SAP Work Manager 6.2 - Functional Location Attachment

[Former Member]

Dear SCN,

We are implementing SAP Work Manager 6.2 with Meter Management 2.0 (on SMP 3.0 SP05 with Agentry Android client version 70.6.2.48).

We configured and implemented BDS attachments for work orders and notifications, and have a requirement to implement BDS attachments for functional location as well.

According to Document Upload and Download Handling in SAP Work Manager 6.0 by default DMS document service is active for functional location and equipment.

This raises a couple of questions:

1. Is BDS document service supported for functional location and equipment in SAP WM 6.2?

2. If supported, how is this enabled? (In the DocumentLinkAddForFunctionalLocation transaction we see property isDMS (='X') and isBDS (=' '), what happens if we change that?)

3. If not, why is this not supported, and as of when will SAP support this? (Surely a customer cannot be expected to have different approaches for their document handling.)

Regards,

Edwin

Hi Edwin,

If you want to configure BDS for Functional location you will have to consider how many documents FLOC will have and their size. Saving FLOC documents in BDS will overload the server.

As you mentioned, isDMS flag is set for DocumentLinkAddForFunctionalLocation transaction, even if you set isBDS in Agentry it will upload documents in BDS. You will have a problem fetching document. I guess filter for BDS won't exist in FLOC MDO as in Work Order MDO. So you may need to add filter for BDS in Get method of FLOC MDO. You will also have to add parameters to FLOC fetch BAPI as it has parameters for DMS documents. FLOC BAPI class will have to be enhanced to fetch BDS documents and set to the document links object.
