Sending EBP shopping cart attachments to R3 POs

[Former Member]

We ahve a requirement to transfer all shopping cart attachments to the follow on Purchase order in R3. We have a classic inplementation and are using SRM 4.

Is there some configuration or BADIs in SRM-EBP that I can enable to transfer shopping cart attachments?

hi Rozah,

This function is available for backend as of release 46C.

There are two ways to store attachments in the backend system.

1. The attachment is stored in the SRM System and the backend system. After the attachment is

transferred to the backend system, both documents are separate. There is no link between the

documents.

2. Only the URL of the original document is transferred to the backend system. A user name and

password in the Enterprise Buyer System is required to display the document.

Note: The document cannot be displayed if the URL is longer than 128 characters. Nevertheless, the

URL is saved to the database.

The transfer of attachments to the backend system is inactive as standard. The R/3 Document Management

System (DMS) is used to save attachments in the backend system. You need to define both the document type

and the workstation application.

You can find more information on configuration of the Document Management System in the SAP Service

Marketplace under service.sap.com/ibc-srm in the Configuration Guide of the Self-Service Procurement Business Scenario.

You can activate the transfer of attachments using the BAdIs BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK and BBP_CREATE_REQ_BACK.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Hi Yann,

I need your help on the same issue further.

We are on SRM 4.0SP08 classic scenario.

We have a BADI 'ZBBP_CREATE_REQ_BACK' where we have specified the following in the method:

"method IF_EX_BBP_CREATE_REQ_BACK~FILL_REQ_INTERFACE.

cv_attach_transfer_active = 'X'.

endmethod."

Also, in R/3 we have set document management in DC10.

Now when i create a SC with an attachment and order the same, the corresponding PR in R/3 shows the attachment name in the ME53N->attachment icon->Display document ->Descriptions.

But when I go to the 'Originals' tab , where ideally the attachment should lie, it's not there .

What could have gone wrong ?

Hi Yann: according to your post, attachment transfers from EBP are only possible from backend release 46C on.

Can you be more accurate?. Where did you get this information?. I tried to find out something about it but I couldn't.

We are working with SRM 5.0 (SRMServer 5.5) and backend 46B and we weren't able to configure attachment transfers even when we follow the impl. guide

Thanks you in advance

Best regards

Hi Rozah,

It is again bit tricky, but don't worry.

There is a standard BAdI - BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK having following two parameters

1.CV_ATTACH_TRANSFER_ACTIVE = 'X'. This will send a complete document to backend.

2.CV_ATTACH_USE_URL = 'X'. This will send only URL of your document to Backend

There will be config involved in backend also. You need to define config related to document management.

Please go through document management system in R3 for more details. If you need any help, please let me know.

Please reward few points if you find this useful.

Regards.
