How to automatically attach document in PO - Extended Classic

Question

Hi,
We are using the SRM 4.0 - extended classic scenario. We are creating the PO via sourcing (Manually converting SC into PO by assigning the Vendor).
In our scenario, the Terms and Conditions have to be attached to PO automatically (without User need to browse and upload them).
Is there a BAdI to attach the Document to the PO automatically.
Regards,
Rahul

Hello Pras,
Rahul is not trying to transfer attachments to R/3, but to create automaticaly an attachment for the PO.
Rahul, the smartform + CUF solution is the simplest and cheapest solution, and the less consumming in DB space (no physical document stored).
If you want to handle it via an attachment, you must code CHANGE or SAVE BADI to add an attachment at header level, is PO is created from transaction BBPSOCO01.
You would have to store this document in SRM KPRO, as a document model, and store its ID somewhere.
So when creating the new attachement, you can retrieve it and duplicate it.
Another approach, to avoid replicating N times the same document, is to handle the PO header CUF only, and interprete this CUF when editing the PO. In this edition step, you could then read model and add it in your PO output.
You could also just create a new attachment link without creating a new physical document by just linking the document model to your PO via an attachment link in BBP_PDATT. To do so, just add a new entry in attachment internal table in CHANGE BADI, using the LOIO Object ID.
For the last solutions, you will need some skills around document storage in SRM (LOIO, PHIO, KPRO...).
