Is possible to sign PDF from an approved and archived PO?

Hi experts.

A client brought us a challenge.

The client need to sign digitally an approved PO (ME29) that was Archived through Archivelink and can be displayed in "Attachment list" in ME23N.

The EMC Documentum is the client's document management system and repository and the integration with SAP side is made by ArchiveForSAP by EMC.

In a brief understanding the complete process is:

- A PO is created

- The PO is approved

- Using 'Messages' button in ME23N and choosing the option "Print and Archive" the system generates a PDF from actual PO version

- Under "Attachment List" is possible to select and display this PDF

We have no issue until this point. All configurations were made and we can see and display the PDF stored in Documentum side.

Now the client's needs:

- Under "Attachment List" open the PDF in Edit Mode

- In the next screen the PDF is opened with Adobe Reader

- user clicks in "Fill & Sign" button from Adobe Reader

- Then user can put they Signature

- When click in "Save" button the signed PDF should replace the original one.

This does not occurs.

It's possible only saving the PDF in our desktop and upload it after that.

Well, after all this explanation, I would ask for a advice to how to do this.

I found on internet some people with a similar situation but I cannot find any solution, even a developed one or a third party software.

To me it does not make sense once archivelink purpose aims to store files only and not do store and edit it.

Thank you in advance and have a happy new year!

Hi Mauricio,

As far as I know if any PO's are business complete than you cannot change anything.

Above that anything that's archived, is only available for view/display purpose.
