Attach Archived File to Archived FI Document (FB03)

[former_member618958]

Hi,

I am using the function BDS_BARCODE_CREATE to attach an archived PDF file to an FI document (FB03). It works fine for a "normal" FI document.
However, if the FI document itself is archived (cannot be found anymore in BKPF), it does not work. All the functions in call chain (BDS_BARCODE_CREATE -> ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT) are successful (SY-SUBRC = 0), entry in table TOA02 is created, but the file does not appear in FB03 -> Services for Object -> Attachment List.

I wanted to test is it possible to attach something to an archived document at all. I tried manual file attachment in FB03 -> Services for Object -> Attachment List and it worked! So it should be possible to create a link for an existing archived PDF file.

Does anyone have experience?

Thanks!

KR,

Igor

BDS_BARCODE_CREATE is usually not proposed in the forum as a way to attach a file to a business object. I guess that the classic solutions (create attachment + relationship to business object) should work.

Hi,

The solution to this problem was trivial in the end: a simple COMMIT WORK after the BDS_BARCODE_CREATE function did the trick.
