Hi,

We have a scenario where same document revision is attached in Manual Supplier Invoice and Posting Proposal. For one document detach option is not available in Manual Supplier Invoice, but not in Posting Proposal. For other document detach option is not available in both Manual Supplier Invoice and Posting Proposal.

 

I believe these documents are transferred from Manual Supplier Invoice to Posting Proposal through Object Connection Transformation. When it was transferred  like this can we only detach the document from originally attached LU? If that is the case is there a work around where we can detach a document from a LU which is not the original LU?

Also by looking at the document revision how can I identify what is the LU where this document was originally attached?

 

Thank You and Best Regards,

Hasitha

Hi,

if you transfer a document from one LU to second LU via Object Connection Transformation, then this document is not attached to the second LU. If you check the tab ‘object’ in document revision you won’t see the second LU (because it’s not attached to this LU).

And also if you deactivate the Object Connection Transformation you won’t see the document at the second LU any more as it was never attached.

Best regards, Heinz

Hi @INFHasitha,

Documents that are shown for a particular object LU will depend on the object connection transformations that are defined for that object LU and its direct object connections to the documents.

Document connections that are transformed cannot be detached from the Target LU (Since its not directly connected to the target LU, rather its transformed from source LU which is the actual object connection). That's why the detach option is not shown for document connection with the field “Source”. Source field indicates the LU the document transformed from. 

If you want to remove the transformed document connections,

  1. Disable the relevant object connection transformation - This will result in not showing any document connections from source LU in the target LU
  2. Use the details command from attachment and navigate to document revision and remove the object connection from there - This will result in losing the document connection to the source LU as well

Thank You @Asitha Rajapaksha and @heibde  for your comments. Now I have a better understanding on how this works.
