Determine classname & classtype for Purchase Order?

Question

Hi All
I'm completely new to SAP, apologies in advance.
So I'm trying to create a external document url against a purchase order via a BAPI.
Looking at this thread [FM to create external document(URL)|FM to create external document(URL)]  BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CRE_O_URL is the one to use.
First question: is that correct?
The BAPI takes as inputs CLASSNAME and CLASSTYPE which Im assuming are used to identify that this is being attached to, in this case, a PO.
Second question: Is that correct and if so how do I find out what these values are for a Purcahse Order and other objects in SAP?
thanks

Hi Jonnoking,
1) Function module u201CBDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CRE_O_URLu201D is correct to u201CCreate External Document (URL)u201D
2) To find u201CCLASS NAMEu201D & u201CCLASS TYPEu201D values for Purchase Order or any other objects below are the transaction codes where it is maintained:
a) Transaction Code : SBDSV1 - Maintenance View for BDS_LOCL Transparent Table
b) Transaction Code : SBDSV2 - Maintenance View for BDS_CL_DOC Transparent Table (Here you can search the CLASS NAME & CLASS TYPE with the help of DOC_TYPE like u201CMEOORDERu201D for purchase order & other needful objects like INVOICES)
c) Transaction Code : SBDSV3 - Maintenance transaction for V_BDS_CL View (Itu2019s a view of tables - BDS_CLASS & BDS_CLASSL)
3) Transparent Table References:
a) BDS_LOCL  - BDS: Assignment of Application Classes to KPro Doc. Classes
b) BDS_CL_DOC - BDS: Class Definition
c) BDS_CLASS -  BDS: Class Definition
d) BDS_CLASSL - BDS: Language Table for Class Definition
