check at the save event. It doesnt restrict the user from attaching it, but enables the check before saving.

This should be fairly safe, but might not be very user friendly. (BADI DOCUMENT_MAIN01~BEFORE_SAVE)
