Linked Images : Automatic Folder Creation for linked images?

Best Rgards
Mac OSX 10.9.3
InDesign CC (9.2.1)
Presently: 120 page Blurb publishing with 190 images
I have created a large number of INDD documents that I piece together from many sources,
such as file folders, internet searches, external drives, emails...kind of grabbing things
from all over the place. usually I publish this as a PDF for local and archival use. Sometimes
using this also for newsletters and other ways to distribute documents as pdf and epub.
I never really paid to much attention to LINKED FILES and where they might
be located, as my intent was PDF and you can publish a very
serviceable Pdf without verifying or correcting MISSING LINKS...
NOW, I am working on a higher end 120 page Photo BOOK to have printed on paper.
I did not organise my image assets into a folder, i should have first. Now as I go to
upload to the publisher I find I have to many missing links to images. So I am going
back through the whole project and organising the assets and re-linking...what a lot of work this is.
I was wondering if InDesign supports automatic creation of assets folder?
As you place images, with their links, the program creates a folder and puts a copy of the file there?
I don't see anything about this subject.
I am wondering why not? It would sure make the work flow speed up. Options for
the format, size, pip etc. Does this exist in InDesign and if not
wtf not?
Sure would appreciate anyone's thoughts on this. It is to late now to save this
relinking 190 images, but I realise I need to be better prepared with my assets in the
future. I work on a number of publications, some spontaneously and others
more carefully planned...some sort of auto process for asset-linked-folders
seems a simple enough coding issue. It is 2014 already.
???....best rgards, Thanks for any input on this issue.

Thanks to everyone for these answers. I guess the real answer is "no", Adobe software engineers see no reason to create a script which
will place linked files into a folder. To bad. A really serious and lazy oversight in my view. The package function is helpful if one has already
organised their assetts.
As great as these programs are, this is an oversight of some frustration. As I said in my comments above, it seems an easy enough routine to program
into the app. Why should a user have to worry about collecting details of resources/links for a document?
Even after all these years?
Best regards, thanks to everyone who contributed some thoughts.

  • Automatic TO creation for delivery

    Dear Experts ,
    We are facing a problem with Automatic TO creation for delivery only in some storage types ( not all the types , some types are working fine )
    The problem happened after we applied a user exit for a specific picking strategy , but even after we have cancelled that user exit still problem remained.
    We have checked the following settings, and everything seems fine:
    1-Warehouse management - Activities u2013 transfers u2013 define Mvt type
    2-Warehouse management u2013 interfaces- Automatic TO creation
    Looking for your help in this issue
    Thanks ,
    Malik

    Hi Malik,
    You mentioned that you have previously implemented the picking user-exit and removed it later. Did you enter the correct picking strategy for the effected storage types after removing the user-exit? This could be one reason.
    What happens when you try to create the TO manually?

  • Bin determination in automatic TO creation for posting changes

    Hello guys,
    could someone provide some information or some links on how the automatic bin determination for posting changes will be processed in SAP WM?
    Actually I'm looking for some further information for automated processing during a posting with movement type 309.
    What data from the posting change will be taken into account for the automated bin determination?
    Or is it 100 % comparable to the standard putaway / stock removal strategies?
    Thanks for some hints on that.

    Hi,
    I would like to add a point here that there is possibility of transmitting a screen widow to hav the value of GR number. You can do the settings  in OMLR in the AddlData for the appropriate Mvt (eg 321)
    This will cause to have the GR number to the PCN, which is compared with the GR no in the quant existing, while creating the TO wrt PCN.
    For eg: Material           Qty              Stk catgry                Bin                      GRno
                     A                  20                    Q                      B001                  5000000102
                     A                  40                    Q                      B003                  5000000140
    Now, when transfering the stock category form Quality to unrestricted, for 20 qty, a PCN will be created bforethat a pop-up screen flows in which u'll b giving the GR no as 5000000140.
    So u have the PCN for Qty 20, with GR no 5000000140.
    When u create a TO wrt PCN, system will pick the stock from the bin B003.
    I don't know how far this may light u.

