DMS Documents - Notification to Work Order

[nazarene_madriaga]

Hello,

We have enabled the DMS object link documents on both Notification and Work Order.

My question is, is it possible when we create a notification, can the documents be copied over to the work order?

Has anyone done this?

Nazarene,

You would need to develop a solution to copy the DMS documents from the notification onto the order.

HI Pete,

Thank you. Do you mind sharing the user exit if you have had used any?

Instead of copying the documents, you could add an Object Link in the existing DMS document to the associated object (e.g., document is created in the notification first, then add the order as an object link so it shows assigned to both the notification and order). This would prevent duplicating documents and still solve your issue.

Also, on the PM order, in the Document Assignment section, there is an option to Show Documents of Dependent Objects. Activating this option will show the DMS documents linked to the notification associated to the PM order you are reviewing so you can see documents that are associated to both the PM order and notification in one place.

Hi Tyler,

Thank you for that.

We wanted this process to be automated. The requirement for this is to make documents to flow over the work order, probably a pop-up box will help to selectively copy over the documents and later on to be assigned per Operation (if we are to use custom logics for this).

Nazarene,

This will depend on when you want the documents to be available in the order. If you can wait until the order has been saved, then you can utilise either BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE (SE18) or user-exit IWO10009 (SMOD).

Remember that the documents may change in the notification too, so you will need to constantly check the order for the DMS document delta.

Another option is a batch program that runs periodically, for example each night.
