Requirement: Attach scanned document (PDF) to a batch

Hi All,
The client has the requirement to attach the scanned document (PDF) to a specific batch for documentation and legal audit purpose. Is this possible in SAP?
I did some research, but I could not find any place in MSC2N (batch) to attach the document. I know that it is possible to attach the document in Material Master and BOM but not in batch.
The option that I am considering is to create a batch characteristics to house the SAP document number. Then we would have to create some custom program where-in user can search batch info and simply click on the link for document number and see the scanned document.
Please help to provide some suggestions on this requirement.
Regards,
Swapnil

I found the config (t-code:ODOC) by which we can activate document management for batches.

Where we do attach scanned invoices(PDF) in MIRO.

Hi,
Following is the requirement,
What we want is the ability to attach a scanned invoice (pdf) to the IR. Without this we would have two separate filing systems u2013 attached invoices in SAP for PO items and hard copy filed for non-po invoices.
Is there any option in MIRO to attach Scanned invoice( PDF). Please give your valuable thought on the same.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi, I just found some hints about it:
- Please check this threat: Archivelink to archive an image and link it to a parked MM invoice via RFC
- If you introduce your paper invoice in an archiving system, you must assign the invoice document. For that, use the barcode.
You can assign a document type in paper to each document type from all societies.
In the customizing for entering barcodes, you can specify is entering barcodes is activated and if the system must check the entered barcode according to the document type and user.
- Check the SRM workflow, if appropiate, I mean, if you use it.
-In Invoice Verification, you can store inbound and outbound documents in external storage
systems using SAP ArchiveLink.
The scanned documents are stored in an external storage system and linked to the relevant R/3
documents. You can display the stored documents from the display of the R/3 documents. Check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ish471/helpdata/EN/78/ee034b0eb811d3b6ee0000e82de955/frameset.htm

I want to attached scanned documents as an attachment. So far in PDF and Jpeg the entire document appears

Summary: Sending scanned documents as an attachment. In PDF and JPEG the entire document is displayed rather than an Icon

As long as you used the paper-clip Attach icon, that should be fine.
The entire document appears to you because your Mac recognizes the document type, and displays it for you, saving you from having to mouse around and find a Reader for it. You can still use the Save icon to save a copy of only the attachment.
To avoid problems with other email readers, be sure the checkbox [√] send windows-friendly attachments is checked.
I addition, some email readers cannot cope with any attachments positioned at any place in the document other than at the very end. So make sure you move the cursor to the absolute end of the document before clicking "Attach".
If all else fails, send an email that says, "attachment to follow", then send the attachment right away in a separate email, with nothing else in the body of the message. Some use the Subject abbreviation (nt) to indicate "no text", that is, no words typed in the message portion.

Do you also crash Preview when opening scanned document pdf file?

I recently crashed Mail when opening a message coming from my IAP with an attached pdf file. The cause is a crash of preview.app that I can repeat. Therefore the file (a scanned document) can be opened by Acrobat Reader. I found in some forum that AcrobatReader had a a similar problem a few months ago, now fixed. Do you know a work-around to force Mail not to use Preview? See below the report:

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Problem attaching scanned documents to email.

After scanning and saving a document, I use the Attach function to attach it to an email. That appears to work, but the document then cannot be opened and an error message appears that says an erroc occurred in opening. As an alternative, I close Reader and open a new email, then use the Insert function to attach the saved scan. That works, but doing it directly from rReader would be a lot handier.

Other options to convert scanned-document PDF into text?

I often get PDF files where the document was scanned in as an image. I'm wasting time having to re-type these. I found a way online to let Google do a conversion but it is slow (link below if you're curious). What are some other options for converting this type of PDF into real text?
http://www.labnol.org/software/convert-scanned-pdf-images-to-text-with-google-ocr/5158/

Well, at first I read your reply and thought .... sheesh, this is in the RTM category. I found the OCR command in the drop-down menu and ran it. I watched it going from page to page and heard a lot of disk activity. Then I started looking for the output. I checked to see if it had dumped the results into the Clipboard, but no. I ran a search of the hard drive for any file created today. Again no apparent output. The help instructions in Acrobat Pro 9 regarding OCR don't really say anything about where to find the output. Where should I look?

Travel Management Locking and Scan Documents

Dear All,
Please help :-
1. How to lock the trip completely if required i.e. no corrections possible even after having posted the same to FI. In a normal case it is permissible in R/3, whereas based on authorization on the Enterprise Portal after posting to FI the same stands uneditable by the employee.
Is it only controllable through authorization or is there any other way ?
2. There is an option to upload document against each Expense Type in the Comments field using load local file but I think this accepts only the text document.
Is there any other option to attach scan documents by central repository team against each Travel Expense Report ?
3. Later if this scanned document needs to be stored at some common text server and once stored on the common text server, user while trying to directly access this common server wants to know if which document belongs to which Trip number. Please advise on this central storage and relating of document to respective trips.
Regards
Anil

Anil,
Did you ever find out how to do this? I have the same requirement and have not found yet how to attach scanned or faxed receipt images to the expense report.
Thanks,
John

Attaching a document to a customer

Hi Expert,
I want to attach a document (PDF) to a customer.
And when creating a new sales order of this customer, the document attached appear. How can i do ?
Thanks in advance for your reply

Hi,
You have entered the customer number in the object link of the u2018Documentu2019 created in DMS. So, you are able to see the PDF file in the Customer master only. Goto the customer master XD03 and check the document in Extras >> Documents.
If you want to link the document number of DMS in the sales order you should have u2018Sales documentu2019 as one of the tabs in object links. Then only you can link the document number with the sales document.
To add the u2018Sales document itemu2019 in the Object link: Goto SPRO >> Cross app components >> Document management >> Control data >> Maintain key fields. Check for table VBAP; or add this in the list.
Goto SPRO >> Cross app components >> Document management >> Control data >> Define document types. Select your document type say u2018ABCu2019 and click on u2018Define object linku2019. Goto new entries and enter the object VBAP. The screen number is 215. Save the settings.
Now you are able to link the document number created in DMS with sales order.
Hope this information will be useful to you.

K Bharathi

Attaching a document in Invoice

Hi,
I need to attach a document (PDF) within the Invoice.
Regards,
Arindam

Dear Arindham,
If you activate "Service for Object", you can add attachments to Sale Orders/ Purchase Order/ Invoices etc..
For that go to SU01, input user id and click on pencil icon. There select "Parameters" tab and maintain SD_SWU_ACTIVE = X.
Now go to sale order, click from top menu bar "System -- Service for Object" and attach the document.
Best Regards,
Amit
Note: Could you explain your statement
but can we automate the process, instead of manually doing so

I am not able to understand your requirement correctly. Are you trying to attach the Document as a Attachment to the Interaction record (or) trying to attach it as a Archive Link Document??
If you could give me more info.. I think I will be able to assist you with this as I have worked in this area...
Cheers..
