CV01N - Attachment List and Originals

[ged_hurst]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to know what's the difference, within the transactino CV01N/CV02N, between:

1) Create Attachment from the Generic Object Services Menu (icon in the upper left corner)

2) Originals Tab (where I can attach files to the document being created/modified)

In particular, I tried to attach a file through the Generic Object Services Menu and it appears in the attachment list for that specific object. However it doesn't show in the originals tab.

Thank you for clarifying this for me.

Regards

Hi,

basically the Attachment list in the generic object services (GOS) area and the originals area or tab in CV01N, CV02N, CV03N is not related. These are two separate functional areas.

GOS Attachment list:

This attachment list can be found for nearly all object (document info record, material master,euqipments,...) and allows you to add specific files to the object and store them by archivelink technique.

Original tab in DMS:

This area is something DMS specific and allows you to store original files to the document info records. This original files are normally stored in a content server and from DMS point of view you will have more functionalities as when you add the files to the attachment list. For detailed information please see the following link to the SAP online documentation:
