Custom Output types and GOS

[Edwin Mukusha]

Hi Alon,

If you already know how to programmatically read all the attached 
documents from GOS, I would say you are nearly there.  I believe you could 
just simply launch a worklow using the standard PO created event and 
achieve what you want without using a custom output type.

However, if your customer is adamant on using output types I don't know if 
you are aware that you can specify an output type to trigger a workflow. I 
have not used this before so all I can do is point you to some of the 
customizing in the IMG.  The path is Materials 
Management->Purchasing->Messages->Output Control->Message Types->Define 
Message Type for Purchase Order.  From here choose Maintain Message Types 
for PO.  Attached is a screenshot of the options that I am a seeing.



many regards

Edwin.

I know that this not exactly WF related question but I promise that it is 
oh so close.

 

I want to know if something is possible.

 

I have a client that has configured an output type so that when a 
purchasing document is saved, an email is sent directly to the vendor with 
the relevant details. Now the client has asked me whether it is possible 
to attach some PC based files (PDF, DOC, etc) to the email that is 
generated to the vendor. I though I could use GOS to allow the users to 
attach PC based files to the PO/PR. Once they have attached all the files 
(via GOS) then they would hit save and I would write my own output type 
which would programmatically read all the attached documents and attach 
them to the outbound mail item. Does anyone know if this is possible via a 
custom output type? 

 

If this approach isn't the best then I am definitely open to suggestions.

 

Regards,

 

Alon