  • Automatic TO Creation for QM Usage Decision

    Dear Gurus
    We all know WM TO to releasing stock from QI to UU or return goods to vendor can be created automatically,
    My question is, when the usage decision is split into two, some material going into stock, and some returned to vendor. for return to vendor, SAP will do automatic transfer, but for material go into stock, SAP is not release Q status in WMS to unrestricted (blank), I have set the movement 321 to create TO automatically and post into same bin.
    FYI, if the transaction is separated, SAP perform well (transfer Q to unrestricted done automatically and return to vendor also done automatically)
    Is there any solution for this problem?
    Thanks and Regards
    CJ Lee

    Hi,
    In case of a usage decision for a partial quantity, it is not possible to create the TO for the generated posting change notice automatically. This is only possible when the full quantity is released. The same happens if you release a partial quantity and post the rest using a different stock posting. The reason is, there needs to be a user decision, which part of the quantity has to be posted, this is necessary for example when the quantity is distributed in the warehouse over many storage bins. But even if the full quantity is on one storage bin, there is no automatic TO creation. You can see this also in the online processing LT05), in case of partial quantities you have to enter the selected quantity in the quant list, for a full posting this is not necessary.
    Hope this helps.

  • Automatic TO Creation for Inventory loading

    Hi ,
    Is there any way to create Transfer Order for a material document with 561 movement type (With and without Handling Units ) ?
    I believe system doesn't create any TR for intial inventory upload  , is that also correct ?
    Regards
    Sandeep

    Dear Sandeep,
    You can configure to create the transfer requirement or transfer order creation for 561 movments also. under
    customizing path: SPRO --> Logistics Execution --> Warehouse management --> Interfaces --> Inventory Management --> Define Movement Types
    In case you want to do with HU management then there will be delivery gets created instead of material document.
    so naturally you can putaway or pick using the delivery document.
    Kind regards,

  • Automatic folder creation fails  ... trying to use the bulletin board tutor

    Hello,
    I would like to create a blog using KMC functionality. For this I found an sdn article on how to create an bulletin board an this tutorial has some functionality I need in the blog too.
    Unfortunately I have some problems when I want to have an folder created automatically. Here are the steps I am doing:
    Creating a folder in the km-content named  /documents/Blog
    In Content-Management > Repository Filters > Userhome Filter+ I created an filter:
    Name: Blog
    Priority:
    URLs: Postings
    Prefix: /documents
    Startpath: /Blog
    Then I created a folder for the km-navigation iview in the portal content. The path to the initial folder is:   /alias/documents/Blog/<user.id>/Postings
    But when I call the preview to see the newly created folder ... I get the error message that the object couldn't be found (translated it means something like):
    Object not found        /alias/documents/Blog/<user.id>/Postings
    Has someone an idea what the reason could be? Is it that the automatic creation of folders is only possible in special folders?Did someone faces the same or an similar problem and could help to solve it?
    Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend,

    Hello,
    It worked perfectly fine for me.

  • Automatic TO Creation for Inbound Deliveries

    I would like to have TO created automatically for Inbound delivery for PO.
    1)  I have set the Automatic TO = A in Mvmt Type 101 for my warehouse in transaction OMKZ. 
    2)  I have set Immediate TO Creation and Mail Control = A for Mvmt Type 101, Mvmt Indicator =B, Mvmt Type 101, TR Create =X for my warehouse in transaction OMKX
    3)  I have assigned Routine #32 to Application E1 in transaction VOFM
    4)  I have created output conditon WMTA for delivery type EL with Medium =8 and Date/Time =4.
    Tranfer order is not created when the delivery is created via transaction VL34.  The output determination analysis indicates that WMTA was ignored because requirement 032 not fulfilled.  What am I missing?
    Thank you.

