Generic Object Services for a standard transaction code

Former Member — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 07:21:52 GMT

Hi,

We have a requirement where we are depreciating the assets (standard transaction ABAA) using a custom BDC program. We need to maintain a history (called audit trail) for the particular asset that has been depreciated using this program. For this audit trail we have been asked to use "Generic Object Services" in transaction code ABAA.

Unfortunately, Generic object services are not available in this transaction code. Can you please suggest me how to create "Generic Object Services" for a particular standard transaction code. Also, we have show the details of custom workflow that handles the approval process in order to depreciate the asset. How to show this workflow details using Generic Object Services. This is a very critical issue, any help will be very help ful.

Please let me know should you require more information on this topic.

Thanks,

Ashish

Hello Ashish,

i dont think activating of GOS will solve ur probs..... GOS wont create a WF item ...... try to get some kind of GOS before u do anything in SAP systems.

u can do like this ......

1 create custom screen where u can enter asset details and store in custom tables....and generate one custom doc.number to track.

2. trigger WF when user submits it for approvals.

3.Upon final approvals.--->run BDC to do postings......

4.Give a Option to attach documents to the parking documents. ( that GOS ).

regards

Prabhu

Hi,

the generic object services are available as soon as an application instantiates class CL_GOS_MANAGER.

As parameter you have to provide either a business object together with the key of the asset or a callback that delivers back the actual asset-number to the cl_gos_manager-instance.

If this is done you can view all workflow logs dealing with an asset.
