How to active 'Create Attachment' function of GOS?

[Former Member]

Hi, Experts.

Here is the scenario:

We have two systems: one is release 4.7, the other one is ECC6.

in system 4.7, all functions of GOS are active in transaction 'MM03',

in transaction 'MM03' of system ECC6.0, however, 'Create Attachment', 'Create Note' and 'Create external document(URL) are inactive. In menu 'Attachment List', button 'Modify', 'Delete' are inactive, either.

How can i active the above functions of GOS for transaction 'MM03'?

Thanks.

Try with SAP ALL/SAP NEW, if it works, its authorisation related.

Thanks.

I've already tried, but it didnot work.

I don't mean to ask a stupid question but you have opened a material first in mm03? (just thought I'd check to be on the safe side)

Hi, Athol

I didnot make that stupid mistake. Thank you for your prompt.

Hi,

GOS is the default application which dont have authoriation object to have a control on it.

one of the scenario for this would be, in SU01, check whethr first name and last name is entered to user.

Thanks, Manoj.

I am not sure about the meaning of "first name and last name".

Is that just the "first name and last name" of the user? I don't think that will affect the function of GOS.

He means the first name and last name fields populated in the user information in SU01. It has affects on some areas, for example, digital signatures will not work unless both are populated. I don't think it affects GOS though but its worth a try.

We have previously disabled some of the functions in GOS with abap to prevent users from using them. It may be worth asking your abap guy to debug it and see if he can find anything there, otherwise it may be an OSS related problem.

Hi,

One more try can be done..

in SU01 under Logon Data, change User Type to Service

try this setting else as Athol mentioned, abaper has to create customized authorization object for activating GOS.

Hi, Manoj

I am not sure about changing user type.

And I logon some other ECC6.0 systems, the 3 functions: 'Create Attachment', 'Create Note' and 'Create external Document' in T-CODE MM03 are all active. but only in one ECC6.0 system,

I can only active 'Store Business Document', Other 3 functions cannot be active. And the user type in other ECC6.0 systems is 'Dialog'. So i don't think that will work.

Thank you.

Hi Jiujiang Yang,

I too had the same problem facing once, through the Basis guy I got this changed,

in SU01 under Logon Data, change User Type to Service (initially it will be dialog).

Thank You,

Hi,

Apply SAP basis pack 14 that will enable to add documents thru GOS in display mode in MM03.
