EDI Invoices and Archiving attachments

[Richard Marut]

Ashish,
 
Yes, you're right. I am talking about a content server.
 
Take a look at function groups beginning with OBT. I was looking at
these a few days ago because I need to attach an incoming e-mail and
it's attachments to an accounting document. I plan to do this by end of
next week.
 
I was planning to debug the 'attachment' menu item of the object
services to find the module that provides the link.
 
Let me know if you find something.
 
Richard...

Richard,
 
A few more questions from my side. I assume that you are linking the
document
which are stored in external content management server (like  IXOS). In
my case
i want to link a document from my PC which is not stored on any content
management server. I understand you can attach documents to workitems in
workflow but i want to attach documents via transactions. Are there any
functions by which we can attach documents via transactions.
 
 
Thanks,
Ashish.

Hi Lola,
 
I used a few SAP function modules to do linking and archiving.
 
My early archiving used the following
 
ARCHIV_CONNECTDEFINITION_GET to get the archive id
ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_DIALOG to get the archived document number
 
The document number was initially stored on a custom table.
 
My late archiving to an Accounts Payable document used
 
ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS to establish the connection between the archive
and SAP object
ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT to provide the actual link
 
Of course there was a lot more to this such as configuration and custom
code to carry the information throughout the process.
 
Richard...

Hi,
I have the following requirement:
 
1) trigger a workflow from incoming IDoc interface
2) "attachments" to the invoices arrive separatelly and are stored on
say,
a local server, these are to be linked and archived with the incoming
invoice (background task).
 
I have a solution for the first task, I have a concept for the second
part
but  would like to hear how anyone else has implemented this scenairo.
 
 
Best Regards,
Lola.
