Hi Monica,
Creating an instance of SOFM is NOT the same as creating a new document.
What you want to do is take the existing document that you have just created and
instantiate it - i.e. essentially make it accessible as a business object by setting up
a handle in business object key format to your existing document.
So what you need is the FULL key of your new document so that you can put that key
into business object SOFM format so you can access the attributes, methods, etc. of SOFM
using the document you created earlier.
When you created the document, you specified the folder id to create it in and
the function module returned the document id. When you called SO_USER_READ_API1 it returned the
details of the folder to put the document in. So you should have most of the key details
based on the two function modules you called.
It might help to use your code to create a document against your own user id, then try using the "Test" option in SWO1 for object type SOFM to "Create Instance" of the document - see if you can use the "Find" icon to pick your own outbox and find the document you created. That should help you match the key information to the information returned by the two function modules.
Hope that helps a little.
Regards,
Jocelyn

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
