RFC/FM to store Business document in Purchase Order from external system

Hi All,
I have been going through various threads for suitable solution, but could not find one which can meet our requirements. Appreciate, if you could share your expertise for the following requirement.
Requirement: One of our external system is going to create/change Purchase Orders in SAP using standard BAPI's (BAPI_PO_CREATE1,BAPI_PO_CHANGE etc.,). During this process, they would like to attach supporting documents (.pdf, .jpeg, .xls etc) as 'store business document' for the same PO. As per our current configuration, we can attach the documents as dialog user from ME22N/ME23N transaction and attached documents are stored in our IXOS/ Archive server.
Is there any standard BAPI/FM (RFC) available to achieve above requirement?. And what are the parameters we need to pass in the FM to attach or delete documents.
System Details: SAP ERP ECC6 & Netweaver 7.0
Kind Regards
Kumar

Hello Arza
You can use BAPI BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL to retrieve the PO data from the two (remote)systems.
During an important migration project I had to compare whether the PO data were the same on the old and new SAP system.
For this purpose I used the BAPI to retrieve the PO data, initialized all data of which I new they would differ between the old and the new system (e.g. time stamps, date, time).
Next I defined a complex structure which contained all PO data that I wanted to compare.
Each PO gave one record which I collected into an itab.
Finally I transformed the itab data into a single XML file for the data from the old and the new system. Then I took an XML editor (e.g. Oxygen) and made a diff analysis of the two XML files which showed me every difference.
This way I was able to compare thousands of PO's within a few hours.

For case A, create insp plan with usage "1- production" If you have one IP with this usage for given material then system will assign Plan to lot automatically. In your case for second plan update usage as 1.
For case B, system should assign 1st plan make sure for both plan udage is correct. for 1st plan usage should be 5 while 2nd plan usage should be 1. Now if your 1st have status 4 and key date before lot date then system will assign plan auto.

How can I get INSTID_B for the documents which are stored using Store Business Document functionality

Dear experts,
I had activated the functionality of Store Business document and successfully stored documents in external server.
My client have a custom function module which is used to send emails.In that FM they used SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1, SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 function modules.They passed Instance Ident(SRGBTBREL->INSTID_B)(eg: FOL33000000000004EXT39000000000026) as export parameter to the FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' and get the attachment details and content.
Here my problem is I do not have entries in the table SRGBTBREL for the documents which are stored using the Store Business Document functionality and without INSTID_B I am unable to use the FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' to get the document details and content. Please help me to find INSTID_B for documents which are stored using Store Business Document functionality or please let me know if there is any other way to use FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' for documents which are stored using Store Business Document.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
You can use the following method to get the information. For example if you want to get BO documents for a customer
CALL METHOD cl_binary_relation=>read_links
   EXPORTING
     is_object           = ls_lpor
     it_relation_options = lt_relat
   IMPORTING
     et_links            = lt_links.
then fill ls_por-instid with a customer number (KUNNR), ls_por-typeid = 'KNA1' and ls_por-catid = 'BO'.
Table lt_relat should contain a line option for each document type (for example 'I' 'EQ' 'NOTE', 'I' EQ 'ATTA', 'I' EQ 'URL', ...
In table lt_links you will get your information.
Maybe some other methods of class CL_BINARY_RELATION may also solve your issue.

Klaus

Services for Object - Store Business Documents (issue with XLSX files)

