Attaching a pdf document to a sales order

[Former Member]

We are trying to link pdf documents to sales orders in VA02/03 using the object services toolbar in the sales order. We can specify attachments and it appears to work fine. Our main question is were are these attachments saved. We do not want them in the SAP database. How do we configure were these attachments are saved.

Does anyone have any experience doing this?

Thanks

Hi Tom,

ArchiveLink is a service integrated in the SAP Web Application Server for linking archived documents and the application documents entered in the SAP system.

Linking documents according to content guarantees long term easy access to the documents. From the screen of the application document, you can directly display the stored document that is associated with it. You can also use attributes to search for documents. This replaces time consuming processes such as making copies of originals, searching for procedure-related information, etc.

There would definitely be content repository which will be connected to SAP through archivelink. Pls confirm the same with Basis.

You can look at the customizing through

IMG->SAP Web Application Server -> Basis Services -> ArchiveLink

Also pls refer to:

Pls award if helpful.
