How to add attachmen while triggering workflow

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have a requirement where i need to add an attachment(say an excel sheet) while triggering workflow, here i am using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW to trigger workflow.

Please advise..

Thanks,

Kishore

Hi,

The function module SAP_WAP_START_WORKFLOW allows you to pass a container to the workflow as you start it (the link above is apparently for editing the container of an existing workflow).

All you need to do is instantiate a SOFM object (for your Excel spreadsheet) and pass it to the FM parameter INPUT_CONTAINER.

Hi Paul,

first of all thank you all for the replies, can you please guide me how to instantiate the SOFM object or provide me piece of code to insert the attachment,

i have no idea on OOPS programming.

Thanks,

Hello,

You need to use SOFM object and pass it to the workflow as container . For the same you can use below link.

Hi- From where are you triggering this workflow and do this attachment needs to be updated in any other transaction too?, along with sending the attachment to workflow
