Document Flow and Additional Links

We are attempting to create a linkage between sales documents that isn't naturally created through sales functions. For instance, we need the ability to create linkages from one SAP sales order to another SAP sales order. Thus, I have two questions.
1) On the Document Flow screens accessed from VA03 or VA23, there is an "Addtional Links" button in the title bar. Does anyone know it's purpose or how you make use of it? When I click on it, we simply get "No further links exist for this object".
2) To satisfy our need for linking documents, the "Relationships" option within Generic Object Services would seem to fit the bill quite nicely. It is discussed in the help topic:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/6f/66653abd64e025e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Does anyone have experience with implementing this in SD? Do you have to create custom functions or screens to create the linkages? Is there any way to integrate the creation of linkages from within the VA22 or VA03 screens?
Any help is appreciated...
Regards,
Bob Schmidt

Dear Bob Schmidt
After your post, I too tried the Additional links and the end result was same as you got :-((.
Tried to get some links but not sure, whether these links will be of helpful to you.

Sales order document flow and delivery document flow are not in sunc

Hi ,
whan I look at the Sales order document flow there are lot of line items rejected with specific reason , but for the same line items already delivery and PGI in place . When we try to do the invoice it shows error , it can't be invoiced because line items in sales order are rejected .
Ideally in business when delivery and PGi created for the sales order , it should not allow the line item to reject . system should look at follow on documents in place . Reverse process should follow .
Pls provide solution to stop item rejection when follow on delivery document in place .
thanks and regards.
Sunil Tripathy

Hi,
Goto the T.Code "VOV7".
Select your item category.
Details.
Maintain the Completion rule as "A(Item is completed with the first reference)".
Save.
If you do this after the follow on document is created,the item is completed and you cannot reject the item.
For your second question,
Goto the T.Code "VTLA".
Select your valid combination.
Click on item.Select your item category.Details.
There is a check box called as "Update document flow".Tick that one.
Save.

SRRELROLES and SRGBINREL tables and Document flow in PM notifications

Hi Folks,
I was wondering if anyone has run across this before. Currently we are having problems in our 4.6B system when it comes to doing Document flow from a Plant Maintenance Notification. We have found the certain notifications are linked to the SRRELROLES and SRGBINREL tables and others are not. The notifications that are not linked to the tables perform the document flow and we get the correct results. The ones that have entries in the table just hang and no result is ever displayed. They system times out after about 2 1/2 hours or we have to stop the transactions to get out.
Does anybody know what the relationship is between these two tables and how postings are made to them? Any clue as to how to resolve our hanging problem?
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks you in advance.
Joe

Hello Joe,
I am facing a problem regarding the table SRRELROLES . My problem is reverse that due to absense of the document in this table my function module (bbp_pd_objrel_read_via_ref) fails.
If you had found any information about your issue could you please share with me?
thanks in advance

Sale order document flow-u0091Service Documentsu0092 is coming which should't aper

New Issue with Sales order document flow:
When linking from a sales order in document flow, we were reviewing why the description information varied. In looking at different values, we clicked on a new item within document flow that allows you to like to Service Documents. This is new in 6.0, or it was previously deactivated in 4.6C. If you link from a sales order to a service document, in ECC 6.0, you will get a short dump because the document flow is so great (viewing order #any in VA03 and use document flow and then select the service documents button as seen on the screen below
A Short dump will occur in program SAPLDOCUMENT_FLOW_ALV.
Here in ECC 6.0 is how it looks from sales order 9806:
Documents created from 2004 through 2007 are coming up as linked to this sales order and that is incorrect. There is some type of linkage issue. In the 4.6 C environments, the service documents link is not visible from document flow.
Can any body functional / technical Help on this urgent???

Hi Sanjay,
Go to the order VA03 --> Environment --> status overview. The exact status of the header and item can be found here. You may have chances to know why the status is being processed.
Also
Check whether you have checked 'document flow update' field at item level in copy control
Check your settings for completion rule in item category
If it is due to incorrect status message, run report SDVBUK00. That might fix the error. It is recommended to run this first in test mode.

Need no document flow update for sales order create with reference

Dear All.
We would like to have the ability to create a sales order with reference to another sales order, and have the document flow of the sales order not updated.
Unlike the case of a standard create with reference where the documents are linked, in this case there is no relationship between the documents. The first document is just acting like a template for the remaining documents, to save time during order entry.
We have turned off update of document flow at the line item level.
But I don't see a way for us to turn this off at the header (document level). So wondering if there's another way to turn this off, or possibly through user-exit or VOFM requirement?
Has anyone else done this?
I think that CRM has this functionality, but we're still entering orders through ERP-SD.
Many Thanks!

