Images in SAP

[Former Member]

Hello FI Experts,

I want to implement a procedure where we can link vendor images in SAP. is there a way that I can go into a vendor open item, and be able to view the image that related to item.

What are the steps to follow in SAP. Any config? can anyone guide me to get any information on this topic?

Thank You for your help.

When you display vendor open item using FB03, there is an icon to the left of the screen title "Display Document: xxxx xxxx view". There are again two portions of this icon. When you click on the one on the right (down arrow on a page), you have options to create attachment. See if this serves your purpose.

There is a functionality called services for object in sap by which you can attach a document to any sap document.

To attach the doucment to a invoice, go to the invoice and click on the small button beside the text of the screen (alternatively you can use System - Servises for object in the main menu) Once services for screen is open there is a option to attach a doucment. Just browse to the location where doucment is stores and attach it.

To view the attachment go to the invoice and display the doucment by using the same functionality.

Hope this will be useful to u.

Hello Frank,

The solution for this could be one of the following...

a) BusinessDocumentServices (BDS)

b) GenericObjectServices (GOS)

c) Optical Archiving (Bulk numbers of Images to be scanned and attached to Vendor Open Item)

Please contact your IT administrator or PM to know which approach you should adapt. I can give you the details about the selected approach subsequently.

I feel that BDS would be sufficient in your case...however, revert back.

Hello Frank,

The below links must enable your ABAPer to get insight into the implementation...infact for Vendor Items, you need not have to do anything...as Standard has already included the required code.

GOS

BDS

Hope this helps.
