Attaching a note from PA30 transaction in the workflow

Question

Hi All,
I have developed a workflow which gets triggered when a record for infotype 0267 is created in pa30.
Initially when the record got created a work item appeared in the approvers inbox and he could either approve or reject it.
Now the requirement is that the user shoud be able to attach a note when he creates the record in PA30.
The approver who receives the workitem should be able to view this note also.
I have no clue regarding how this can be done. Please help me out.

Hi,
What is this approval for? is it to decide whether infotype 0267 can be created or not? what happens if approver rejects it.
It looks like, you are sending for approval after infotype record is created, rather it should be in otherway round, first get the approvals and once it is approved then create the infotype record.
However if your approval is for somethine else and need to be done after the infotype record is created, to achive your objective you can do below
1. While creating infotype record in PA30, in 'Services for Object' you can create an attachment.
2. In your workflow, in the workitem that goes to approver send PREL Object with correct key either as AdhocObject. In runtime, this will give a link in the workitem. So, approver when he clicks on this, he/she can go to PA20 of this record. Then he has to check any attachments available and can take his decision based on that.
another approach:
1. Using Assign Fascimile functionality in PA30 also we can add attachments to infotype records. You can find this option under 'Extras -> Assign Fascimile'
2. However to use this, first you need to decide which document type to be used, check in OAC3 to find associated doctypes for Object PREL. based on this you can choose the correct document types.
Hope this helps you !!
