Copy attached documents from network activity to purchase order

Has anyone ever tried copying attachments (e.g. MS Word documents) from an external activity in the project to the purchase requisition and purchase orders that are created from it?
Our client would like to attach detailed specs for the purchasing in the Project Builder. The specs will then be used by Purchasing when they request offers from vendors, and finally attach it to the PO when it is created.
Any ideas how this can be solved? Any best practices or recommendations?
We're working on 4.6C and don't use EBP.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Pim,
If the same document should be used for more than 1 object, it is better to my opnion to use a link and not an attachement (in that way you are sure to have the same information, it is a golden rule never to have the same info twice). You have to think about where to put your documents. You could use for instance a file server. Other solutions supported by SAP are possible.
You could make use of an ABAP development to create the same link to the purchase requisition as to the activity (based on a user exit or use a workflow to trigger the creation of the link).
Regards,
Paul

  • Upload documents from transactional screen - Sale & Purchase Order

    hi All,
    I am trying to have DMS attachment from trx - VA02 directly. I have come across few links which say - this is possible.
    upload documents from user transactional screen to content storage area | LinkedIn
    I am able to get the functionality for CJ20N - 'WBS Element' Object (Screenshot attached). Can someone pl suggest if I am missing something to get the same functionality for Sale Order / PR & PO.
    For Sale Order - I believe the 'Create' icon shall be 'Enabled' once I navigate - Extras -> Documents.
    -thanks

    Hi
    This button is only displayed if you use the new screen logic (see note 1066915) and when you have maintained the necessary customizing for the required document types and objects in transaction DC10.
    So I would kindly ask you to go to transaction DC10 and mark a document type where the necessary object is linked under 'Define object links'. Choose the right object and display its details by double-click. Then you will see the field 'Create document' where you have to enter a value '1' (using transaction) or '2' (simple creation). Please enter a value and flag the 'Additional function' checkbox too.

  • Transfer attachment document from purchase Requisition(ME51n,ME52n) to Purc

    Hi
    How to do Transfer attachment document from purchase Requisition(ME51n,ME52n) to Purchase order(ME21n,ME23n).

    Hi Muthu,
    I understand that it is possible to bring attachments from ECC to the SRM system for the new release.
    However, I have a slightly different question.
    If I want to bring in requirements from a legacy system to SRM 7.0 system directly, what is the feasability of the same? If I have an attachment linked in the legacy system, then is it possible to bring it in SRM 7.0 system directly or will I be forced to route it to ECC 6.0 and then use the Plan Driven Procurement scenario for getting it into SRM?

  • How to copy the payload from onMessage Activity in BPEL interface

    Hi All,
    how to copy the payload from onMessage Activity in BPEL interface when it is there at the starting of the process and when clicking on the OnMessage Activity
    i'm able to see the View XML Document link. By Clicking on View XML Document Payload is getting opened for me but at this point i'm not able to copy the payload and more over the scroll bar is also not there.
    When i'm saving it as .xml i'm able to see the payload but not in an xml format.
    When trying the payload in SOAPUI it's not getting reformatted.
    How can we solve the issue.
    Regards,
    CH

    The input payload can be seen from "Audit Trail" tab and "Flow" tab of any BPEL instance. The XML shown in "Flow" tab are not rightly formatted XMLs and you may not able to copy them "as is" to a text editor. But, the XML shown in "Audit Trail" should be in the right XML format and you should be able to click on any audit trail entry and copy the XML payload to a text editor. soapUI should also be able to format such XMLs without any issue. Just make sure that you don't overwrite soap header/body section when pasting to soapUI request.

  • Copying marketing document from SO to DR

    Good day!..
    We're encountering issue when copying SO document to DR. Sometimes the discount defined in the discount column located below the Total before discount in SO does not appear in target document (DR) when the copy to/from procedure has been performed.
    Please help cuz number of wrong prices and/or discount has been increasing..
    Thanks,
    DY

    Thanks sir, but I still can't get the point. Our problem is when we copy the document from Sales order to delivery, the discount column which can be found below the 'total before discount' of the SO document has an amount, let say 2% and I expect that if I use the copy to Delivery dcument functionality, the same information must appear to the target document. The problem is after it was copied to DR, the discount has been lost.
    Thanks,
    DY

  • Document is in transfer for purchase order.Creation not possible

    Dear All,
    We did partial confirmation in EBP and later when trying to do confiramtion for the remaining quantiy getting the message"document is in transfer for purchase order.Creation not possible"
    We are taking this problem in production as well as in quality systems also.
    What are possible reason and how to solve it.
    kindly share your views.
    Thank you.

