How to upload document and connect it to a debitor?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I would like to upload documents (e.g. PDF-documents) from a java application to SAP and connect the uploaded document with a debitor.

Is there an function module for this purpose?

I already searched for a FM or some hints but found nothing concrete yet. I know that there is SAP ArchiveLink, but I have never worked with this technology before.

Hope someone could give me a starting point.

Hi Markus

Check out the CL_BCS Class and it's associated methods.

Hi.

If you only need to save PDF data in a SAP custom table, you'll have to use "raw data string" type.

Hope to help

Hi Marcus,

basically, your solution consists of two steps:

1. create an Archive object, using FM 'SCMS_HTTP_CREATE_FILES'
2. link the Archive-object to Debitor, using FM 'ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT'

That should do the trick (did it for me)

This looks very promising.

But it seems that the file I want to upload has to be already on the SAP-Server, is this right?

Hi Markus,

Applikation Server or presentation Server (PC), both works fine. You just have to set Parameter FRONTEND accordingly.
