Document attachment with Workflow

Dears,
We are using SAP 4.7 R3 and currently we are configuring workflow just for alerts purposes for example we will send an alert to external server whenever logistics invoices verification document will be parked. We will send text to external emailer system and will be received by MS-outlook. We want to attach that document with my text . How can I do that?

Document attaching with Procurement document and Invoicing also

Hello Experts,
The query is to attach document with PR/PO, Invoice etc.We don't have DMS implemented in our system and we don't want to save these documents in SAP . The aim is that the attachment should be attached to these documents but is should be saved in a repository outside SAP because these attachments contain >70 pages (>100 sometimes in case on Invoicing). How can we achieve it?
We have .Net and SharePoint in place. Can we use them for this purpose?
Or if there is some other workaround to achieve the same.
Thanks for four valuable suggestions.
Saurabh

Thanks for your response Jurgen.
Though I have marked the discussion as answered yet I got few more points to ask from you,hope you understand that:
Firstly,during document attachment ,can we disable option for 'Create attachment' and keep the option for URL enabled?Please suggest me the way for it..
Also,perhaps in MM all transactions will not provide the options for linking document with URL or create attachment options,wherever necessary . Then which is the preferred way to deal with such transactions?
Secondly, If I attach a document with this way (screen shot) then source and destination remains the same as shown below:
Now, my query is " Is that possible the document is saved under a separate directory (like L drive) instead of the path shown in the screen shot (source and destination are same, I want a default store location with this where all such document will get stored). I hope you got what I am looking for..
Thanks & regards

Attachment with workflow

Hello all,
My requirement is that i have created a workitem to apply for leave. Once the workitem is in the manager's inbox. IF he rejects a leave, he should send an attachment stating the reason for rejecting.I have tried to attach the attachment using the 'attachment icon' in business workplace but still the attachment is not appearing in the inbox.
I have heard that some type of binding is required. Could anyone please tell me what that binding is and between which components it has to be done.
Regards,
Bhumika

Hello,
For attachements, if you have used SELFITEM-NOTE_CREATE. GUI upgrades may not allow attachments to appear. so, try applying OSS Notes 1115440, 1092152 accordingly and it must work.
Let me know for any more clarifications.
Thanks,

Document Management integration with Workflow

Hi anybody,
I have to setup a workflow using Oracle Databse Server 8.1.7, Oracle 9i Application Server 1.0.2.2.1 and Workflow 2.6 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
Trying to run the sample workflow
"Workflow Demonstrations/Document Management"
(http://<host>:<port>/pls/<wf_dad>/wf_initiate.Process?ItemType=WFDM), I get the following problem:
When I push the button "Send Document" to attach a document, the new browser window shows :
"The page cannot be found". The url is like this: http://orc9:7778/jbc/aol/Oasjbc?template=dm_create.htm ...
Does anyone know what is missing or wrong configured here?
Which Document Management software can be used together with Workflow in order to be able to attach documents to items?
Can Internet File System be used here?
Thank you for your help in advance!
Dorian

Hi Dorian
The existing document management feature in Workflow is reserved for future use. If you want to use iFS and Oracle Workflow together, there is a technical whitepaper available on OTN. Navigate OTN:Products:Oracle Internet File System->Technical Information.

Re-attaching old workflow to document library

Hello,
I've recently switched my sharepoint site to a new work environment (different DNS), but my custom workflows that were associated to my document libraries are no longer "attached" anymore. They still exist in the site itself, but they can not be
associated to any list or library. Unfortunately, they are not reusable workflows due to having specific content that related to each library and their columns, so that option is out the window. Is there a way to reattach them to a library/list if the workflow
is already created? Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to re-attaching old workflow to document library.
To migrate list while keeping workflow associations, you can save a site as a template and "include content”.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/e8f6aef7-008e-4cf1-811b-11358922cbe4/migrate-list-while-keeping-workflow-historyassociations?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
In addition, you can migrate workflows between test SharePoint 2010 farms and production farms, in particular with workflows attached to lists.

The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
(you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
(I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
Hope this helps you!

Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tell me that the file is being used even when it is not. How can I fix this issue?

Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tells me that the file is being used even when iall other programs are closed. How can I fix this issue?

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

Corrupt document gets created in document library with document template using createlistitem workflowaction in visual studio workflow for office 365 solution

Hi,
My requirement is to create a document library associated to a custom content type with a document template associated. Also I need to create a document based on the template in this document library when a new item is created in another list by taking the
reference ID of that new Item , I need to create the document with the name appended by ID. I need to do all this deployment using WSP.
I have created document library with document template associated to content type by following instructions in below stated blog :http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chaks/archive/2011/05/19/deploying-a-document-template-file-in-content-type-in-a-office365-sandboxed-solution.aspx
This works perfect for me.
However, there are few observations, when going to Document Library > Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Document Template section - doesnt shows the Edit template link. When tried to look at the value for the document template using view source
, it is giving me /Lists/MyDocsListInstance/Forms/template.dotx instead of the actual template file uploaded.
Ignoring the above observation, when I am trying to create a sandbox based workflow in visual studio to create document in document library when new item is created in another list, I provide the ContentTypeID as the ID associated with the document library
with template.
It creates the corrupt document at end of workflow.
I have tried using .docx instead of .dotx files for workflow as per solution provided in some of the post but it isnt resolving my issue.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Krutika

OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
things that go through this evolution.

Sending a document as an mail attachment with approve and reject button

Hi all,
i have an infopath form where a user fills the form and on submit the form is saving as an document in the document library,
now my question is, how can i get this document as an mail attachment with approve and reject option.

Hello,
You need to hide them on form load for user. Add one more hidden control in form and keep control value blank initially. Now add rule on button submit to set the control value to some other so you can hide/show the button.
Now add rule on approve and reject buttons that, if field1 is blank then hide this control.

OTM can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx)

With more and more use of Word Document(*.docx) (version 2007). OTM (Oracle Test Manager) can create an attachment with it, but can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx). Is this a problem for anyone else? Any wok around?
Thanks
Katherine

I am using OTM version 9.2 and the Word document (*.docx) attachment can be opened in this.
For being able to open a docx file, try to attach an word document from the file option in the Requirements, Test or Issue tabs in OTM , once you upload the file, please check if location is " in Database" Else click update DB and upload the document.
Once the attachment is attached to the Attachment section in the right pane, clicking on the attachment will open the *.docx document.
This has worked for me.
Hope this helps.

Move documents along with its version through workflow

hi
suggest which of the 2 ways is possible through Designer workflow,
1)can i move a document along with its version to another library where same settings are enabled.
2)can i move a document from a library and add as a new version to another item present in another library.
Thanks

Hi Krishna,
When you move a document to another library by a SharePoint Designer Workflow, the version history is
not maintained. This behavior is by design, because the version history of a document is relative
to its original document library. The moved document is considered as a new document in
the destination library.
The only solution is to move the documents via Windows Explorer or through Manage Content & Structure.
Open the two document libraries in Windows Explorer and move your files from source to destination or move your files through Manage Content & Structure.
The Manage Content & Structure feature is only available in Enterprise edition.
NOTE: The version will be maintained if you MOVE the files. If the files are COPIED
it will not maintain the version.