    Hi yshu,
    use tcode bd87 in SRM to check for failed confirmation IDOC (type MBGMCR).
    The double click the status record to see the exact cause of the failure.
    Rectify the error. Then try to execute the IDOC from BD87 tcode.
    For a few errors you may not be able to execute the IDOC but to create a new confirmation in SRM. In such cases, follow the below procedure..
    There should be an entry for the confirmation in the transfer table BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB in SRM. Display the details.
    Then run FM "BBP_DELETE_FROM_DOCUMENT_TAB" to delete the entry from the doc tab table.
    Then post a new confirmation in SRM.
    There is also a FM in SRM using which you can change the status of thefailed IDOC from 51 to 68 or 31.

  • Error:-document is in transfer for purchase order..creation is not possible

    Hello,
    While doing confirmation of PO I am getting this error, saying "document is in transfer for purchase order..creation is not possible".
    can anyone please suggest me solution on this type of error?

    Hi,
    Is the PO in ORDERED status? Is there any confirmation posted for this PO which might be stuck (idoc failed to reach back end)?
    If it is a case of idoc failure, then reprocess the idoc and then do the next confirmation.

  • Can't open Office documents from network share

    Dear,
    I have a user named X that can't open Office documents from two specific shares. We call this shares T and U.
    When the user X opens Office documents the error message is "...xlsx can't be opened". The problem is not client specific because when I login on the same client I can open the documents without any problem. If you copy the file to your desktop it
    opens fine.
    Any idea?

    Anybody?
    We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8 image on a network share. The error message is just that they can't open the document. The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents
    within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image.
    I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
    Anybody?

  • Net Price - direct copy from material master into purchase order

    When purchase requistions are converted to purchase orders, currently we are maintaining Net Price manually
    before saving the purchase order. Is there a way where the standard price is copied from the material master {Accouting view} into the purchase order directly without manual entry
    If yes, Please advice

    Hi,
    1. Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Authorization Management > Define Function Authorizations for Buyers > Function Authorizations: Purchase Order > Here "New Entries" and define Function Authorization Key as "01" and give description.
    OR use T. Code - OMET
    Here under "General parameters" subscreen, cctivate "Adopt PO Price" indicator and select "Enter conditions"
    In "Possible ref. objects", select "W/o reference" otherwise reference documents (for e.g. PR, RFQ, etc...) for PO creation will become mandatory.
    2. Now go to SU01 > Enter User ID > Parameters Tab > Here for Parameter ID EFB i.e. Function Authorization: Purchase Order, maintain value "01" and check in PO, PR will become mandatory for that user.
    3. Now during creation of PR in ME51N, under "Valuation" Tab, you will get option for PO Price Adoption as Net or Gross. Select as per your requirement and it will copy Price to PO.

  • Attaching documents from desktop to FIORI

    Hi everyone,
    Is it possible to add documents from desktop/tablet to FIORI apps? If yes, it leads to further questions:
    a. how can this be implemented/activated?
    b. is there any inherent virus control?
    c. what are the document types allowed?
    d. size limits?
    e. DMS/archiving.
    We have  biz case in invoice approval. Looking forward to your f/b.
    cheers

    Hi Vlkram,
    If you do not want to change the business process, I recommend Fiori Approve Requests app. Attachments are stored in workflow container.
    Approvers can approve/reject/forward/comment but there is no creating attachment in the standard.
    If creating attachment from approver side is mandatory, you can extend the standard app by using UI extension points. Please look at SAP Fiori - Extensibility.
    Is there any business requirement for approving documents in their mobile devices? In that case, is excel attachment the best option?

  • Loading attached documents from SAP R/3 system to BW/BI system

    Dear Experts,
    In SAP R/3 system, I created generic datasource to extract sales activities which are entered with transaction code VC01N.  In SAP R/3 system, it is possible to attach documents (like word, Excel, pdf) to the sales activity. I need to upload these documents to SAP BW system as document to sales activity master data. I couldn't find where these attached documents are stored in SAP R/3 system. How can I find these documents?
    If I find these documents, I will be able upload these to BW using "How to Mass Upload Documents to BW" document.
    Thanks,

    Hi Girish,
    I don't understand your question completely. Is your question related to the Internet Transaction Server? If it is a Web Dynpro question, I can move this thread to the Web Dynpro forum. What do you think?
