We have a client using the B2B Supplier Portal (for Cloud) and we are utilizing Document Structures for all of the drawings needed to manufacture all the subcomponents of a Purchase part. The Parent Document is connected to the Purchase Part.  It will be visible on the B2B Portal.  

Is there a way to have the documents in the consists of Tab of the Document Revision automatically be shown in the Attachments.  I have tried Object Transformations using the source LU (DocStructure) and the Destination LU (DocIssue), but the transformation does not work.

 

Thanks,

Gregg

 

Object Connection Transformation cannot do that, it's not how it works. Object Connection Transformation relies on documents being attached (as under Attachments / Documents) to "some other object", and defining a rule to "find that other object". In the case of document structures, that's not what happens. The child/sub documents are not "attached to" the parent in the same (technical) way that a document is attached to, say, an engineering part, or an invoice, or whatever.

You could of course install a clever custom event and event action that in some way mirrors/replicates/duplicates the Consists Of documents as being attachments to whatever object is relevant here. So, the moment you connect a child document under a document, the event would make sure that the same child document is also attached (as in Attachments / Documents) to the object.

Developing that is left as an exercise to the reader 🙂