Hi,
We are using the Services for Object > Store Business Document to be able to drag and drop files into (for example) Sales Inquiry, Sales Order, Sales Quotations etc.
Within OAC2 we have set up the global document types and these have been linked to the relevant Object Types and Content Repositories in OAC3. We have also set up the Content Repository as Document Area 'ARCHLINK'.
The ArhciveLink Basic Settings in OAG1 have the 'Always Copy Document Class from Document Type' set under Storage Settings.
The issue we are having is with XLSX document types. When we drag and drop the XLSX documen type using the Store Business Document the file is stored against the Sales Order but when you come to view the attachments MS Excel opens but an error message appears saying 'Excel cannot open the file '******' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'?
We have reviewed SAP notes 1925897, 1739026 and 1145885 however non appear to give me a clear answer as to why this is happening?
I have found that if we unselect the option 'Always Copy Document Class from Document Type' in OAG1 then we can open the XLSX files.
As we have a significant amount of documents attached to various objects, what would be the implications of making this change agianst existing records and new records?
Any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi David,
No joy I'm afraid!!
I added entry 'xlslx' with the relevant MIME Type, Application and Description into table TOADD for the ArchiveLink settings and also this entry was already in tables SDOKMIME and SDOKFEXT for KPro.
I then following the process via the Services for Object within VA12 (Change Inquiry) to then Create > Store Business document > Select the relevant Document Type > Drag and Drop the XLSX file into the empty box.
I then saved the record and tried to view the attachement but I am still getting the same message 'Excel cannot open the file '******' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'?
Our client is on componet SAP_BASIS release 701 Support Level 0014 and Support Package SAPKB70114 and I can see that note 1237688 is for SAPKB70112?

Using GOS to store business document on the content server

Hello All,
BACKGROUND
We use content server to store business documents via ArchiveLink. The process to store a business document is via Generic Object Services menu path "Create -> Store business document".
ISSUE
When document is stored in such a way, the actual name of the document is not displayed in the "Attachment list" of the GOS menu nor is it stored on the content server. What we see instead in the "Attachment list" is a description of the Archive object (TOASP-objecttext) for all documents that we store.
NEED HELP
We need to have a document's name (i.e. name of the uploaded file) displayed in the "Attachment list" of GOS. We also need to be able to retrieve this file name programmatically via a function call or a class method.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Gene.

1. In GOS attachment list i can able to see the attachment name (without extension) may be you need to check your layout using change layout (its may hidden)
2. For getting attachment name programatically try this way
i_object-typeid = 'BUS2012'.
i_object-catid = 'BO'.
i_object-instid = yatthdr-docno.       " Document Number
refresh : i_brel, i_link.
* Get Attachment List
append 'ATTA' to i_brel.
if not i_brel is initial.
    select *
      from srgbtbrel
      appending corresponding fields of table i_link
      for all entries in i_brel
      where
        instid_a eq i_object-instid and
        typeid_a eq i_object-typeid and
        catid_a eq i_object-catid and
        reltype eq i_brel-reltype.
endif.
wa_filter-send_info = ' '.
wa_filter-no_content = 'X'.
loop at i_link into ls_link.
    clear : wa_doc_data.
    wa_fol_cont-doc_id = ls_link-instid_b.
    call function 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1'
      exporting
        document_id                = wa_fol_cont-doc_id
        filter                     = wa_filter
      importing
        object_header              = wa_obj_hdr
        document_data              = wa_doc_data
      exceptions
        document_id_not_exist      = 1
        operation_no_authorization = 2
        others                     = 3.
You can find the File Name in the WA_OBJ_HDR

Hi Seema,
I had a look at this weblog. This is if I have to implement the functionality from Background.
But I am attaching a document by using Storebusiness document link in the GOS toobar via frontend.
This is late archiving.
At this point of time if I display the attachments, it is not showing the creator name for the documents attached via the link "Store Business document" . But if I attach through "create attachment" it is displaying the creator name.
I am wondering why it is not taking creator name, did I miss any configuration part?

Early response would be appriciated.

Store Business Documents

Does anyone have any experience with storing business documents in SAP while using a Mac?
We have several users that are on Macs. They are unable to attach files/documents to their SAP documents. The screens they see are not the same as I would expect from the PC world.
Sorry to be so vague. But, I really don't know where to begin on this one.
A user received the following error message: Store business document Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
Monique Stephens

Hi,
Absolutely it is not possible.
The services for object is only visible, once the original object is created.
Even if you check for normal F-02 entry also, it wont be visible during entry, but will be visible after posting if we go thru FB02 or FB03.
Any attachment can be assigned through the services for object, is possible only after creation of the dependent / original data.
So for AS02 and AS03, the dependent data has to be there in the DB, which has been created with AS01.
Thanks,
Srinu

Store Business Document

Dear All,
one of my client has enabled store business document for uploading external docs along with financial transactions. The problem is when I upload the document, what appears in the Title is the name of the object under which I upload and not the file name. Also the name of the user uploading or basically the creator's name doesnt appear. How can I address this issue ? Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
