Missing attachment (Object link) in Purchase Order (PO) seen via ME23N

There is an issue in which I am not able to see the attachment in few purchase orders. The complete process is as follows:-
Shopping cart is created in the SRM system and some reference document like a .doc, .xls or .pdf documents are attached with the item position of the shopping cart.
This shopping cart along with the attachment information is then transferred to R/3 system via RFC connection which creates the Purchase Order in the R/3 system. These attachment document are created with transaction CV01N in the DMS server. These attachments are when opened in the Purchase order in R/3 for a item position, gets displayed from the archive link server.
However in this case, there is no attachment (.xls) seen for the item position of the purchase order. However it is available and can be displayed in SRM system for the corresponding Shopping cart.
Anybody know what to be done or missing?

Hi,
Check if note 1506581 is present in your system,if not please implement the same.
Also check if in /SPRO -> IMG Customizing -> "Integration with
our mysap.com components" -> Supplier Relationship Management ->
Message Control -> "Activate Document Transfer"
the customizing is correctly set for BUS2012 (Purchase Order).
If not, please maintain this entry correctly and re-test the
scenario.

Attachement linked to purchase order

I want to know where the attachements linked to purchase order are getting stored in SAP.Since the attachement are linked to purchase order(header level) ,is it possible to link those attachements at item level so when we select a particular item and if the attachement exist for that item then we should be able to navigate to that attachement.These attachement are uploaded from window(any text file).Is it possible to implement this functionality at item level(table control) in purchase order?is there any existing functionality which support this requirement?

You can also attach manually any document to PO without using Document Management System ( DMS ) in SAP 4.6C.
But you cannot attach document while you create PO in T/Code ME21N
Save you PO ( ME21N ) and again open with change ( ME22N ) then you can attach document through Service for Object button. Service for Object button available down side of Command screen ( in your PO screen ME22N )
Click your Service Object button -> Create -> Create attachment
then select your window directory ( which file you need to attach) select your file Now your system shows message Service "Create attachment" is started.
Save again your PO. You can see (open) your attachment in same field ( Service for Object ) select and Create and check attachment list. You can attach as many document in your PO.
Note: This is only information for internal or you can print separately this document for sending to vendor ( fax ) System will not print automatically along PO print out.

Attachment missing in back end for purchase order

Hi all,
We are using SRM 5.0 SP10 extended classic scenario.
I have created a shopping cart with attachment. A local purchase order has been successfully created and i can find the attachment in it.
When i check in the backend the purchase order doesnt contain the attachment.
I have made the required changes in BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK. I have made necessary changes in DC10,DC20 and DC30.
I have checked the related threads in SDN but couldnt find any help.
Please let me know if this works only for classic scenario or the attachments can even be sent to backend in extended classic scenari as well. If yes please let me know what else needs to be done to be able to view the attachment in the backend.
Thanks,
Zubair.

Hi Sanjeev,
Thanks for your reply. I have looked into both the BAdis. I couldnt understand how bbp_driver_determine BAdi could be useful to this scenario.
However i looked at bbp_ecs_po_out BAdi. It has IT_ATTACH as importing parameter but i couldnt make out how this BAdi could be used to transfer attachment to backend. It doesnt have a relevant exporting or changing parameter.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Zubair.

DMS Object Link at Maintenence Order and Service order level

Hi SAP Gurus,
We had a requirement for maintaining DMS Object at Service order and maintenence order level, as Standard DMS does not provide any Standard Object link at Order level, we went for development and following the Standard procedure i could bring the Order Tab in CV01N Object Links, and also i could search the relavent maintenence order and maintain documents relevant to it,
But the biggest problem now is i could not create DIR from the Maintenence or service order screen IW31, and the document i have placed at the order is not visible in the order screen at all,
i know it is some sort of enhancement in the Order screen to allow DMS Documents to appear in the Order screen to provide this funtionality.
let me pls know what exactly has to be done, as there is no config at the order level to get the DMS Screen, as DMS is not a standard object at the order level.
one approch as suggested is modifiying the Order screen or using Screen Exit Enhancement for Order but not sure which one to use or how to move ahead,
Thanks n Regards
Priya S

Dear Christoph Hopf
Many Thanks for your answer,
i went through the said SAP Note, but it only speaks about the notifications level, where SAP itself has provided the standard DMS Object links, and iam in latest ECC-6 version where this note is taken care of i think,
iam looking for creating DMS Document (DIR) from the maintenence Order IW31 transaction screen, and have developed new Object link for Maintenence order,
but the main problem is, iam not able to create DIR from the IW31 Screen directly as Maintennce order is not a standard SAP Object,
please let me know how to get the list of documents that i have attached to a maintenence order to appear in the IW32 maintenence order screen, and also we need to create the documents (DIR) directly from IW31 / 32 screens.
Thanks and Regards,
PriyaS

Is there is a way to have a link from purchase order to cost center report.

