Hi,
In Costomizing "define object links" screen, what is the purpose of additional object tab? Kindly explain me with example.Please donot give links help.sap.com, I have gone through it but it is not clear to me.
Thank you,

Seema Pilankar
Seema,
with this you can set another object linked to the document such that
there is link between the two objects
example if you are having Material as the object link to the document
and if you maintain Purchase Order as Additional Object then when you are linking a DIR to the material you can also link that material to the
Purchase order.

Hi Aravinda,
Thanks for your fast responce,considering your example till DIR linking to Material it is clear to me and I can view practicaly also, but how can i view the linking of material to the Purchase order? If you elaborate little how to find it in practical scenario, it will be benificial to me.
Thank you,

hi seema,
go to me23, for purachase order.
when you link dms to material master, additonal object as purachase order,
then link between material and purchase also maintianed there.
dms link to material
dms link to purchase order by additional object.
so link between material and purchase order get established.

hi seema,
Plz check whether u checked additional functionas tab or not, if not plz check that, once u check that, u get values tab in CV02n in Materail master tab in object link.for example if u have maintained LFA1(Vendor master) as additional object in MARA object, then as soon u enter material master in object link tab, u get Values tab. Select materal master no and click on Values tab, system will allow u to enter even vendor master record. In this way u can link Material master to vendor master.

Hi,
While defining objectlink for Document type for MARA, enter additional object as LFA1 and check additional function check box.Whenever u enter material master in object link while creating DIR, additionaly u get Values tab( Just like Arrow mark symbol) along with std buttons of ADD, delete, sort.Now select material master entered in object link and click on Values button, system will open selection screen to select vendor master. once u enter vendor master, system will show u both material master and vendor master number in material master object link tab only just like
Material Description vendor
100 BallValve 150

Hi Sham,
Thank you!
You have answered my quesion.
Continuation with this I was trying for additional object like KEPO(purchase orde), MARC(Plant material) etc.
I have made the changes in customization as per requirement and working on CV02n I am getting error massage :
"Field is not defined in the ABAP dictionary" Have u come accross this?
for other additional object like LFA1(vendor), KNA1(customer) it is working fine.
Thanks a lot if u have solution for this please let me know.

Seema Pilankar.
Hi
I dont think this is an error... or you need to rectify this with an ABAPER or so...
What Aravinda A Hegde has replied earlier is absolutely correct and needs to be given good points..
I have tried to explain the same with another example of Vendor > material relation...
This is basically the relation between ABAP Fields in business scenarion..
e.g. say...
a material XYZ can be procured from two vendors, Vendor 1000 and Vendor 1100 (relation is N to N like a material can be procured from in N vendors and a vendors can supply N materials)
In this case (MARA) to exactly figure out which material (Vendor A or B field LFA1) this document belongs, you use additional object.
For this
In your case of PO>> PO already has all information which is required like PO has Material Number.. it has vendor master it has quantity and plant as well...
Also it can have storage location...
I hope Im clear on this...
If you find alternate solution, correct me..
