Get manual attachment from a report

Question

Hi all,
I have a problem when trying to retrieve from a report the manual attachments of an SD invoice. Though I'm using a SD invoice, I guess is the same for any object.
I usually use this way to get attachments from objects:
1º ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS -> Attachment info
2º ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_DT_VIA_TABLE or ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE -> Attachment data
3º Then download, email... or do whatever you want with the files.
My problem now is, if I go inside an invoice and create an attachment manually, then it does not show up on TOA01 or on FM ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS.
Do you know a way to get these manual created attachments or at least where are they stored?
Thanks in advance,
Regards John

Hi Madhukar,
Thanks for the answer. That's exactly what I need.
After a while I finally managed to execute them correctly, I'll explain here:
1º Get the attachments info. In my case, as I told, are SD Invoices so class is VBRK
CALL FUNCTION 'BDS_GOS_CONNECTIONS_GET'
  EXPORTING
*   LOGICAL_SYSTEM           =
    classname                = 'VBRK'
    objkey                   = 'sd invoice number'
*   CLIENT                   = SY-MANDT
  tables
    gos_connections          = it_gos_connections
* EXCEPTIONS
*   NO_OBJECTS_FOUND         = 1
*   INTERNAL_ERROR           = 2
*   INTERNAL_GOS_ERROR       = 3
*   OTHERS                   = 4.
2º We recover the data of any of the attachments we got before:
From table gos_connections we use the field L0I0_ID to enter this next FM:
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1'
  EXPORTING
    document_id                      =   it_gos_connections-L0I0_ID
*   FILTER                           = 'X '
* IMPORTING
*   DOCUMENT_DATA                    =
TABLES
*   OBJECT_HEADER                    =
   OBJECT_CONTENT                   = it_object_content
*   OBJECT_PARA                      =
*   OBJECT_PARB                      =
*   ATTACHMENT_LIST                  =
*   RECEIVER_LIST                    =
*   CONTENTS_HEX                     =
* EXCEPTIONS
*   DOCUMENT_ID_NOT_EXIST            = 1
*   OPERATION_NO_AUTHORIZATION       = 2
*   X_ERROR                          = 3
*   OTHERS                           = 4.
3º Now we got the data, we can do whatever we want. For example if we want to download it we can go like this:
we use the it_object_content from last FM for this next one.
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_OBJECT_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
*   BIN_FILESIZE           = 0
*   DEFAULT_FILENAME       = ' '
   FILETYPE               = 'BIN' "for PDF
   PATH_AND_FILE          = 'C:TEST '
*   EXTCT                  = ' '
   NO_DIALOG              = 'X'
*   CODEPAGE               =
* IMPORTING
*   FILELENGTH             =
*   F_CANCELLED            =
*   ACT_FILETYPE           =
*   ACT_FILENAME           =
  TABLES
    objcont                =  it_object_content
* EXCEPTIONS
*   FILE_WRITE_ERROR       = 1
*   INVALID_TYPE           = 2
*   X_ERROR                = 3
*   KPRO_ERROR             = 4
*   OTHERS                 = 5.
Regards
