Business Requirement

Many a times there is a business requirement of linking documents, entering notes, sending notes or linking an internet address to various SAP objects. These external attachments can be reference documents, pictures, Email attachments, designs, diagrams or related spreadsheets. To meet this requirement SAP has provided a tool bar called ‘Generic Object services toolbar’ or ‘GOS toolbar’.

What is GOS

The GOS is a toolbar that provides different functions such as adding an attachment, creating a document link, displaying all the attachments etc. The attachments are not generic for that transaction but are specific for a particular SAP object. The GOS toolbar can be activated using a class CL_GOS_MANAGER.

Currently in the system the GOS toolbar is available by default only for certain SAP objects.

For Ex. ME21N. See screen shot below. The GOS toolbar is highlighted.

As shown above, the attachments created in ME21N screen will be linked to a particular purchase order and cannot be seen for any other purchase order in ME22N or ME23N screens.

Services that the GOS toolbar provides

The following list shows all possible object services. Not all object services are available – it depends on objects that are already active. Individual object services can also only be accessed using a sub-menu, so that the symbol is not displayed in the toolbox.

Adding an attachment

Entering a Note with an Object

Sending an Object with a Note

Starting a Workflow for an Object

Linking an Internet Address

Entering a Bar Code

Tracing Events for the Object (Subscription)

Telephony

Displaying Object History

Displaying Workflows for the Object

Displaying Transmissions for an Object

Displaying Relationships

Displaying Attachments

Activating Generic Object Services toolbar

The Class CL_GOS_MANAGER is used for activating the GOS toolbar. We have to create an instance of the class. The instance of the class can be created by calling the constructor method. Also, a variable of type BORIDENT needs to be created for the application business object. The object type and object key is assigned to this variable which is then passed to the instance of the class CL_GOS_MANAGER as shown below. This entire code has to be written either inside a suitable user-exit, enhancement point. If both user-exit and enhancement point are not applicable, implicit enhancement can be created inside the standard of that transaction where GOS has to be activated.

The syntax is:

DATA: LR_GOS_MANAGER TYPE REF TO CL_GOS_MANAGER,

LS_BORIDENT TYPE BORIDENT.

LS_BORIDENT-OBJTYPE = ‘BUS2081’.

LS_BORIDENT-OBJKEY = ‘12345678902011’.

CREATE OBJECT LR_GOS_MANAGER

EXPORTING

IS_OBJECT = LS_BORIDENT

IP_NO_COMMIT = ‘ ‘

EXCEPTIONS

OBJECT_INVALID = 1.

Here the object key is the combination of the SAP fields that are mandatorily required to execute those transactions. This will publish the GOS with the supplied BO instance if it is used in an executable program.

Earlier the Function Module SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH was used for activating the GOS toolbar which now has become obsolete. The object type and the object key were passed as the import parameters to the function module.

Example

For the material BOM transactions (CS01, CS02, CS03), the GOS tool bar is not provided by standard SAP. See screen shot below.

We will see below how we can activate the GOS toolbar using above class for transactions CS01 / CS02 / CS03.

To activate it we need to do an enhancement in include ‘LCSDIFCD’ inside form OKCODE_BEARBEITEN. For transaction ‘CS03’ material number, plant, BOM usage are the required fields. See screen shot below:

So the object key for above example is combination of values of material number, plant and BOM usage.

How to get the object key

The object key can be found out from the object type. Enter the object type in transaction ‘SWO1’

Click on display.

E.g. If material number is 100000000000000099,

plant is – 1234 and

BOM usage – 5, the object key will be

Object-key = ‘10000000000000009912345’

2. The object type can be found in table TOBJ and also from transaction SWO1.The object type for Material BOM (CS01/02/03) – BUS1082.

3. Leave the IP_NO_COMMIT parameter as blank. If the parameter IP_NO_COMMIT is set, it means that your application should start ‘COMMIT WORK’ command. That is also the default value.

If the parameter is empty, the object services will call the ‘COMMIT WORK’. In this case, the data passed should be consistent.

When called because the database changes cannot be reversed using ‘ROLLBACK’.

4. The GOS toolbar / Button will now be visible and activated in t-codes CS01, CS02 and CS03 after the enhancement is activated.

5. For Sales order, the service can be activated by setting user parameter.Set parameter SD_SWU_ACTIVE = ‘X’ in the user profile. This will activate the

generic object services for VA01, VA02 and VA03.

Steps to create attachments for a Material BOM

1] Click on the GOS toolbar. Different options will be displayed.

2. Click on ‘Create-> Create attachment’ option.

3. A pop-up window will be opened to find a file or attachment as shown below.

Select the file and click on open.

4. A success message will be displayed in the task bar.

5. Now let us create an external document link. Follow the screen shot below:

6. Click on Enter.

A success message will be displayed at the status bar ‘The attachment was successfully created’.

