Upload and attach documents within dialog programs

Former Member — Sun, 18 Sep 2005 19:52:55 GMT

I need to include an 'Add attachment" option on one of my screens. (I am busy developing a stand-alone labour relations system in R/3. The system is case number driven) The option should allow for the user to upload related documents which should be linked to a case number. The user should then be able to view these documents later during display mode.

Should I use one of the DOCU_* Function Modules to attach the document to the case number? Should the documents be uploaded to the server first?

Is this at all possible?

Your advise will be appreciated and examples are also welcome.

I think you should use the Services for Object: it's the tool allows to manage many functions to be linked to a document (object): to create note, add attachment and ....

In the standard the icon to run "Services for Object" is up on the left of the screen (see FB03 for example).

I've never used them, but I think it isn't very hard. I know you can create it for a custom transaction.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. The icon to run "Services for Object" is also available in PA30 and it seems like a very useful tool.
