Attaching documents in BI-Integrated Planning layout

Question

Hello,
We have implemented BI-IP. One of the requirements is that we provide capability to attach documents to the planning layout for 0FUNDS_CTR and 0CMMT_ITEM characteristics of our model.
However, there is a problem. Commitment items constitute Funds Centers. The same commitment item can belong to more than 1 funds center. So, if a document is attached to a particular commitment item, and that commitment item belongs to more than 1 funds center, then the same document would show up for that commitment item on ALL the funds centers that include that commitment item. We want to change that, so that if the document it attached to a commitment item within a particular funds center, that it shows up only for the commitment item of that particular funds center and not on all funds center that include that same commitment item. How can this be accomplished?
Thank you,
AG

Ravi,
Let's say you are authorized to funds center 200001 and funds center 200002 and commitment item 5000. Now commitment item 5000 is included for funds center 200001 and 200002..both.
if you decide to upload a document to commitment item 5000 under funds center 200001, then would not it also show up under funds center 20002 because it includes the same commitment item and also has authorization for it? I think this happens because the documents are being uploaded to commitment item master data.
I will ask, but I think setting up authorizations on commitment items are not the option becasue we have too many of them.
Maybe making Funds center compounded characteristic with Commitment item might help?
Not sure
