Business Object Subtype-Supertype Attachments

EyupKaraavci — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 08:18:43 GMT

Hi all;

I have created a subtype for BUS2012 with name ZBUS2012 and delegate. Methods working fine in test mode for ZBUS2012.

But my problem is about attachments. When users add attachments to materia from ME22N, attached files are associated with BUS2012. Is there any way to change this relation from BUS2012 to ZBUS2012 or BUS2012 and ZBUS2012?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Eyüp.

Why? Referencing the supertype is exactly the point of delegation.

Hi,

This behaviour is exactly how you want SAP to behave.

What is real reason for your question?

Kind regards,

Hi;

Yes you're right. I understand better now. I will use ZBUS2012 for custom methods but will use BUS2012 for attachments display/create.

Thansk, best regards.

You can actually use BUS... for calling custom methods. You only implement them in the Z-object, delegation maps them to the supertype. So your tasks and everything should ideally be based on BUS...
