Hi Alon,
There are a series of API function modules for SAPOffice that you can
use to do this. e.g. SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API.
 
You need as a minimum a folder, the document type and the document data.
 
For an object the document type is OBJ.
 
Fill the document_data parameter, field description with the title of the
document.
 
Fill the object_header table, add a row with object type and object key
using structure SOXOBJ.    (You can specify a method - if you don't it will
use the default method, usually "display").
 
You need to put the document in a folder, if you use fm SO_USER_READ_API1
with user-sapname = their R/3 userid, it will return the folders (inbox,
outbox, private) for that user in the correct format. I'd suggest putting
it in their private folder.
 
To use it in workflow you'll need to include it in a method
- I'd suggest creating a subtype of SOFM and delegating it.
 
Then you can return the resulting document id as a SOFM object, and pass it
to
your sendtaskdescription step.

Hi Everyone,
 
I am trying to attach a business object to a mail which I am generating from
a workflow. I am binding the object to the ADHOC_OBJECTS but when the mail
is received no attachment is found. I tried binding the business object to
the ATTACHMENTS element but ATTACHMENTS must be of type SOFM. I tried
somehow attaching my buiness object to a SOFM object but still no luck
there.
 
If I change the method from SENDTASKDESCRIPTION to DISPLAYTASKDESCRIPTION
and bind through my object into the ADHOC_OJBECT then this works. However,
the workflow will not COMPLETE until the user executes the task if I use
DISPLAYTASKDESCRIPTION. I would much prefer to use SENDTASKDESCRIPTION.
 
Your assistance is appreciated.
 
Regards,
