Hi Jocelyn,
This is the first time I am working with the "SOFM" object type so I want to
make sure I am understanding the process. First I use the function module
"SO_USER_READ_API1" to get info on a SAPoffice user. Then I use function
module "SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API1" to create a new document of type OBJ in the
folder. This has been done correctly.
Now I want to create an instance of SOFM an office document. This is a new
office document I am creating right? So this info should not be taken from
any tables since this is a new instance of SOFM right? What should the
folder type be?- how do I know what the folder number should be if this is a
new folder?
Sergery had mentioned to get the folder type , folder yr and folder number
from s_user_dats which is type soudatai1. But when I look at that structure
I do not know exactly which is folder type , folder yr or number.
Also the document id which is being imported from the function moudule- is
that part of the key when I create an instance of SOFM or is the doc id
something I insert in this office document after I create an instance of it.
If the doc id is part of the key -is it the object number of the key?
Thanks in advance for looking at all these questions- I need to get a clear
idea of what I am doing. I am getting very confused with this.
Thanks.
Regards,
Monica