Viewing the attachments

1] To view the list of attachments, go to attachment list as shown below.

2] The list will be displayed as shown below.

Some transactions where GOS is activated using this class.

Hi Ashutosh,

If I understand your query correctly, the business object will always be known as to which SAP object needs to be enhanced to have the GOS toolbar and will not be dynamic.For e.g. you will have clear requirement to enhance this particular transaction.Whereas the object key will always be dynamic and its values will be obtained in the standard structures (table,workareas) which get filled run-time inside the includes where you write the code.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

CONCATENATE POMAT-matnr POMARC-werks RC29N-STLAN INTO l_objky.

IS_BORIDENT-OBJTYPE = 'BUS1082'.

IS_BORIDENT-OBJKEY = l_objky.

Hi Aditya,

Thank you for your query. You can achieve the requirement by following the above post.

If you debug, you will get an include in the PBO for CJ30 where you can add this piece of code thru implicit enhancement.

The include name is - MKBUDF02

Form name - INIT_PROJ_PBO

Click on the 'Enhance' button (Shift + F4). Go to Menu->Edit->Enhancement Operations->Show implicit enhancement options.

A dotted line will appear. Right click->Enhancement implementation->Create

Then write following code:

DATA: LR_GOS_MANAGER TYPE REF TO CL_GOS_MANAGER,

LS_BORIDENT TYPE BORIDENT.

LS_BORIDENT-OBJTYPE = 'BUS2001'.

CREATE OBJECT LR_GOS_MANAGER

EXPORTING

IS_OBJECT = LS_BORIDENT

IP_NO_COMMIT = ' '

EXCEPTIONS

OBJECT_INVALID = 1.

Activate the enhancement, executee CJ30 and you will see the GOS toolbar.

Hope this helps. Try this out and let me know if you face any issues.

We activated GOS for CJ30, but the menu 'Store business document' isn't active.

Although it's active in CJ20N, where I can assign documents to Project Definition (2001) and view.

Any ideas why it's disabled in CJ30?

Hi I am trying to use the GOS for VA41. Currently the service is enabled for VA42 and VA43. But the business requirement is to enable the service for VA41 also. I did get the following docmantation for "Publishing Object and offering the Toolbox Directly" where it talks about using BOR_ID in Create transactions.

As I am new to GOS I still dont where exactly that peice of code should be implemented.

Like above reply could someone help me to let me know where I can implement the GOS for VA41.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Hima,

You can achieve this by doing implicit enhancement in include 'MV45AF0T_TRANSAKTION_INIT' in form 'TRANSAKTION_INIT'.

Pass

LS_BORIDENT-OBJTYPE = 'BUSISM0030'.

LS_BORIDENT-OBJKEY = vbak-auart.

in the above code.

Activate the enhancement and the GOS toolbar will be activated for VA41.

Hi Hima,

The ICON 'Workflow' has three options - Start workflow, workflow overview and Archived workflows.

A]Start workflow - This is used for starting workflows that use the object. All suitable workflows automatically determine the system and are offered for execution.

The SAP System contains active workflows that fulfill the following prerequisites:

1.They must be allowed to start the workflow.

2.The workflow is only allowed to have the object as an obligatory import parameter.

When you click on start workflow - All active workflows which fulfill the prerequisites above are displayed.

B] Display workflow - This will display the overview of the workflow, if any.

C] Archieved workflow - All workflows that are running or have been executed, in which your document (object) has already been edited, are displayed.

So as described above this is standard feature. In my case the behavior of the 'Workflow' button on the GOS toolbar is same for VA41, VA42 and VA43 i.e. workflow Icon is activate, but Start workflow, workflow overview, or Archived workflows options are greyed out.

Abhijeet

Hi Abhijeet (and others too!),

One remark and one question.

The remark :

Despite of what you have written above "5. For Sales order, the service can be activated by setting user parameter.Set parameter SD_SWU_ACTIVE = ‘X’ in the user profile. This will activate the generic object services for VA01, VA02 and VA03." the system is not activated for VA01 but for VA02 and VA03 only. Can you comment?

The question :

Do you know how to achieve in VA01 a simultaneous creation in "Services for Object" of a (default) link to internal network address for sales order on one hand and in Windows of a (default) folder named as "SAP sales odrer number" & "SAP customers name" ?

The business background would then be for sales clerk to populate whenever needed the Windows folder created in such automated way with whatever external document (email, plan, spreadsheet, picture) he needs in order to manage the follow-up of customer order. Thus any person authorized to display customer order (VA03) could check the current status of customer order processing beyond SAP-related matters without systematically disturbing the sales clerk.

Hi Kavi,

Glad that the document helped you.

