Generic Object Services (GOS) Toolbar Part 6 : Copy Attachments between objects

By | November 17, 2010 | Generic Object Services (GOS) | 13,896 | 2

Copy GOS attachment from one object to another object

Sometimes it is required to copy the attachments from one object to another object. For example, we want to attach the customer’s purchase order to Sales Order and Billing document once the billing document is generated.

To copy the attachments between the objects, we can use the utility method COPY_LINKED_OBJECTS of the class CL_GOS_SERVICE_TOOLS. We need to tell the method using IT_SERVICE_SELECTION, which service needs to be performed i.e. for the attachment copy, we need to perform the “Attachment Create” service. We also let the method know the the source and target.

Here is the Code snippet which copies the attachments between Customers.

    1. In the menu i have entrie “Attachment List”;
    2. By drag&drop funcionality i select this entrie and drag it to “Create” submenu.

    Hi,

    I’ve a special requirement πŸ™
    I need to upload a file from local client to GOS, the tricky thing is I need to do this in background. The user only press a button and then the file should be attached to a certain BO?
    I tried with function modules SO_OBJECT_UPLOAD and SO_ATTACHMENT_INSERT, but I didn’t get it work πŸ™

    Any hints?

    regards
    Markus