  • Automatic PR creation for stock items (Category - L)

    Hi All,
    My requirement is as follows:
    When I create PM orders for stock item, system generates a reservation number.
    But the actual qty is sytem for such items are less than planned qty or NIL qty.
    How to create PR's for such items automatically by system ?
    Is MRP run required to be activated for such items (i.e: maintenance of MRP views in material master) or any other way to do it for stock items (L) ?
    If so, what all fields need to be filled in material master?
    Is there a way for doing MRP run only for material type ERSA (spare parts) or only against reservation numbers created through maintenance orders or against MRP controller?
    Kindly post your valuable feedback.
    Thanks in advance and best regards.
    Kannan J

    Hi,
         For automatic p.o creation, you can use reorder point.
    In material master mrp1 view, use mrp type VB, reorder level ex. 50 pc.
    Maintain lot size HB, maintain max stock level 100 pc.
    When the requirement comes it will consume from stock. If the stock goes below reorder ponit(50), it will create planning file entry.
    When you run mrp (MD01), it will automatically create p.o.
    But without running mrp, system can not create p.o
    With that you can maintain your stock.
    Hope it will help.

  • Automatic folder creation

    Dear friends,
    On a folder I've got a series of >3000 video files, and in order to use them with a software called TViXiE (http://www.tvixie.com/) for each of these files I must:
    a) Create a folder with the same name of each video file (stripping out the extension from the original filename), and
    b) Move the original file in the relative folder
    Is there any way to do this task automatically (using an automator action or any other script), as doing it by hand would take ages?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Maybe you might like to try the following script, which should be run either from the AppleScript Editor or from the Script menu.
    *set F to choose folder with prompt "Select the folder where your video files are located." default location path to movies folder*
    *tell application "Finder"*
    *   set theFiles to document files of F*
    *   repeat with thisFile in theFiles*
    *      set {theName, theExtension} to {name, name extension} of thisFile*
    *      tell me to set P to offset of ("." & theExtension) in theName*
    *      set theName to text 1 through (P - 1) of theName*
    *      set theFolder to make new folder at F with properties {name:theName}*
    *      set locked of thisFile to false* -- required only if some files might be locked
    *      move thisFile to theFolder*
    *   end repeat*
    *end tell*

  • Help needed for automatic batch creation for by-products(PP-PI)

    Hi,
    In the Goods Recpt tab in transaction COR1, we have a field for creating a batch manually for the header material. On clicking on create, a pop up is generated whch facilitates creation of batch for the header material.
    At this point, if i go to the material list, I would like to see the same batch number ( same as header) written against the BY-Products.
    Essentially, when i create a batch for the header material, it should also create a batch with the same number for the by-product and populate the same in the materials tab.
    One important thing to note here is that when we click on create batch icon, the data is stored in a structure and the batch is actually created only when the process order is saved.
    Please advise if this can be achived by some standard settings in SAP or do we need to change the standard code. If later is the case, please advise about the point where to insert the required code. I have found a user exit at the point where batch numbe is created manually.
    Please advise.

    As per SAP Batch definition Batch is the quantity or partial quantity of a certain material or product that has been produced according to the same recipe, and represents one homogenous, non- reproducible unit with unique specifications. So logically you cannot have same batch number for two materials.
    If you want to find out the relation between batches of header material and by product that is produced during production, you can use Batch Information Cockpit.
    To see batch details in Batch Cockpit (T-code: BMBC), You have activate Batch where used function in IMG using path : Batch management-->Batch Where used list --> make setting for batch where used list.

  • Enhancement during automatic HU creation for outbound delivery

    Hi All,
    I need your suggestion / input on following scenario.
    When I create an outbound delivery and save it, an automatic Transfer Order is created and at the same time an HU is created for delivery.
    Now, I want to populate the field EXIDV2 of table VEKP ( HU header table ) with a specific logic.
    Can anyone suggest a suitable EXIT or BADI or Enhancement point where I can populate the field VEKP-EXIDV2 ?
    Note: I have tried using EXIT_SAPLV51S_001, but it is not helping in my case. Because it is called only when Transfer Order is created manually (LT03), but is not working when TO is created automatically after saving the outbound delivery.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Devendra

    HI,
    You can use the BADI BADI_HU_MAIN and the method HEADER_UPDATE_IN_PACKING.