For activating the GOS for material reservation, please use the include MM07RFP0.

Alternatively you can find other includes by debugging, if this include does not serve your purpose. Use the following code in the implicit enhancement:

DATA: LR_GOS_MANAGER TYPE REF TO CL_GOS_MANAGER,

LS_BORIDENT TYPE BORIDENT.

LS_BORIDENT-OBJTYPE = 'BUS2093'.

LS_BORIDENT-OBJKEY = RM07M-RSNUM.

CREATE OBJECT LR_GOS_MANAGER

EXPORTING

IS_OBJECT = LS_BORIDENT

IP_NO_COMMIT = ' '

EXCEPTIONS

OBJECT_INVALID = 1.

I tested and it worked. Hope this helps you.

Thank You.

Hi Abhijeet Kapgate,

Thanks for your valuable info Then i tried out this by inserting those coding into implict enhancement. It can be activated the GOS toolbar. Attachments can be inserted. But there is a new problem that the attachment list is not refreshing properly.

For instance, i have attached one file into one material reservation number say '10001'. Then when i go to mb21 for creating another reservation that old attachment contains for this newly created reservation as well(Instead the attachment list should be empty as its a new creation right?). That is attachment list is not refreshing. It is containing old material number attachment as well. Pls advise whether we need to do code for refresh attachment list if go to Mb21. If yes then how it can be applicable for MB22./MB23. Once again many thanks for your great support

Hi Abhijeet,

Found the reason for the old attachment repetition in MB21 and MB22. As SAP standard process, we are not supposed to add attachments in creation documents such as VA01, ME21N and MB21 etc. Because all attachments will be stored as binary format in table SRGBTBREL according to object type.

So in my case, even i add attachment in MB21, it will get stored with ID '0000000000' since document number will be created only after it get saved. So that's the reason whenever i go into MB21 freshly i could see the old attachments. Now i have removed it using below selection coding. It's working fine. Thanks for your support.

Select count(*) into lv_count

from SRGBTBREL

Hi Abhijeet,

Can you please confirm if we have to implement the BADI -- "CL_PLM_AUDIT_GOS" to enable GOS in PLMD_AUDIT transaction?

OR GOS will be enabled by implementing the code mentioned in the blog above in one of the includes of PBO? Also what if there is no business object related to the transaction?

Thanks

Hello Luis,

You can use the business object BUS3005 for condition type. The key field is ConditionRecordNo. Please try the above approach and see .

You might need to add required attributes and methods to this object.

Hi Hemanth,

For Sales order, the service can be activated by setting user parameter.Set parameter SD_SWU_ACTIVE = ‘X’ in the user profile. This will activate the generic object services for VA01, VA02 and VA03 T-codes.

I have the same requirement as mentioned above by Atul, I am trying to activate GOS toolbar for EHS&M modules transaction EHSAMBTAET where it does not have any standard Business Object. Here we have created a custom business object and trying to create a document link from SAP to Open text.

I've implemented GOS in outline agreement and I'm using BOR BUS2014. Insert code into badi name ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST.

The reason why I insert this GOS in ME35K because the approver normally will check the attachments in contract before

approve it. Here the method I used.

Method: IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~INITIALIZE

DATA: lr_gos_manager TYPE REF TO cl_gos_manager, ls_borident TYPE borident, lv_ekko(15) type c, it_ekko type ekko.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <ekko> TYPE ekko.

IF sy-tcode EQ 'ME33K'.

lv_ekko = '(SAPMM06E)EKKO'. ASSIGN (lv_ekko) TO <ekko>. it_ekko-ebeln = <ekko>-ebeln.

ls_borident-objtype = 'BUS2014'.

ls_borident-objkey = it_ekko-ebeln.

CREATE OBJECT lr_gos_manager EXPORTING is_object = ls_borident ip_no_commit = ' ' EXCEPTIONS object_invalid = 1.

ENDIF.

I tried the same with ME31L t-code and while creating Schedule Agreement I am attaching one Excel file but when I saw that schedule agreement in ME33L I couldn’t find the attachment. This is my below code.

IF sy–tcode EQ ‘ME31L’. DATA: lr_gos_manager TYPE REF TO cl_gos_manager, ls_borident TYPE borident, lv_ebeln TYPE ekko–ebeln.

Hi Abhijeet,

Thanks for the post.

I have a requirement to activate GOS for FB11 transaction. I added the piece of code you have provided in an implicit enhancement. The GOS tool bar appears.

The user wants the workflow overview option. But in my case, GOS is activated and works for only few documents.

For rest of them it throws a message : There are no workflows that have already worked with this object.

Could you please help me with this. Is there a way I can debug GOS and see why no workflow data is being pulled out.

Note: I can see workflow items for this particular document in SWI1.

Thanks.