Hello Colleague;
The issue you have reported is SAP standard. The checkbox "Update Document Flow" (V_TVCPAAP-UPFLU) controls document flow at item level. If this checkbox is set to blank, there will be no document flow at item level.
However, the document flow cannot be completely turned off - if the 'update document flow' indicator is blank, you will still see an entry in the document flow, but there will be no update to table VBFA (Sales Document Flow) and the document flow of the predecessor will not be updated at item level (no record in VBFA at item level).
The reason is that the system checks VBAP (Sales Document: Item Data) for fields VGBEL (Document number of the reference document) and VGPOS (Item number of the reference item) for values. You will always have document flow information on header and item level in the successor because it stores this information in table VBAP.
Related with this issue, you can find a Note 53383 for your review.
I hope it can clarify the case.

regards,

Dear Zafar,
Check if there is a copy control between your sale order types in VTAA.
If yes, then in the item category, uncheck 'Update document flow' and then check.

Document flow of Inbound Delivery

Dear Gurus,
We have upgraded to support pack SAPKH60018 from SAPKH60010.
Earlier the process for goods receipt was followed as described below
1. Purchase order
2. Inbound Delivery
3. GR in to Blocked stock against Inbound Delivery (mvmt type 103)
3. Release GR blocked stock (mvmt type 105)
Now after upgrading the support pack when GR blocked stock is made against the Inbound Delivery system is not updating the Document number in the document flow and PGR button is not disabled though 103 mvmt type document is made through migo.
System is also not allowing to make the Release GR block stock through MIGO and prompting to use Inbound Delivery Dialog instead.
Request for immediate assitance in regard to this issue.
Regards
Danish Alam.

With the support pack in case if material is serialized for such plant you can post goods receipt only in VL32N which would happen only during 105 mvt type and you cannot post goods receipt using MIGO.

PO is incorrectly showing in other sale order document flow

Hi expwrs please help me on this issue. One PO is incorrectly showing in other sale order document flow and there is no relationship between PO and sale order. Why it is showing incorrectly.

Hi,
First you check the SO created with reference and then check teh PO type (based on item category).
I think with of any reference the PO will never show on doc flow,

Deleted outbound delivery doc displayed in document flow

Hello,
Deleted outbound delivery document is still displayed in document flow and its status is 'Archived'
I don't know why deleted document is seen and moreover I haven't ever seen such a status in document flow. For your reference, the delivery document is displayed in only VF02 or VF03 with its billing document, which is also cancelled. One more thing, its sales order is also deleted.
Thanks for your kind response in advance.

Hi,
This is happening because invoice can only be cancelled and not deleted. While sales order and delivery can be deleted. So if you check the document flow of the cancelled invoice it will show the delivery number but with status as archived. If you try to display such documents you will get an error message 'Delivery xxx does not exist'.
If you delete a sales order and delivery which does not have an invoice this will not happen.
Regards,
Sajith.

Prevent Double click in Document Flow

Hello,
We have a need in our project to restrict certain users from veiwing price in Sales Documents. We have achived this by using various exits and hiding the price. But we have a problem regarding the Document flow. When the user clicks on the document flow and then double clicks on a line indicating a Sales Document, the price is shown in an ALV display. Is there anyway to prevent this?
Thanks in advance for your help
Best Regards
Anirban

Hey Anirban,
The same requirement we have done.
First we used some exists to hide th price but does not go well.
Finally we did using SHD0.
We created a transaction varaint by removing the conditions tab from the screen and added new tcode ZVA0* (1,2,3). Who ever the user uses the ZVA0* will not be able to see the price from anywhere .

Updating Document Flow

Hi,
I've created an inbound delivery from an outbound delivery. Now I need to update the document flow, and I've used the code below to do so. My problem is when viewing the document flow for the inbound delivery via VL33N - no document flow is shown. When I view the doc flow for the outbound delivery(VL03N), the inbound delivery shows up there.
Why doesn't doc flow show when viewing the inbound delivery?
Do I need to update document flow another way?

Is there a BAPI you can use instead? Neither of these FMs are released or documented. It's quite a task trying to figure out how SAP uses these FMs to update.

What is document flow for particulr document?and how it will be configured?

give me answ with detiled steps to configure document flow

Hi
The business cycle has different processes and each process will have a different documents to record the events/details of the activities about that activity. This is there even if the process happens manually.
It helps you to know the status of an order - ie., that particular order is in which stage of the business cycle.
As told in the above reply, the copy controls helps to link the documents and the field UPDATE DOCUMENT FLOW enables updating the preceding documents. The table that stores the document flow is VBFA and you can also see the document flow from any document by clicking the icon 'document flow'.
Thanks,
Ravi