Is there is a way to have a link from purchase order to cost center report.
I am meaning kind of:
Standard way to customized this link?
or
User exit to have this link in place
or
Any other solution
Thanks

For me it does not make any sense from going from PO to cost center report.
However, if you want to see the purchase order cost incurred with a cost center, execute KSB1 report. Within the layout, bring "Purchasing Document" field, where you can see the purchase order number in cost center line item report.

Error when attaching object link in DMS

Hi Experts,
I am calling the function module CV110_DOC_CREATE in my program. This program i have attached to a ztransaction.Thus the screen after entering the document type, document version and part in the cv01n transaction appears when my ztransaction is executed. But the problem is that i can attach object link (document info record) when the ztransaction is executed initially. But when i click on back button and again comes to the screen i am not able to attach the object link.Then it gives an error as " Object does not exist". Please help.

When the back button is clicked screen for my ztransaction comes.From there it is calling the actual screen to attach the object link.there i am trying to attach the object link again...then it is saying as object does not exists. This same dir i have attached earlier as object link when the ztransaction was run initially.

Fixed Asset Acquisition linking to Purchase Order

Hi,
I would like to know how the Fixed Assets Acquistion process can be linked to Purchase Orders created in SAP. The process of acquiring assets starts with the PO and they want to link the PO to the Acquisition process in Fixed Assets.
Regards,
Andrew.

There is no integration of Fixed asset acquisition and Purchase orders and therefore no way to link the two.
Look at this thread as well Purchase Order and Fixed Asset Module..

DMS:Object link to Purchase requesition item giving error

Dear All,
I have a requirement to attach documents in Purchase requesition item, but if i try to attach the object link in DIR from CV01N, it gives ma an error "The status RL cannot be set because no objects exist to the following links"Purchase req. item 001000399200000
But if attach a document from me51 it is attached & also can be seen from CV02N.
I have maintained the object link 'EBAN' & screen no 247 to my document type.
So where should be the problem.
Help will be Appreciated.

Thanks rehman,
i have tried the 'object check' tick removing process it works but when ever i select a purchase requestion as a object link in my DIR, it only selects the purchase req. number but the item no is not selected, if i don't put the item no manually the DIR is saved with the objectlink but if u go & see in the purchase req. transaction there is no document attached to it.
When u select a purchase req. number & put the item number manually in DIR, then the document is attached in the PUR .REQ.
What would be the reason that the Pur. Req. & item no both donot appear when i select them in my DIR object link tab.
And i had four status for my Document type all had the problem of objet check, so i have removed that tick.

Problem with transfering attachment on item of purchase order in Sus

Dear customizer,
I 'm implementing a scenario of plan driven procurement with R/3, i have a release of SRM SERVER 5.5,R/3 is connected to sus via XI.
I'm not able to trasfer attachment and text from R/3 purchase order item to Sus purchase order item.To reach this goal,I have only activate "the service docserver" in Srm,but i can't trasfer my attachment.
Can you help me?
Best regards.
Alessio Pernasetti

Hi
Incase you want to transfer attachements from SRM to R/3, then you try implementing the BADI in SRM side. The BADI which will help in this case is
BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK BADI.
Please read the standard SAP documentation of this BADI using SE18 Transaction, before making any code changes.
Few Important SAP OSS notes to refer in this case ->
Note 989184 - Transferred shopping cart with internal attachments
Note 550071 - FAQ: EBP - Shopping Cart
Note 916347 - Transfer shopping cart with internal attachments
Note 1001130 - FAQ - Attachment questions (Buyside)

DMS: Object Links for Work Order

Hello All,
I would like to attach and checkin originals to a work order thru CV01N/CV02N transaction. But, there is no specific tab for work oder. How do I acheive this?
what configuaration and development has to be done?
Any kind of help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandra

Hi,
If you need only a tab to be seen in the CV01N/CV02N Tcodes, then there is a config settings,
Document Mangement--> Control Data->Define Document Types (under that select your document type to which this attachment is required) > Define object links> select the production order (PORDER---Object & Screen # 0251)
then you can see the production order tab in the DIR,
OR
As per my understanding of your requirement is:
When you attach a Original in DIR then it should be visible in the Production order also.
To achieve this you need to build a relation b/w Material Master & DIR (particular document type), so when a order is created then DIR with original will also get attached automatically so that you view, or through EWB also it can viewed & edited.
Hope i have understand correctly.
Regards
Rehman

To Limiting the size of the attached document in a "Purchase order"

Does anyone knows how to limit the size of the document indexing in an "Purchase order"?
Let me explain:
By the tcode me23n I can create an annex to attach a file to the Purchase order,
right now there is no limitation on the size of it,
is there any way to limit that someone attach a giant file to a purchase order and leave me the Database trembling?
thanks in advance.
