cj20n milestone attachment file does not work

[Former Member]

Hello,
When we create attachment files for Milestone, they are linked to network (BUS2002) and not to milestone (MLST_NETW), as expected.

Example : CJ20N

       Network – 1000 - N1
                  Activity 01 - A1
                        Milestone A :

                               Attachment file X
                        Milestone B         
                               Attachment file Y.
Actually, in the Network, Activity and Milestones all files created under the Network 1000 are displayed.

We create an attachment file with right click on Milestone A :  Services For Object -> Create -> Create ATTACHMENT

Our customer would like to see attachment file X and Y only into there respective Milestone A and B

BUT he doesn't want to see the same attachment files on A1 and N1.

In OAC3 , we added object type MLST_NETW with doc type BDS_ATTACH, but unfortunately, this entry has no effect.
Do you see any solution to resolve this problem ?
Thanks for your help,

Using Services for Object is not a good idea as a document management solution. It is a quick and easy way to get documents into the system but if you are planning on loading many documents it is  a bad idea.

DMS solutions usually have s document repository outside of the system.

Standard SAP DMS is to use a Document Information Record (DIR) to link between the object (WBS, NWA, etc.) and the document repository.

You are limited what you can do with Services for Object.  I don't know of anyone who has enhanced it.

Hi,

When you assign the documents to Milestone, system will display documents at the Top level of the WBS element.

Documents which are assigned at Milestone will be displayed at corresponding top level like Activity or WBS element

As suggested by KEN, DMS is the best option for attaching documents, since the Service of Objects will affect system performance.
