Create Custom Attachment in User Descision

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

I am relatively new to the workflow world. Before raising this question i have gone through all the previous threads but could not find an answer to my problem. Here is my problem

I have created a business object as below to create an attachment

      zswr_att_header-file_type = 'B'.

      zswr_att_header-file_name = 'PurchaseOrder'.

      zswr_att_header-file_extension = 'PDF'.

      zswr_att_header-language = 'EN'.

      CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD'

        EXPORTING

          workitem_id = workitemid

          att_header  = zswr_att_header

          att_bin    = lv_file_xstring

        IMPORTING

          att_id      = zswr_att_id.

    ENDIF.

  ENDIF.

ENDIF.

swc_set_element container 'ZSWR_ATT_ID' zswr_att_id.

swc_create_object sofm 'SOFM' zswr_att_id-doc_id.

swc_set_element container 'SOFM' sofm.

however when this attachment is passed back to the workflow it shows there is no instance of this. How do i create an instance so that i can get the attachment in  my workflow?

Thanks

Ashok

Hello,

The call of SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD should be enough to attach the document to the workitem, assuming all of the parameters are in order.

Why don't you show us the whole method instead of just part of it?

Hello,

Let SAP help you!

*"  EXPORTING

*"     VALUE(RETURN_CODE) LIKE  SY-SUBRC

*"     VALUE(ATT_ID) LIKE  SWR_ATT_ID STRUCTURE  SWR_ATT_ID

*"  TABLES

*"      MESSAGE_LINES STRUCTURE  SWR_MESSAG OPTIONAL

*"      MESSAGE_STRUCT STRUCTURE  SWR_MSTRUC OPTIONAL

Test the return code and if it's not zero then return the message lines and make the method go into error.

Thanks Rick. The business requirement changed and now we are providing a link to display the purchase order from the work item.
