Document Flow and Additional Links

[bob_schmidt2]

We are attempting to create a linkage between sales documents that isn't naturally created through sales functions. For instance, we need the ability to create linkages from one SAP sales order to another SAP sales order. Thus, I have two questions.

1) On the Document Flow screens accessed from VA03 or VA23, there is an "Addtional Links" button in the title bar. Does anyone know it's purpose or how you make use of it? When I click on it, we simply get "No further links exist for this object".

2) To satisfy our need for linking documents, the "Relationships" option within Generic Object Services would seem to fit the bill quite nicely. It is discussed in the help topic:

Does anyone have experience with implementing this in SD? Do you have to create custom functions or screens to create the linkages? Is there any way to integrate the creation of linkages from within the VA22 or VA03 screens?

Any help is appreciated...

Regards,

Bob Schmidt

Has anybody used the Additional Links function within SD Document Flow?
