Attachments to a Document 

Use

To store or send documents with similar contents, one document can be appended to the other as an attachment.

The PR department of a company sends a press release to the Executive Board to be checked. The relevant pictures are appended to the document as an attachment. As the press release is also to appear on the company homepage on the Internet, a link to the web server that hosts the web site is also to be included.

Features

Using the function Create attachment, you can append any existing documents or spool requests stored by you to a selected document as attachments. You can also create documents stored in the Business Workplace and business objects existing in the R/3 System or on web pages as attachments.
