46C: Reversing an invoice - creating attachments

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

In the end I had to program this myself (because I can't use container
operations to fill the parameters for the method). So I called the BAPI in
my own code and it works!
 
Actually it is a SOFM document I am attaching, not a note in the technical
sense - so I had to use ATTA. Although the attachment is a SOFM object it
can be attached with ATTA since MESSAGE (which has to be the object type
for the ATTA relation) is a subtype of SOFM. I simply hardcode a change of
type (bad boy, but it works :-)

Kjetil,
 
I haven't done this myself, but it appears you can use BOR method
OBJRELSERV.CreateRelation to attach an existing note or other
document to an object such as an invoice.  This method calls function
BAPI_REL_CREATERELATION.  Based on research into ABAP class
CL_GOS_DOCUMENT_SERVICE and the SGOS* functions, I expect you'll pass
the value 'NOTE' in the RELATION field of the OBJECTS parameter,
since you're dealing with a note.  (You would use 'ATTA' to attach a
usual SAPoffice document.)
 
I don't see any standard tasks based on OBJRELSERV.CreateRelation.
 
In case you don't find exactly what you need, you should be able to
build something fairly easily.  The class and functions I mentioned
above should have everything you need.
